Gerald McClellan -Would Golovkin Take Him Out?

And what exactly about McClellan sold you lmao.

 

Just personal opinion.Loved watching Gerald he was so exciting.Glad i made you laugh, everyone needs a chuckle these days

 

This is difficult to say. Gerald had all the physical tools to be great. He had height, reach, a big bomb, and he could also take a great shot, but I don't think he utilized all his advantages. He fell in love with his power, (particularily his right hand) and became first round knockout obsessed and forgot about boxing and defense.
I would think he should be able to control the distance with Golovkin from long range, but I also thought he would do that with Benn and he didn't. He should have made the Benn fight easy, took his time, and picked Benn apart, but he didn't...
Golovkin could punch and could take a good shot too. I thought he would do better though against Alavarez and couldn't beat him in three tries...
Golovkin could be an immovable object Gerald can't break and Gennady pulls it off....

 

Did anyone ever see Gerald's losses to Dennis Milton and Ralph Ward? Milton was blown away by Julian Jackson and Ward was beaten by Terry Norris.
I was watching the Ward-Norris fight and couldn't believe this was one of the guys that beat G-Man.

 

Golovkin for me. He's shown far more skill and completeness than Gerald. He combines big power with a superb chin and he has some skill to boot. GGG can get overrated but i have to side with him in this one.

I could be wrong and certainly wouldn't debate anyone going after GGG per opposition and struggling with the better guys he faced.

 

When it comes to Golovkin people seem to be fixed on the old guy that struggled with prime Canelo. They seem to forget the near - decade long knockout streak before that. Golovkin is one of the most underrated boxers ever imo.
He’d have wrecked Canelo and Jacobs if they were all the same age. He would KO McClellan too.
