    Prime GGG goes to 175 to fight Antonio Tarver how does it go. Let's assume GGG is durable enough to absorb Tarvers punches how would he approach Tarver ?

    Golovkin is better P4P but the size difference could be a problem. On the other hand Golovkin might be the faster guy for a change and who knows how that might play out. I'm going to go GGG because of his track record but let's not forget 175 is a big jump up.

    Edit: I think Golovkin would try to box Tarver, if we are talking about his approach. He's never gone in against big hitters looking for a brawl.

    Tarver, even in a world where GGG is able to take his power, still definitely wins.
