    I agree I think Calzaghe is a terrible matchup for GGG, I can't really think of too many worse for him.

    I'm torn on Joe vs Kovalev though. I think it's a toss-up.

    Clearly Calzaghe.
    I would not be convinced about Golovkin going the distance with a fired up Calzaghe

    Calzaghe would outpoint him. There's no shame in that though for Golovkin. Calzaghe Vs Kovalev would have been an amazing fight

    Slappy would be Golovkin's worst nightmare.

    This thread has to be a joke :rofl
    I can just see Gennady dropping his hands letting Calzaghe The Slapping Sniffer, slap like a little girl while he laughs at him
    Then when he gets bored of playing with him Gennady puts Sniffer to sleep
    To silly to be taken seriously:patsch

    well yes CJ below 168 Gennady is favoured, but I think at SMW, due to joe being bigger,he can win.


    however I would make it even stevens at that weight, unless joe used his cheat Cardiff ref to gift him a win after 3G knocked him over in round 1 as does happen to him when he meets a banger.

    however if 3g moves up to SMW and starts ripping that division up in the way hes done in MW, then you gotta favour 3g to stop joe in a neutral location where joes ref cant save him.

    dumb thread. AGAIN, GGG is unbeatable in hypothetical fights...

    there's absolutely no basis for ggg losing a hypothetical fight.. we haven't even seen him go FULL THROTTLE yet

    poor lil g....even though this isnt the real world...can we keep lil g in his lane? facing off with top 168 fighters isnt his lane...he needs to stick with c level mws in a weak era....an 09 andre dirrell would embarrass lil g

    Levels!!!

    JC is levels above golovkins opposition. He wouldn't be able to walk through him like he does a lot of his opponents

    GGG struggled over 10 with Martin Murray ffs

    Calzaghe was a big SMW and GGG isnt big for MW
