    Who would win if Bivol and a prime Golovkin met at Supermiddle weight?

    Prime GGG? Golovkin, probably by TKO.
    Bivol is not technically better than Golovkin and he doesn't hit as hard.
    He has a size advantage, but not the length advantage he has over Canelo.
    It's not like Golovkin won't catch him over twelve, even Joe Smith landed a big one.
    Just because Bivol beat Canelo it doesn't mean he beats Golovkin. And people are quick to forget that Golovkin also beat Canelo comfortably the first fight and that the 160 Canelo was faster and harder to hit.

    Bivol's feet are better, he can fight on the backfoot better and he's quicker on the punch release than Golovkin. Only thing is Golovkin is weak to the body, but Bivol doesn't go to the body.

    Bivol UD

    Most likely Bivol points

    However Fantasy matches like this are bollocks...... fighters fighting at weights we've never once seen them at

    How do we know GGG would've been the same force up at 168... does his power Carry (e.g. Abraham at 160 vs Abraham at 168) ?

    How do we know if stripping Bivol down to 168 means he can't take a good shot or do the 12 rounds effectively......

    GGG by KO....Golovkin's footwork was also pretty quick back in his prime.

    Absolutely. 36 yo GGG beat Canelo twice as well.

    GGGs pressure when he was in his prime was far more technical, intelligent than the pressure Canelo offered against Bivol - plod forward, minimal head movement, throwaway jab, right hand to shoulder/arm - repeat

    GGG wouldn't even fight Ward at 168, I don't think he would consider Bivol at 168 either.

    Canelo stated GGG's hits at 160 felt like Bivols at 175, meaning a 168 GGG ~ 175 Bivol > 168 Bivol. Based on visual damage we've seen GGG inflict to Canelo which Bivol never came close to....I believe him.

    First of all, GGG would of never ever fought Bivol unless he forced Bivol to fight at 160, nothing in GGG's career suggests otherwise, barring the 3rd Canelo fight he was the favorite in literally all of his fights, he never stepped up in competition, not even once. If the fight were to take place however and both fighters were at a healthy weight then Bivol by easy UD. GGG is there to be hit, his head movement is non existent. I see a lot of straight one two's constantly connecting on GGG's big head.
