    No boxing, no moving around. Just 2 guys in front of each other swinging until one goes down. Canelo tried it the last round for only a few seconds and he got wobbled badly.

    Perhaps an unfair comparison when taking into account that middleweights today will be heavier than those of yesteryear (with the different weigh-in rules).

    I am a bigtime Golovkin slappy but have always thought Toney would come out on top if they went toe to toe. Both have chin for days and Toney could bang himself at 160. I see Toney's ability to roll with punches or dodge them altogether giving him a crucial advantage in a shootout.

    James Toney would stand in front of GGG and counter the **** out of him. Maybe.

    This. Toney had excellent footwork, defense, and power at 160 in comparison to Canelo, who has no footwork, decent power, and overrated defense. GGG would get rocked hard if not stopped following Toney around the ring like he did Canelo.

    Is that not flush enough? Both guys handled the other's power well. You might very well be the best troll I've ever met. I take my hat off to you.
