This nonsense needs to stop. I'm tired of these silly threads. Byrd wouldn't last 2 minutes with Golovkin. Prime Holyfield might, just might, be able to go the distance with Golovkin.
No. When has he sparred heavies, who are these heavies that he sparred and ko'd, and how do you know GG has an iron chin?:nut
GG would have to have Ibeabuchi or Wlad power to ko Byrd because Byrd's chin has been through hell and back at heavy.
If he hits him flush he could absolutely KO him. He has that kind of power. No other middle weights do. The question is can he absorb enough punishment until he can connect flush.
hahaha no. Byrd took shots from Wladimir klitscko and it took somewhile to go down so no. Like other people have said, Byrds way to slick to do that.
You Wlad nuthuggers have finally lost your minds with this Golovkin hype. You guys do realize Macklin is not that good right?? WHo the hell has Golovkin beat??? He looks like he has Aids with those toothpick legs. Man you guys are insane. He is to small to compete at 168 so he would like a little kid vs. a heavyweight. Bunch of dumbasses
You're a little harsh on the guy. I think he's actually rather good, with a lot of potential. I do think the praise goes overboard, though. To suggest that he could go in there and even compete with the likes of Chris Byrd is just plain disrespectful. He KO's Macklin in 3 rounds with a body shot, and now he's able to all of a sudden move up the ranks to and KO Ward, and all the best at 168???? GTFOH! atsch
After watching Byrd's last fight I would say I would not be suprised if Golovkin were to beat Byrd by KO or TKO...........
