    He almost murdered Zertuche. I think a right uppercut was the finisher in that one.

    Derev never hurt GGG maybe once to the body when he was 38 years old. Canelo couldn't make GGG blink even at 40. Pavlik wouldn't hurt GGG, especially in his prime. Lemieux hit him with a few good shot and got no reaction.

    They made a bigger deal out of it than they should have. Golovkin would tighten his defense and be prepared against a known puncher like pavlik. It would have been a very good competitive fight, but i would go with Golovkin for sure. To get you calibrated look at Pavlik vs Rubio then look at Golovkin vs Rubio.

    That was a great body shot and it rocked Gggs core to the bone!

    It hurt him for about a half second.

    I don't think Pavlik had any more power than Canelo, and he had a much lesser chin.

    I see a bout with GGG as king badly for the Boy from Ohio. He probably gets stopped.

    Those straight shots, devastating jab, with that long right, are much different than little Canelos short explosive ones.
    Different dynamics.

    Watched 3 if his fights entirely tonight..

    Idk. That 2007 Miranda and Taylor were dangerous and ripped through them with skill, heart and power. 2007 Pav had best shot vs G. He was a different level that year than any other.
    6'2.5 , 75" reach, broad shouldered, good guard, underrated defense

    He was undoubtedly one of the best MWs of his era, but Miranda was greatly overrated.

    Miranda was damaged goods after the AA and Pav fights. He even struggled with Green before the Pav fight, true
