    :good I usually don't hype prospects this early, but these guys are for real. Golovkin doesn't have the fastest hands or defense, but he has very good timing. I did notice he's faster on his toes than he is with his hands, maybe the reason why his timing and positioning is good and he's able to catch opponents faster and larger than himself. For a MW or SMW, he's not a big guy.

    Oh we will see it. Pirog has been fighting better opposition and the other 2 should fight better opposition bc they might be surprised when they get in there with one of the very best in the game right now. I see Pirog being too clever for either of them but time will tell

    I don't know how much of an advantage Pirog's cleverness will be, really.

    HNN is pretty tricky and creative between the ropes himself.

    Golovkin has a more straightforward style but has seen a little of everything and been in with some very crafty boxers.

    It's hard for me to split the three or put them in any clear order confidently without them mixing it up.

    Pirog and Golovkin have sparred IIRC. Would be an interesting match.

    How would Golovkin handle Ward if he filled in for Dirrell?

    Golovkin is probably the most dangerous Middleweight in the World at the moment and there aren't many that want to fight Him,Incredible power in both hands and seems to have a great chin anyone that takes hin on will not get it easy.!!!
