    Jackson's chin wasn't that bad, it was okay, but he was on the downside with serious eye issues, and a MUCH smaller middleweight than McClellan.

    Bump
    Still think G-Man would have KO’d everyone in the MW division. The only ones I actually see lasting the distance would be Canelo and GGG. He’d straight up murder both Charlos.

    I need to watch the fight in order to know if the dog killer can beat Canelo and GGG. They are topnotch fighters even after opening 100 thousands tomato cans, robbed fights and all that garbage in their CVs. They both belong to this kind of fighters that you cant say XXX will beat him, without actually fighting them.

    The others... I dont care very much, tbh, they are noone anyway.

    Vs. the Middleweights today?

    Stylistically I give Golovkin and Canelo the best chance. Both of them have stone jawlines,
    are defensively responsible and have the ability to outbox Mclellan. Canelo's upper body movement is phenomenal and Golovkin quite frankly doesn't get hit clean alot and has that equalizer in a great jab

    Jermall, I think is packing a very good chin, but I don't think he can outbox Mclellan and would take quite a few shots because his
    defense is good but not elite. Danny Jacobs gets hit too much and and I don't see him surviving 12, Mclellan was just as long and more powerful. Saunders, I've seen box like a virtuoso and stink up the joint against guys he should've dominated so I can't really say.
    Andrade I think physically and mentally is too fragile.

    Everyone else in the division just simply get blown away.

    Gman beats all, but not easily. He was the king of weight bullies. He'd come in at near 180lbs.

    His 2 losses back, not sure whose seen those. Were they legit? Was he weight drained? It wasn't until Steward came along that he helped to control his weight. He'd be so drained, that it contributed to his gassing late...similar to how Cotto was, until he moved UP, then he was able to fight longer & sustain power.

    And what occurred against Benn was the sickest sorriest display of reffing. Way too many sickening rabbit punches over and over.

    Least but not last, He could box, if not goaded, that is how he stopped Roy Jones from being a 3 time GG champ.
