    BHop got his ass beat by Jermain F'ing Taylor twice!!
    GGG runs him outta the ring...Bhop feared euro white boys and that is a FACT

    It'd be a great fight for sure, and I think it'd take a fight like G-man for GGG's critics to truly appreciate that he's not an unskilled brawler. I think Golovkin outboxes McClellan for a UD or stoppage (Gerald did have a great chin- unfortunately, he trusted it so much as to overrely on it at the expense of his D). It's a classic a matchup of pure aggression vs patient and methodical.

    Gerald only knew one speed, and I think that would be his downfall if he can't catch Golovkin early. G-man actually had a losing record in fights that went 6 rounds or longer and never won a fight past 8.

    I just watched Jackson-McClellan I and Julian was landing some sickening shots until the headbutt landed. Left a sinking feeling in my stomach listening to McClellan talking about the wicked headache he had in the post-fight interview...it was a Pyrrhic victory to me if there ever was one. G-man went to war with a guy he shouldn't have, even though he won in the end. Great for the fans, but a perfect example of a fighter who really did let himself get hit too much to land his own shots.

    Bingo. :good

    Regardless of who people think could or would beat him (after all, nobody's unbeatable), he's entertaining and skilled. Boxing can't have too many fighters like that.

    Hardly all one era to be honest

    Some of these guys are Hopkins early run, then the end of his reign start of the next two

    GGG smokes both Tito and Pavlik easily. He KO's taylor. Winky and Hopkins would pose the biggest problems for him.

    GGG doesn't deserve to be spoken of in them fighters company. His best win is Macklin and his last 2 fights are Stevens and Adama. Its like when people were making threads about Bute vs Toney and RJJ. Let this GGG at least prove he's elite first. Guys just a bumkiller up to now.

    Yeah, I got one. It's asking you WHY you think Gerald would beat Gennady?
    McClellan banged out guys who weren't as tough as he, until he couldn't
    bang out Benn. Nobody that G-man EVER beat in his whole career had
    even 1/4th the boxing pedigree, the generalship or Ring IQ that GGG has
    plus GGG has the same or more power than anyone, saenz Jackson, G-man
    fought. I think you just posted something you couldn't back up with experience.

    But you already made the superlative statement that Gerald would beat
    him, and I asked why you think that? Now you say you wouldn't bet on
    this fight. Ok then, so you're not sure G-man would beat GGG, right?

    btw, was the jury out on Stevens having KO power? Also, didn't
    Stevens fight mostly at 168 and 175 most of his career? And, didn't
    he have alot of KO's against C level opp but much bigger men than
    GGG? and didn't GGG stand right in front nose to nose with Stevens
    for alot of that fight?
    If you think of it, GGG has been in there with someone than hits as
    or almost as hard as G-man and he never got staggered even and dominated
    the fight.
    That's some serious analysis you should consider. hmmm?

    Whenever Gerald McClellan's name comes up it takes discipline for me NOT to post what I really think of the guy and how he conducted himself.

    I don't think they hate him just his fan boys. He's a exceptional fighter with a very fan friendly style and seems likeable too.

    Some hate Golovkin because Golovkin is the best 160 lbs. champion in the world today. He would have beaten Hopkins, Tito, Winky and Taylor.............Golovkin is a great fighter to watch................

    He beats all of these guys but Hopkins. Winky's style wouldn't suit well vs. GGG, Taylor was good of course but always has faded against pressure and a puncher, Tito would get KO'd in a fun fight.

    It isn't GGG's fault the current MW crop are a bunch of pansies, but ducking is in style today and boxing fans even support ducking.
