    I do not think he is capable of losing. Kell Brook fought a great fight against GGG, in fact I think it was stopped prematurely however it still would have ended like the rest of Golovkin's other fights. I guess the talk of Jacobs scoring an upset makes for good hypothetical fruitless conversation though.
    I also love the talk of Lemieux scoring his latest KO, really??? Is there a consultation bracket for all those who couldn't get past GGG BC all the talk of GGGs casulties latest success is pretty much a mute point BC GGG will continue to hold the division hostage until Gennady decides to hang the gloves up. Just sayin...

    Nobody is unstoppable, not even Golovkin.
    It doesn't even have to be in a legit way. A robbery or bogus DQ is just around the corner.
    There's also always that guy who just has your number, like Norton for Ali, and if you have to fight your mandatories, that guy will come around. Not everyone can pick his own opponents, location, judges, testing agency and such.

    Calzaghe and Marciano fall under the unstoppable umbrella, I believe.

    Who are you asking that question to? If it's me you didn't get the essence of my post.
    Golovkin fights his mandatories, unlike other big names.

    GGG is pretty much unbeatable once he gets past canelo, seeing as Ward has moved up

    anyone who knows boxing and knows styles can see clear as day ward is GGG's kryptonite.

    canelo i think is about a 35% chance to beat GGG (as i think at 160 limit his stamina will improve)

    I'm sorry it was directed at you, I thought you were being serious about GGGs mandatories

    Although in Golovkin's case it will be age getting to him rather than a particular opponent.

    I reckon he has about 8 - 10 fights at the top level left in him. That is 2-3 years.

    Deterioration in GGG may take place more slowly than in fighters that rely on speed and reflexes to get the job done, because his approach is technique-based and depends more on a systematic approach than sheer talent. Also, two of his great assets, his chin and strength, are the last to go.

    So, he gets through Jacobs
    Then Canelo
    Ward drops down
    Then Floyd
    I making my Christmas list early
    I think he should fight Kell Brook once more and Lemieux just to let Lemieux know that GGG wasn't scared to give him another shot
    I just hope GGGs handlers do it right

    8-10 fights ? No chance. Hes already slowing up now. Shame he got his exposure late, as he (for me) is one of the greatest middles ever. I don't care about his opposition. Hopkins fought no one notable at middle bar welters... I think hes slowed up noticeable since Macklin, ggg. His technique is very very good. Every punch thrown perfect with feet an balance spot on

    It's amazing how it looks like we'll be getting an ATG based on the manner he despatched B level opposition.

    GGG has been desperately unlucky with which middleweights have been on the scene in the past 5 years. It becomes more apparent by the day how much he needs that Canelo fight.

    Floyd could beat him, the one that beat Canelo Alvarez.

    Floyd should come to 160 if he believes that

    Yes, I think he should and he said that GGG is easy work and no special effects".
