    After reviewing a few of their most recent fights I'm starting to think these guys match up pretty well. I can't really pick too many winners.

    GGG is not as faded as many suggest, he still hits hard as anyone. He still has one of the best chins you will ever see and he is still pretty relentless. His foot and hand speed do seem to be on the decline.

    I actually think GGG would eventually get to Andrade who seems to be a bit weak at the weight. Andrade is extremely tricky and quick early but he doesn't have the punch to keep GGG off him. GGG would just keep coming and would eventually get him and stop Andrade who has a bit of a suspect mandible imo.

    Charlo is a bit harder for GGG because he hits hard enough for GGG to not just walk through him. I think Charlo can keep it long and just out point GGG with speed, length and youth.

    Andrade matches up better with Charlo. Charlo prefers to be the counter puncher and is a bit stiff when he has to go find an opponent. Andrade might just be too tricky early and get a big lead. Andrade won't have to deal with GGG's relentless pressure and might be able to conserve energy to help take him 12 rounds.

    I could definitely see any of the three beating each other so this theory might just be crap but what are your thoughts out there...?

    Sounds like a pretty solid triangle theory to me.

    But GGG is on a Chávez Sr style retirement tour these days. Doubt these fight will ever happen.

    I think charlo vs GGG is 50/50 today
    60/40 in Charlo’s favor next year.

    booboo is the under dog in all scenarios for all the reasons you stated. ( his suspect chin will get hurt in a charlo fight I think)

    Golovkin will be 40 next year, it wouldn't be fair to match him with boxers 10 years younger than him.

    It's Canelo who should fight Charlo, Andrade, Crawford etc.
