Could be another Toney vs. Kovalev type of fight. Golovkin would pressure and force James to fight, but I can't go against JT. Toney should counter him quite a bit and win a decision. Any Toney "who would have won" is hard because James could be lazy and had the weight issues. Skill-wise though he was better.
I got Toney By UD lighting GGG up with fast combinations and countering pretty much every shot he throws. Kinda like in the Barkley fight. GGG will take it and keep coming though
I have Golovkin by jabbing Toney's head off and making his exaggerated body sway tell against him by nailing him in the liver
Agreed since when did Golovkin beat anyone on the level of Nunn, McCallum ? The 2 best fighters Golovkin fought in Canelo, Jacobs, he fought them in highly cautious jab-fests. And couldn't really ever separate himself against either fighter by really lifting the pace, or going at it 100 percent fully committing himself by taking risks to get the W like Toney did vs Nunn. Theres no evidence on Golovkin's CV that he could beat McCallum or Nunn.
That must include me mate. I love GGG to bits. I might be wrong but I am picking Toney to win a decision here.
Again, Toney by severely lopsided Decision. GGG's only chance is that Toney shows up unprepared, but since it's stipulated that wouldn't happen, GGG's in for an ass whupping.
