    GGG of late vs pre Hagler Mugabi, can't decide. Pre Jacobs GGG vs the same Mugabi, I envision a similar back and forth Mugabi had with Hagler with GGG edging him out with maybe a late stoppage. I can't get the images out of my head of GGG reeling from Kell Brook's punches. Mugabi punches would land much harder. And that confident and ready to die version of Mugabi is not going to be blown out quickly. At the end, GGG has more tools and is the slightly stronger man.

    GGG beats on him and stops him in 8...I don’t get the love for Mugabi who really didn’t do much at MW (or in general) outside of a valiant losing effort to Hagler.

    Golovkin.

    Gennadiy is even bigger than Hagler and has an iron chin. He probably hits harder than Mugabi, but fights technically too. I get that Mugabi is no joke but he's walking uphill here. Even an older version of GGG has, imho, way too many tools for Mugabi to deal with.

    Golovkin ,too rounded, and too mobile for the stiff legged Ugandan. Mugabi was essentially a light middle whose power allowed him to compete with the 160 pounders.

    GGG will know he's in there with a dangerous fighter, but GGG is just to solid . Could go longer than some expect, Hagler said that Mugabi was very strong early and he knew he was going to have to break him down.
