GGG vs This ATG...........

Unless you have a time machine, then...
Who gives a f*ck?

 

Quite a loaded question, I bet if anyone picks Golovkin you'd go in a frenzy about how he's not beaten anybody and can't be compared to ATGs, and you'd be right, it's pretty pointless really at this point to make these kind of comparisons and I'm not sure why this obsession people have for Golovkin in fantasy match ups against legends of the past.

 

Both Hearns' and Golovkin's chin would play a huge part in this bout, like it did in the Hagler bout.
Hearns insane reach, skill and big power would probably be enough to outbox GGG, but if he gets caught clean or dropped too many times Golovkin can certainly win.

I would favor The Hitman by decision or late stoppage, but Golovkin certainly would have a chance against him.

 

Damnation. You had to post it twice?:rofl

You start out critical of people discussing GGG vs past fighter, then ask about GGG vs a fighter from the past.
That is pants on head stupid

 

"Those" goons do it.
Actual fights that can happen>Fantasy fights
I don't even like talking Haymon fighters vs non Haymon fighters.
I prefer reality

 

What you may have missed is that the vast majority of GGG vs (insert ATG) fantasy match-ups are simple troll threads and are often responded to with appropriate frivolity - tbh this thread could prolly be filed alongside them.

As has already been pointed out in the absence of a time machine all that is left is pure speculation, subjective opinion and the eye-test. The venerated status accorded to greats like Hearns or Hagler is pretty much guaranteed to generate controversy in any speculative match up with a contemporary fighter, which is, of course, the point.

FWIW tho it is a fight a would very much have liked to see. Let me pose a counter question - which of the Hitman's opponents does GGG most resemble stylistically, in your opinion?

 

Fair enough
