    I don't see him beating any of them, but then he's a natural middleweight and they were all light heavyweights.

    FLoyds been nailed in his last three fights by smaller fighters. When GGG nails him its light out kemosabe.

    Floyd is too old, and 20lbs too light.

    If GGG cant beat him, he needs to put his gloves in the trash can and light it on fire.

    A good summary but asking Mr Mayweather to avoid Mr Golovkins power for twelve rounds is like expecting a camel to climb a pyramid in stiletto heels. Mr Golovkin is extremely talented and fights in a style that is almost certainly the worst type of match up for Mr Mayweather.When you factor in GGGs power this is a fight Mr Mayweather would almost certainly lose.Of course if Mayweather made this fight he earns huge respect and if he beat GGG it would almost certainly catapult Mr Mayweather into the rarefied atmosphere of top ten ATGs.

    If GGG fought any of them following the level of competition he's become used to I'd definitely favor all 3 by embarrassing fashion. The step up in opposition is more drastic then anything I've ever seen. GGG still looks very good vs solid and below average opposition but can't/won't favor him over any ATG at the moment until he faces an elite boxer.

    Jones gets KOed he doesn't have the Chin to hang in there with a savage puncher.

    Hopkins would make it an ugly fight not sure who would win

    Toney I am not sure about either depends on which version shows up. He got a lot of gift Decisions at 160 and 168.

    Only chance he has is against Toney and even then, his power wouldn't be enough to take him out. The problem is GGGs chin hasn't been tested and all three of these punch harder than any Middle he's faced. Both Hopkins and Toney is certified granite chinned and GGG wouldn't be able to hit a prime RJJ period.

    As for the Brit elite fighers like Eubank and Benn, he has a good chance against Benn but Eubank would UD him. Eubanks chin was granite at middle.

    Floyd has declined enough for GGG to take him out at this point.

    GGG by decapitation if he can handle the weight drain. Floyd is way too small for him.
