Golovkin v Hagler's title defenses?

I asked who he Ko'd at 160 or 168. No, I'm not very impressed with Hearns power at 160 and 168. At 147, Absolutely!

No issues at welter, but he was so skilled, rangy and powerful like you said few outside of Leonard could test him there. At middleweight he had issues vs punchers.

If it was scheduled for 12, Dundee tells Leonard " you're blowing it " three rounds sooner, and Sugar Ray opts to start slugging sooner.

Lol is right. Make you your mind. If GGG is so easy to hit as you keep telling us fighting with " his face ", then why do you keep questioning his chin? The man had over 380 amateur and pro fights without being floored. You're trying to have it both ways, doesn't work like that.

Hearns is in a fight here, his body and chin would not hold up, and I already showed you his power at 160 didn't really stop anyone of top class. When his opponent had durability and power, it spells trouble for the hit man above 160, and I'm a big fan of his.

 

I'd give Golovkin a chance of beating all of them. I'd give Hearns, Leonard and Mugabi a solid chance of beating Golovkin. Duran I give a slight chance of beating him.

 

Your question was just another deflection from my assertion that Golovkin's chin has never been tested against a puncher like Hearns. I stand by that assertion.

Typically, you going running for numbers, which can't adequately address that assertion.

I've not disputed that. Golovkin has a Puncher's chance and I base that on the one anomalous result that was Barkley.

Nice speculation but, it doesn't really work that way. Nor does your oversimplification, of how Leonard closed the show, give the deserved level of credit to Sugar Ray's skills.

Dream on.

I've mentioned Golovkin's chin once - in the following context:

Has it or has it not?

So, yet more misinterpretation by you, on the content of my posts. (Seriously, it's actually getting a bit tiresome now).

I've never speculated that Hearns would stop Golovkin. You're arguing the wrong case, as you often end up doing.

As previously pointed out, Hearns went 61-5-1, across six weight divisions. That's not achievable without some level of durability.

Golovkin has a Puncher's chance and he'd need it, because him landing a KO punch is the only realistic way for him to get the result against an elite Boxer like Hearns.

 

And that Leonard.

 

Hearns fought other big punchers. GGG was not as unpredicatable and awkward as Iran Barkley. Barkley had this style where he could be looking like he was being beaten and hit guy with clean punches. Duran and Toney were hit with punches like that. I see Hearns stopping GGG in a tough fight, but if Tommy fought smart he would stop him with the right hand. He would have to respect him, and he did not respect Barkley in 1988. He was rather reckless. Roldan hit everyone. Who do you think Nunn said hit him the hardest? Roldan. He knocked down Hagler)yes a slip) with a cuff around the neck. I think you are taking Hearns tougher fights and thinking well if they can do it GGG can, when Hearns was moving up and down in weights which affected him and I was surprised Emanuel let him move up and down like that recklessly. Shuler 160 March1986, Medal 154 June 1986, Dewitt 160 Oct. 1986, Andries March, 1987. 9 months after fighting at 154. Then in October 1987 Roldan 160.. Then Barkley 160 June 88, then Nov. 1988 168..5 weight changes in 2 years.. GGG never could move up and down like that and be effective. Most guys couldn't. Who ever did that? Fight in title fights in 3 divisions from 154-175 within a little over a year. That contributed to Hearns losing as well as other things.

 

I don't think GGG has taken a Hearns or Mugabi punch yet at 160. No. I am not sure who I am answering here. This might have been and answer to an answer.

 

GGG is not Hagler quality,and Hearns is better than Jacobs and punches harder. GGG is not that great he is hit easily and his offense has been his defense, but he has fought very inferior level fighters.

 

I think Hearns figured he was rushing into a middleweight fight early and wanted to fight Benitez at 154.. He fought Hagler eventually, and I don't thinks it was a bad fight. It was pretty good.
