    As overrated as Monzons opposition was it was still lightyears better than anyone Golovkin has faced.

    I want to see what Golovkin can do against his peers before pitting him against the past.

    As good as Golovkin is coming forward, Carlos is very comfortable operating off the the back foot, and if comes down to GGG having to come into range to land the Left hook to the body to make a serious impression, i fear he would have to cross that no mans land, with Carlos's Howitzer right hand targeting him , GGG has shown himself to have an excellant Jab, but then so did Carlos, so no real advantage there for him, GGG certainly looks smoother, with Carlos looking a bit more Awkward, but Looks may be one thing..It's effectiveness that counts, 'Off the Ball' Carlos was not particularly impressive looking, But when he let his shots go... Like Mike Spinks, A Cohesion was employed, and if the End of Career Monzon could turn back the challenges of the Firebrand Rodrigo Valdez, and GGG himself would find Rodrigo a Nasty Handful, Then i think that Carlos can take it on points, Happy to fight at steady pace, and cutting loose when necessary, Lets just say, in ones minds eye, if you replaced Martin Murray with Carlos Monzon...what would be the Natural Conclusion..
