    Funny thing is I read from people that Andrade would give GGG more problems than Charlo but I don't think so. Charlo at least has the proverbial punchers chance (although those rarely come through and GGG has an iron chin). I don't see it with Andrade, who seems to slap with a lot of his shots. And he would eventually eat punches from GGG that would take his head off (or maybe even a body shot(s)).

    But yeah I don't think either guy beats him, unless they fight Golovkin when he's 40.

    I think GGG stops Charlo late or wins a 9-3 type UD. As for Andrade, I actually would pick Boo Boo to decision GGG if he can remain focused and composed. GGG isnt physically what he once was, and though never a fast or particularly athletically gifted fighter, in his prime I considered him to be above average athletically and he had above average speed. Now that he is deteriorating in those areas it's pretty apparent that he isn't close to the fighter he was. I just feel Andrade would be too fast, long, and elusive for GGG right now.

    Charlo obviously has a big speed advantage and the upper hand over GGG athletically, but I don't see him using those advantages the best he can. He's an aggresive, come forward, attacking fighter. No matter how far removed GGG is from his prime, he is still VERY skilled and still has p4p punching power. I cant recall ever seeing Jermall fight a murderous puncher, or even just a good puncher. I'm not questioning his chin though, I suspect his chin is at least good if not better than good, but if GGG lands on him like Korobov did, I think he's going out. I just think GGG would always be a bad matchup for Jermall. But I also think the best version of Andrade would always be a bad matchup for GGG.

    This in my opinion is probably right. If Charlo struggled with Korobov's jab, Golovkin will give him nightmares, and Golovkin won't get tired. Andrade is more slippery and might give this older version of Golovkin a few issues for a while. But I also expect GGG to catch up to him and beat him down once he figures him out.
