    What do your guys think about this matchup right now?

    I am taking Kessler. Too big, too big, too clever for the good boy!

    Golovkin beats Kessler in a Froch 2-like fight. Kessler has too good of a chin. Would be a damn good fight to watch, though.

    How? Kessler is overall a better fighter. Maybe GGG has better power, nothing else.

    Great, great matchup. Kessler would have some success, a very good fighter overall, quicker hands and dangerous power, Kessler likes throwing short compact, explosive combinations, but GGG will wear him out to a decision win. Kessler gains early lead, stuns GGG, but GGG returns the favor, keeping a hectic pace. Instant classic.

    Fair enough opinion. I think Golovkin will have his moments, but i think Kessler will win like a 116-112 decision.

    Agreed Kessler beats GGG easy. But Golovkin has been called out by Stevens and he needs to get his hyped ass in the ring and fight him.

    Stevens? Thats a joke! The guy was outboxed by the "great" Jesse Brinkley. Stevens is gonna get good boyed, we all know that. GGG should man up and fight a live body, like Kessler.

    At 168 if I have a gun to my head I'm going with Kessler but I think it's close to a 50/50 fight even having never seen GGG compete at 168.

    Golovkin is the better fighter, better footwork, better Balance, better Jab, better technique, better timing

    Kessler might have a better chin
