    Golovkin leaves his head open to take shots on the chin too much. He gets stopped in 5 rounds. Golovkin isn't that strong as he's facing bums. It's an illusion.

    He wouldn't boss and push Hagler back with pressure like the bums he's faced.

    Golovkin would leave himself wide open and get rattled then it goes downhill for him. Rosados, Proksas, Stevens of this world... Members of the audience could get in and beat those guys.

    We don't know how GGG would react if someone could stand up to him and Hagler would do that. Like Golovkin he had a great chin as well as serious firepower which is why it would be such a great fight.

    If you have to dig up Hagler to find someone who beats GGG then you must think quite highly of GGG!

    Hagler would KTFO Golovkin. I get people buy into the hype, its their generation and of course they need a hero. Brook, a career WW, who is not an ATG, arguably not P4P as his best win is a close fight against Porter, and who has never fought at 160, meaning he has never hit a MW fighter, and has never been hit by a MW fighter. FFS he eye socket was broken with one punch. He may never be 100% again.

    GGGs resume is a joke. Everyone knows that, even GGG supporters.

    People are going to make a lot of money off GGG. From K2, to HBO, to GBP, to Canelo.

    I guarantee his next fight will be against another guy who stands no chance. In fact, it will be against a guy he is favored to KO.

    You know if Brook was a true MW, he would have beat Golovkin.. In fact, based on what we all saw, had Brook been a true MW he would have KO Golovkin with the punches we saw he landed.

    Interesting stuff from Sanchez.

    Hearns was a freak of nature, and Hagler essentially walked through him en route to a 3rd round KO. In that first round, Hearns nailed him with shots that would've knocked out anyone from 160 and below.

    Hagler was a terrific inside fighter. He had to be given his relatively small size for a MW. The guy carried a granite chin, had a terrific motor and a never say die attitude.It sucks he got his biggest fights during the waning stages in his career; IMO he was at his absolute peak between 1979 to 1981 (around the time he fought Hamsho.)

    I'd favor Hagler to beat him. I don't know in what manner since I haven't really seen Golovkin hurt as a pro, but that doesn't necessarily mean he has a great chin. I think it speaks more to the lack of talent he's faced up to this point in his pro career.

    Well start believing it. I saw monzon and hagler at the time when they were fighting and GGG could beat both. Not saying he "would" win for certain, or win easily, but it wouldn't shock me if he did best both.
    345 wins as an amateur in 350 fights. Has ko'd everyone for 8 years, 23 straight knockouts. Etc etc etc Come on! You don't achieve all that by fluke!

    He lost more than 5 times in the ams. His record is fake. It got exposed awhile ago.

    Also many i'd pick to beat him because he'd eventually got hurt and rocked by proper middles. G-Man, Eubank Sr, Nunn, Benn, Roy Jones Jr, Toney, Calzaghe,...etc... all beat him.

    Another thing relative to his weight division he's not actually a ''small'' middleweight. He's just the average and he's actually bigger than most in his weight class currently. The only guy bigger than him he's fought in his weight class was Martin Murray.

    Also, older fighters fought much more often and against better opposition. On average they'd lose more often and look more weary than the likes of the current generation. Core talent with today's nutrition they'd beat the likes of Golovkin.

    Golovkin leaves himself way too open for shots. He can take them off scrubs like Proksa and the Ishidas of this world, though.

    Most of the guys he's fought at middle have been smaller framed than him. That doesn't mean too much because of the quality of his opponents.

    Older footage vs new footage will make a fighter look slower than they are. Golovkin would look much slower on older film than he does now.
