    A master "spoiler" is and has been the trickiest matchup for GGG because of how much he loves to control distance. Ward would be, by a margin, the toughest fight for that reason, followed by Froch.

    Love Sergio, but the durability deficiency and GGG's efficiency in cutting the ring off spells doom for him. Horrible styles matchup for the Sexy one.

    Pavlik is a tough *******, and in some ways, had similar qualities to the slightly older version of GGG. Brutal fight, and and fun one to watch, but I think GGG has more nuances to his game than the Ghost. Gotta favor Golovkin.

    Shame Kelly's alcoholism shortened his peak so much. Easy to forget he's only 4 days older than GGG.

    Another reason why I fancy him over Froch is JT and AD outboxing him to decision, before the KO and robbery.
    I think GGG would handle JT, much easier than Pavlik did. AD would run and hide all night vs GGG, eventually he'd be cornered and stopped. Look what AA did to him up there at 168lbs. This whole Froch bullies GGG into submission thing makes me laugh quite frankly.

    No need to look at what AA did to him. Curtis Stevens had AD on the run.

    Had to laugh the other when you lost your rag with the usual suspects about the decision being fair but it was a close fight.
    Quite rightly they're think it wrong to take Canelos belts off him in such a close fight where the opposition didn't do enough to take em..You see where I'm going with this don't you?
