    Yeah they are unreasonable, but for the moment they've been replaced by the Caneloons.:deal: (I just trademarked that by the way:D)

    To be fair the only posters who bashed you for that were real crazy fanboys whose opinions don't hold much (if any) weight. Besides they never apologize, much like the GGG haters who are scrambling right now to find new things to criticize him about:
    - GGG ducking rematch!
    - GGG's chin is no good, Canelo's is better. But GGG took more punishment and is ruined!
    - GGG won by robbery!
    - Let's score the fight via GIFs!
    - GGG was a cruiserweight in there!

    Back to the topic, I'd say Froch is a pick'em, Froch has the physicality and chin but skills-wise he's not up there with Ward or Martinez.

    Ward beats GGG, and I'd favour GGG against Martinez and Pavlik.

    Martinez is an awesome boxer but I just think he was a bit fragile. I'd definitely root for him though, I like him more than Golovkin. When he was at his best I just remember the sheer joy of watching him.

    I think Golovkin is a little better than Pavlik at most things. But you're right that those two would present problems of course.

    I actually feel more confident picking him to outbox and outhustle Pavlik.

    50/50 with Maravilla and Froch from the Groves fights.

    And Ward would always beat him. Not even debatable.

    That's similar to my assessments over the years. I love Sergio, one of my favorite fighters, much more than I like GGG, and I think he'd last the distance, but suffer a few KD's and lose a close decision, Froch I'm more confident in than you, I think his jab if he unfurled it like he did against AA would give GGG a ton of issues, and his overall size would also be advantageous.

    Pavlik if it turned into a war he would most likely be pummeled but his chin was good enough to possibly go toe to toe and could spring a crazy Miranda like upset stoppage. If he fights cautiously he'd probably lose close.

    What do you think, does Canelo's carpet match the drapes?

    Prime vs prime.

    GGG runs through Pavlik.
    Martinez got dropped by Jr, he'll eventually get caught by GGG.
    I think GGG beats Froch by decision. He can outbox him and go toe to toe.
    I've never thought GGG beats Ward at 168lbs The physical disadvantages, not to mention the "tricks" Ward has up his sleeve and in his head will be enough for him to defeat GGG by decision., He's got enough movement to stay out of range as well.

    For what it's worth, the WBC made a "Huichol" belt for the winner of this match-up (lol!) and presented it to Golovkin as they thought he won the fight. & Canelo wouldn't have accepted it.

    Hey guys, guess who I am:

    A - "I believe I won and want the rematch"

    B - "I want to rest the rest of the year and then talk"

    *hint - "A" is not Canelo...

    No you don't. Golovkin beats all of those except for Ward.
