    Assuming GGG can't get Saunders, Jacobs or Canelo, how he would do @ 168 lbs for the first time ?

    How GGG would translate his power, speed and stamina against a world class 168 pounder like DeGale or Zurdo Ramirez ?:think Not to mention that these 2 guys are much bigger than Golovkin, height and reach wise.

    discuss.

    Because of their size it´s possible it wont end by TKO/KO. Degale has the best chance to make it competitive.

    Degale is very underrated he would give ggg hell. Ramirez isn't that good and would take a prolonged beating.

    Yeah, I think DeGale may outbox/outsmart GGG.

    No, Golovkin has to have a few tune ups, Ward needs loads of them, I heard Ward needs another tune up for his next tune up.

    Yeah, I don't see a T/KO happen in these fights too.

    The gym provides multiple opportunites for tune ups for 168lbs and beyond.

    Zurdo, and to an extent DeGale, are overrated imo. 168 is worse than 160 right now.

    Depends really, if GGG's power and cheen is as good as Kovalev says then he would just keep coming forward and steam into them. Being the shorter fighter could possibly work in his favour.

    I could see JDG getting drawn into a war and getting stopped late. Obviously he's grown since the Groves fight but he'll still have some of the same mentality.

    Beats them both, probably TKO Zurdo. He's in a different class skill wise and his power would easily trouble LHWs. GGG will be at a disadvantage in terms of size and reach, but he's a master when it comes to closing the distance. Once he gets their measure and gets in close (and he will) they are both in trouble.
