    Do you think all of these guys in their prime would give Golovkin many problems?


    Or does he wipe them all out? Unlikely but what do you think



    And other notable mentions in the past like Nunn, Eubank, Kalambay. Graham, Hagler, Mugabi, Jackson....etc...

    Older one's in Tiger, Monzon, Giardello and many others.

    It's impossible to know because GGG won't step up his competition.

    I think some would beat him, but he might beat others. I've never seen him have to fight at a very fast pace and constantly get chin checked like these boys could do. Besides all these folks fought in weight classes above middleweight and are naturally bigger.

    Most of them beat him imo. Best career win to dates probably Martin Murray. Golvokin very very good but he looks too hitable for me considering who he's fought. I think the hype trains behind him atm personally. How can you compare him to guys like hagler. Even McClellan Benn and Jackson were wiping guys out in worse fashion than anything Golvokins done so far. Just a top fighter in a weak division imo. Ward would beat him. Hitable considering the opposition he's faced regardless if he's opened himself up to draw it in. Stamina looks like it might not be as great as his other attributes plus doesn't appear to like the body shot too well. Obviously a very talented fighter tho. The bigger guys at 168 will give him problems if he chooses to move up. Plus think he won't have it completely his own way against canelo and cotto.

    GGG would "McClellan" McClellan worse than Benn did.

    McClellan, Hopkins, Jones and Hagler would be superb fights.

    steady on, 3G has stopped geale as his peak achievement, that's no reason to claim he can beat atgs, far from it.

    All of the above mentioned in their careers have fought brawlers, defensive specialists, bombers, elite boxer punchers, granite chins bruisers and speedsters and your simple answer is "all get knocked out?" Please log off forever and never return sir.
