    Do we immediately throw him in the overrated fraud category? If he can't compete with the best at 168 that makes his entire career a failure to me. Truth is he hasn't fought nobody at middleweight, all C level fighters!

    It will show he isn't the monster some think he is (the people who say there are no challenges for him at 168, he beats them all easily).

    Losing at 168 won't change the fact that he is by far the best in the world at 160.

    The fact we can't name the second best at 160 gives you an idea of how weak the division is.

    IF & its a very big IF anyone @ 168 did KO GGG I would congratulate him because he'd be a hell of a fighter. I don't see anyone @ 168 being capable

    That also doesn't change the fact that he is by far the best guy in that division.

    Why, based on what, what exactly do you see? I reckon there are fighters at 168 that can stop him!

    There are a lot of supermiddleweights I'm sure one of them is a match for Golovkin

  14. Jimmy!

    Jimmy! Guest

    rubio and murray didnt do to bad at 168 guys GGG toyed with and knocked out

    rubio got knocked out by Golovkin in 2 rounds

    rubio moves up and goes 12 rounds with dirrel

    GGG knocks down murray mulitiple times and toyed with him and finnaly stopped him

    Murray moved up to 168 and took groves to the brink and groves had to bring out the reserves

    And you saying GGG will have issues at 168? LOOL

    Stylistically, DeGale has the potential to cause Golovkin problems, but I don't favour anyone else in the division at the minute to really trouble him. People complain about the MW division, personally I think it is ok with some good talent coming through. Besides DeGale, I think SMW is weaker.
