    I don't care who you are. GGG knocks everyone out from 154 down. The only guy who has a decent chance is Lara, that's it. Everyone is looking at a short night.

    Pac - Forget it. Too small, way too small. Pac may be fast, but he'd get cornered and KO'ed.
    Floyd - Too much pressure. A single crushing body shot when Floyd is on the ropes would take him out.
    Canelo - Stamina not good enough. He could look good for 3 rounds before getting punished.
    Lara - The best chance of the lot, but he didn't stand up to Angulo's pressure very well.

    Everyone else - Brutal KO.

    GGG's pressure is too much and his ability to cut off the ring is too good. He need to get back in the ring ASAP.

    With the Chavez Jr. fight not happening, I expect GGG to wait for the winner of Cotto-Martinez or simply move up and find another opponent at 168.

    to be fair i can understand why no one below 160 wants any part of GGG. and i know the whole 160 division is basically doing everything they can toavoid the fight

    but when GGG said hed fight anyone from 154 to 168 he blatantly went back on that when ward exposed him and even recently george groves said hed love to fight GGG (after froch obviously). i mean i understand he jumping to 168 is a big deal but dont say you will do it if you dont plan on backing it up

    He was moving up to 168 until the Chavez fight fell through.

    I'm giving GGG a pass on Ward until Ward get his promotional situation sorted out. The fight is not going to happen and Goosen won't make it as long as Ward is suing him.

    I hope he fights Groves if he beats Froch. GGG would be crazy enough to take that fight.

    yeh but atleast if he moves to 168 he can fight the same level of compition and atleast get alot more credit because his a 160 fighter. chavez would have been a good test.. but bob arum strikes again

    I wouldn't write Floyd off against GGG, even at 160.
    If anyone could use Golovkins weaknesses against him - it would be Floyd.

    Size wise Alvarez wouldn't be out of his depth.
    I think Canelo would do fairly well, but he'd be found out from 8-12.
