    If Porky Medina was able to stay on Degale like a cheap suit, how is Degale going to keep GGG off of him? I know Degale has got skills, but his weakness is the type of pressure that busts pipes and we know G brings that in spades.

    GGG by KO. Degale goes at his own pace and will not like the pressure GGG puts on him.

    That's not how it works. Because I fighter struggled with one fighter does not mean he will struggle with the guy who is perceived to be better than the guy that he struggled with.

    As mentioned Degale has too many flaws to escape GGG wrath.

    Go watch his fights with Rocky Fielding and Halidah Mohoumadi both had never been down before and he knocked them both out in 1 round... aint nothing 'average' about those performances.. Smith is a beast.

    Whereas Degale went the full 12 with Mohoumadi.

    Usually that is the case, but it has to do with styles. Medina brings pressure and was very effective against Degale. GGG brings pressure more effectively than Medina, plus he has plenty of other skills to bring to the table (distance, timing, power, footwork, feints, etc.), which is why I would give him the edge. That said, Degale could fight a much better fight than the one he fought against Medina, who he may have taken lightly. But he will need to fight out of his skin and utilize all of his abilities to avoid the pressure/power of Golovkin and have a chance to win the fight.

    GGG to find a way and not looking particularly good in doing so.
