    Uh, just where did I write that GGG was unbeatable:patsch? I didn't realize you had to be 'unbeatable' to beat ODLH and Tito at middleweight:patsch

    I agree about Tito, probably similar to the Lemiuex fight, but BHop was 181 lbs vs Oscar and Oscar still hung in there til his body gave out.

    Hell.....Oscar, TODAY, would last more than 3.
    He's cagey, and a much better CPer than he was ever credited for.

    Prime Oscar lasts 8-10.
    Current Oscar....4th rd, RTD, but no KDs.

    You out of all boxing fans should know size doesn't always matter, but you probably don't even know whatyou're watching when you're watching a fight.

    Fighters like Pacquiao, Mayweather, DLH, Trinidad, Duran, Leonard, Armstrong, Pep, RJJ, Toney etc could be at a clear size and strength disadvantage and still prevail.

    From that list only Duran moved up in weight to handle a prime beast like GGG.

    Cotto is not GGG. Joppy is not GGG. Ruiz is not GGG.

    I didn't realize De La Hoya beating Golovkin at 160 was entirely impossible either:hey

    It's about as probable as me winning the lottery tomorrow. GGG is too big and destroys the undersized and skinny DLH.

    Do you HONESTLY believe that ODLH beats GGG? Honestly?

    I think DLH is his favorite fighter. Which is great, DLH is a legend and a warrior. But he's got no business at 160.

    "He gets beat by Shane struggles with Sturm, and he's supposed to beat GGG?" I didn't know Oscar beating Golovkin was entirely impossible.:conf

    What makes you think GGG can beat Oscar at 160? The defeats of Wade, Monroe, macklin, Murray, Geale, Rosado, Rubio, Ishida, Lemieux, Ouma, adamu, Stevens, are supposed to convince me that Oscar beating GGG is just wishful thinking?

    GGG doesn't have the skillset to hang with someone like Oscar. Who do you think GGG is, Hopkins? :lol:

    Please, GGG won't even consider fighting a fighter like Canelo at a CW.

    Hopkins is much bigger than GGG as well.

    GGG < Hopkins and up until Oscar got KO the fight was very competitive with Oscar either winning or the fight being even like it was on my card.
