Past-prime GGG against Wright, Tarver, Calzaghe, Pavlik, Pascal

Hard to tell seen as he's a career MW but he'd certainly be a handful for any of them..

 

Tough one to really comment on as we haven't seen GGG above 160 and he may not be as well equipped in terms of style or body type to jump up in weight as Hopkins was (which I assume was the purpose of the question). He also doesn't have the ability to just 'old man' younger fighters out of things by tying up, keeping the action slow and landing a small number of meaningful punches that B-Hop did.

Winky I would say triple G beats, he was past his prime at 36/37 as well by the time Hopkins fought him and though a tough and skilled fighter could be beaten by guys who keep the pressure right on him ala Harry Simon. Tarver I think is just a combination of too big and wrong stylistically for him. Think he beats Pavlik Lemieux style, (though Pavlik>>> Lemiiuex) breaks him down with hard shots behind a careful jab, better jab, better footwork and the power to stop Pavlik mindlessly walking forward at him. But if anyone has the power to dent GGG's iron mandible, it's Kelly. Calzaghe wouldn't hurt GGG as his hands were f***ed by that stage, but has the speed, volume and unorthodoxy to confuse most fighters. Would probably lean towards JC as GGG is unproven at 168. Pascal who knows, the size difference would be significant, but I tend to think GGG is a good enough fighter to overcome it in a tough bout.

 

Wright: WIN UD
Tarver: 175? Wtf. LOSE UD
Calzaghe: LOSE UD BUT WINNABLE
Pavlik: WIN TKO
Pascal: WIN UD

 

Winky Wright is not better than GGG, what wins convinced you of that? GGG had 20 title defenses !!!

 

Winky Wright took on all comers his resume shits on GGG's and he dared to be great unlike GGG. His wins over Tito and Mosley are better than anything GGG ever did. What win does GGG that has you convinced he's better than Wright?

 

Wright although a great fighter, wouldnt withstand GGG. bad style. ggg loses to zaggers only. tarver could give him some problems. at 175lbs tarver would beat him, clear decision obviously.

 

Yeah you're a novice the proof is in when you said PBF isn't a fleet footed fighter in fact you're much worse than a novice it's clear that you don't know **** about boxing. PBF at 130 had some of the best footwork and fastest feet in boxing back then, learn the sport or log off or continued to be embarrassed.
BTW Pascal isn't easy work for GGG like I said earlier it's a 50/50 fight at 168 or 175.
