    Jacobs is huge compared to Leonard at 160.

    Too much nostalgia on this thread. He beats Hearns, Leonard, and Duran, but loses (in a trilogy) to Hagler. Leonard, Hearns, and Duran are too small. Leonard struggled against a past-prime Hagler, what do you think a Prime GGG would do to him? Hearns lost twice to Barkley who is much lesser than GGG, and Duran is just too damn small, he would be stopped in the later rounds.

    If anything it's you seriously overrating Golovkin. Remind me again what's his best win ? A razor thin decision vs Daniel Jacobs ? Another razor thin decision vs Derevyanchenko ?

    Isn't it a coincidence when Golovkin stepped up to the next level he looked beatable ? Yet your so confident he beats 3 ATG's ? Who are way above anyone Golovkin ever beat ?

    Let's not sit here and act like the left and didn't beat canelo the first two times Plus weight classes matter there's a reason why Leonard waited to fight hagler when he was almost out the door

    Is Canelo a great Middleweight ? Wasn't he moving up from Jr Middleweight recently ? Golovkin was the bigger man and couldn't convincingly beat an equally skilled fighter in 3 fights. And no Canelo won the 2nd fight end of.

    Leonard had not fought in 3 years and was fighting at a weightclass he never fought at ?

    That Canelo beats Hearns, Duran, and Leonard. Weight classes exist for a reason

    If you think he beats Hearns you clearly haven’t watched or simply can’t comprehend the greatness of Thomas Hearns.

    Duran went 15 competitive rounds with Hagler, could Canelo go 15 rounds with Hagler with his suspect stamina ?

    An old Mayweather schooled Canelo yet your confident he beats a highly skilled speedster like Leonard ?

    Has Canelo ever beat anyone with Hearns's attributes ?

    Or maybe you clearly haven't watched watched or simply can't comprehend Hearns getting knocked out and dropped by lesser aggressive fighters at the middleweights such as Barkley or James Kinchen.

    Hearns was definitely greater on the all time rankings no question, but Golovkin in his prime was proficient at cutting down the ring and bluntly grinding down opponents and his chin is titanium

    It's simply a bad matchup imo. Not much else to say
