Reality Check about GGG at SMW.

He wouldn't steamroll the top SMW's but he could beat any of them on his day and they would be more likely to be actual fights instead of the one sided beatings he has been handing out at MW.

I could see GGG ending up like Froch at SMW. Having some close fights, some wars and possibly some losses but overall being successful at the weight. I think GGG has a better chance of beating Ward than Froch ever did.

Based on what? Golovkin would have disadvantages in virtually everything but power (and his power is unproven at 168) whereas Froch was taller than Ward, had bigger reach and couldn't be physically overwhelmed. How exactly is Golovkin ever gonna beat Ward? Outbox him? Yeah, good luck with that.

Because he is technically superior to Froch. Imo skill and boxing brain > length.

Even if the power doesn't carry up to a higher weight, his skills will

I thought Geale may have had a chance I went out on a limb and the limb broke. GGG is unbeatable at middleweight there is no one who is a credible threat to him currently. Cotto and Canelo would be beaten to a pulp, neither would stand a chance. He can stay there and try to unify but I can't imagine after his destruction of Geale, Cotto or Quillen will even consider fighting him, and no one cares enough about 40yo Soliman to make that fight, he has no fanbase whatsoever outside of Australia, it would be a finacial dud, but it would get him an easy belt.

He can stay there and get some fights that could make him money like Kirkland who would be stopped in one round, Lemieux would be fun while it lasted, Rubio could possibly go the distance but nobody gives a ****. Angulo and his body work almost stopped Lara, the way GGG cuts off the ring and his body shots, it would be a walk in the park for GGG.
Korobov is not yet skilled enough to be a credible challenge. Murray blew all his unearned goodwill after his decent showing against Maravilla, but a shot Martinez hurt Murray, GGG destroys him.

Gennady Golovkin is a monster at middleweight, but the middleweight division is relatively weak.

Super Middleweight is NOT
Geale, Adama, Macklin, Proksa, Stevens, are all good fighters that are on the same level with Periban, Sjekloca, Love, Stieglitz and Edwin Rodriguez, which are the weaker top contenders at SMW. The top of the MW division is on par with mid-level SMW's.

Everyone is really high on GGG with good reason, but they need to get a grip, Andre Ward and Carl Froch are top P4P for a reason they are very hard to beat, GGG will not steamroll them and anyone who thinks that he will are buying the hype a little too much and deluding themselves.

Chavez Jr, Bika, Groves, Kessler, both Dirrells, Degale, Abraham all pose a serious threat to GGG and stylistic challenges, as well as Chudinov, Callum Smith, and Gilberto Ramirez, are potential future threats.

The Geale win was real good but Geale is no Ward or Froch.

After the Murray fight I feel even more confident I have Golovkin evaluated properly.
