    The hype surrounding Golovin is huge an the moment and he would be favourite. But in reality I think it's a much closer fight than some would expect. Golovkin has yet to face elite opposition and is regarded as the best at 160lbs due to Martinez's unwillingness to face him rather than anything Golovkin has actually done.

    Canelo is the better boxer, he counters better, has better upper body and head movement, more elusive, better jab and combinations. But of course Golovkin has all that power, question is will he be able to land it on Canelo.

    I think Canelo could pull off the upset, but I have concerns about his stamina especially with GGG's body attack. I could see Golovkin coming from behind and stopping him late.

    You should feel right at home, as you share the same level of intelligence as a tomato can. The resume argument gets old. I'm sure you will praise GGG once he beats top opposition, right, since resume is your only argument against him?

    Wake me when the contracts are signed. Until then, your hero is a protected fighter who feasts on TOMATO CANs...


    Hey **** for brains, Mike Alvarodo was WEIGHT DRAINED in the Provodnokiv fight - which is exactly *why* he lost. It's painfully obvious that YDKSAB.

    Are you that damned stupid?

    WTF does Mayweather Alvarez have to do with the FACT that Alvarado was weight drained for the Provodnikov fight? It was so evident that Stevie Wonder and Ray Charles could see it for what it was on a foggy day.

    Remove your head from your ass and get a CLUE, genius...

    It's Matthysse's losses to Garcia, Juddah and Alexander who are 5 times better than anything GGG's been in the ring with that has got his official KO percentage down. His KO percentage against the level of opposition GGG's fought is even better than his, and it's only Macklin and Parker that make GGG's Opposition SLIGHTLY better than Wilder's

    Oh yes how could I forget, Ali Raymi! 100% KO first round!

    :hi:

    The other guy is still right. Amongst champs, Golovkin's KO ratio is the highest.

    Who the fukk is Parker? :lol:

    Judah and Alexander arent better than a rated MW, just get shown on US TV more often. Most people have a hard time discerning skill from being showcased though.

    Garcia I will say might well be better, but the other two mentioned are just average contenders. GGG also has far greater skills than Lucas.

    Fgs can people start judging GGG once he has actually fought a top fighter, everyone is getting too carried away because he's ko'd B/C level fighters.

    Right now Canelo beats him easily
