    Golovkin wil probably unify very soon and as we've seen with the Murray fight, SMW is wide open for him as well...

    Golovkin, I believe. Tszyu is ahead of him now, in terms of big wins and accomplishments, but not by much. They are very similar fighters in terms of ability, though GGG seems to be a little bit mentally tougher.

    Tyszu will be a tough win for GGG....We'll see what happens. But i can agree with your statement, though i think Tyszu will be greater.

    Ggg. Tszyu was a highly skilled, flat footed counterpuncher with heavy, heavy hands, but he also lacked defense, speed, and like many counterpunchers, very conservative with his punch output. Had a great.check left hook before Floyd. I think Ggg has all those things and then some. Great pressure fighter, counterpuncher, underrated boxer/puncher with a great jab, and of course, great power. I think he's more versatile than Tszyu. More potential to do more. Tszyu is a high order, tho. Considered the best 140lber of the last 20 yrs or so.
