    What percentage of light heavies from the past would have stopped GGG and could any champs from the past have dropped GG at 168?

    Nobody can give an accurate percentage, but there's certainly a number of candidates who could have dropped him. Also, he obviously hasn't even fought at those higher weights yet.

    Why people matching GGG with light heavies and super middles the guy is 160 pounder like Hagler never ventured above 160.

    Michael Moorer would have sent his head in to orbit

    It was because there a post asking whether any middle could have dropped GGG and most said no so I thought I`d venture higher.

    Hagler had his legacy secured at 160 that's why he never needed to move up, not the case with ggg.

    He would have had truoble hitting him though GGG`s defense is better than Moorer`s was and his offense is more creative.

    I think that Gerald McClanland and Tommy Hearns would have dropped a prime GGG.

    Antie, I did the LHW thread, you need to move up to CW and HW.

    What kind of a mental ill human being can ask such a idiotic question? Golovkin is a middleweight. What`s the point to ask which higher division fighters could KO a lower division guy. My brain can`t handle this irrationality. You guys asking just pure circus questions. It doesn`t matter who "could" and "should". The only thing that matters is what`s going in real life and only with things that are comparable in terms of happened in reality.

    Would you ask as well which cruiser or heavyweight could KO Kovalev?

    GGG = 160

    By the way, to be a good fighter, you don`t have to go up in weight, when it`s not necessary. 99,9% of all the fighters who go up in weight is because they can`t made the weight anymore. And NOT because they are fearless warrios.

    Stop searching for filmy arguments to discredit certain fighters. When you don`t like the guy, don`t follow him. You guys are more GGG obsessed than the biggest GGG fans.
