    Saunders which is unfortunate since he doesn't want to fight GGG.

    It comes down to the two fighters who I think would be the toughest "tests" for Triple G and that's Andy Lee, and BJS. But since we're talking styles, I have to go with BJS.

    Agreed.

    I think Andy has maybe almost as good a chance against GGG, but for very different reasons, and style-wise, I think Andy matches up extremely poorly against someone like GGG.

    That's pretty much how I see it too. Lee because of the counter right hook equalizer from hell, and BJ because of his boxing style.

    Saunders.

    Golovkin walks right through Eubank Jr.

    Saunders.

    Eubank Jr and Alvarez although on different levels to each other are pretty much tailor made stylistically. Jacobs and Lee, although different, both have exploitable defensive flaws and leave themselves too open.

    Probably, but that really doesn't answer the question.:deal

    FWIW I think Canelo and Eubank get beaten into submission (TKO - quite likely corner stoppage) whereas Lee and Jacobs are more likely to get sparked. Billie Joe fights the good fight but probably gets broken down late.
