Who had more power in their prime? Thomas Hearns or Gennady Golovkin?

    Damn! To hear you say it one would think G was either making salsa or marinara with all them tomatos. Although G's resume may get critisized, I still believe he can bang with the best.

    To think, I thought the Jheri curl was the dumbest looking hair style. Now I'm a big baldy. SMH

    We really don't have to go through this again, but I will make it brief. When Canelo was a 154 lb. Champ, like against Trout, he came in fight night at 174lbs. So he mostly came in fight night at 172 to 174lbs. GGG would come in fight night at 170lbs the most ever was 173lbs, as a middleweight. Canelo was as big or bigger than GGG. Canelo was beating on guys like Josecito Lopez, Mathew Hatton, Lovemore Ndoe, Aphonso Gomez, just to name a few. Floyd was the right size but Canelo couldn't handle him. Then you have Cotto. The ironic thing is Canelo groupies like to claim GGG fights smaller guys. Even look at the photo of GGG and Canelo flexing after sparring 10 years ago, Canelo looked bigger even then.

    GGG makes salsa out of legit but mediocre contenders, just like Hearns would.

    Agreed. G did what he had to against the opposition that was presented to him.
