    I think you need to be able to outdo him on distance and footwork to beat him. GGG doesn't waste much energy moving around the ring so if the game plan is stick and move while moving away, there's a good chance that after 5 or 6 rounds, fatigue could set in. I think the key to beating GGG is a combination of smothering his power and sticking and moving. We don't know his inside game at this point. That's why I would probably only favor Ward or Hopkins against him between 160 and 175. Maybe a big puncher at above him like Froch, Kovalev or Stevenson too, but I'm less sure of that. Mayweather has the skill set to smother his power as well, but is he big enough to do it? Make no mistake about it--GGG is a solid sized middleweight. Strong, makes 160 easily, good height and reach. He's a problem for everyone at 160.

    I'm glad you said GG is a solid sized middleweight....as opposed to all the other guys claiming he's small MW that should really by at 154..lol.

    There isn't a lot at 160....A division where Geale is considered "world class" is a weak division.

    Broner got crucified for fighting in a dead LW class.

    "Time for him to challenge himself"

    "That coward should move up and take some risks"

    If Broner is a coward at 24 after moving from 130 to 147...i hate to see what GG is.

    Cyclone you seem to be blinded, that GGG would not beat Floyd to be honest Mayweather would
    not fight him, remember Floyd hand picks his opponents.
    Floyd in his prime would not fight GGG, the thing is he would get sparked and he no's it, far to
    dangerous and Floyd is not stupid is he.
    You want to be middle Champ, the limit 160lbs not 157 no advantage for the smaller guy all
    this BS, it's Middle weight perhaps we should make new weight for Mr Mayweather, I no
    we can call it Floyd weight, and the only way you can fight Floyd is you Must come in weight
    drained.

    GG isn't stupid either...that's why he's ignoring Andre Ward.

    Ward is the reason GG's trainer stopped saying he'll fight anybody from 154 to 168
    He singlehandedly shut that shit up.


    Unlike Mayweather

    GG has never fought a REIGNING CHAMPION.
    Floyd has been doing that since he was 21.
    Golovkin still has the VACANT title he got off shot to hell Jr MW Kassim Ouma.

    A Golovkin fan looks like a troll trying to insult Floyd's resume.

    Mayweather fights bigger guys in higher divisions
    GG....not so much.....no AT ALL.

    Golovkin will never dare to be great..it's not in his genes.
    He's 32 and still hasn't fought a bigger man..

    Mayweather has been fighting bigger guys since he was 21.

    As an Ethnic Khazak Golovkin is related to the Mongols, direct descendants of the most famous Mongol, Genghis Khan. Fighting and specifically things like World domination and greatness is most definitely in his Genes. The fact that you would never dare to make a single post without mentioning FMJ, or somebodies race, or the hatred of American fighters, suggests that greatness, even in the very small context of this particular boxing forum, will always remain very firmly outside of your own grasp.
