The longer the fight goes the more I'd favor Chavez for a stoppage win. It's a toss up with an edge to Jr imo. IF he could take GGG's shots, which I could see happening due to size

And Sergio is different because he can move his feet to avoid early pressure. Golovkin can't get out of the way so they'll just go blow for blow. When he does move he goes straight back. Its a toss up.
Chavez has a better resume than GGG. If fans want to use that as a barometer for how their fight will go, that's cool.
Golovkin cannot and will not approach Chavez like Martinez did. GGG and Chavez operate in the same dimension, so it will just look that much more impressive when GGG gets him outta there. I haven't claimed that GGG/Chavez is a mismatch like Chavez/Martinez was, and that's due to the styles. I will be surprised if Chavez wins though.
ThePunchingBag said that Chavez won't have to worry about movement. Well.....the same can be said in GGG's defense lol.

The Ouma fight for Golovkin looked exactly like the Zbik fight for Chavez.
As a result, I think they both aren't as good inside as they would like to be seeing as how they were both beaten up there by lesser men, but were sturdier and therfore were able to get the job done. If Ouma had GGG's power, I don't think GGG would have won. And for Chavez, well, I still think Zbik won that fight.
It's a good fight, those fights I mentioned show that both men are pretty flawed inside when their opponent is swinging back - I've seen it more than once with Chavez. The Zbik fight and sparring footage with Martirosyan.
I favor GGG for obvious reasons, but I can see Chavez making a dent late with his size and durability.

But it's a good parallel between the 2 fights, looked similar in parts, except the outcome. GGG was wrecking Ouma after round 7, Chavez needed some friendly judging the get him past Zbik.

He doesn't come across as a guy who's mentally affected if his fighter is still in front of him after a certain amount of time. I don't think he'll go in there underestimating Chavez either. Hopefully he doesn't let the hype get to him.

Chavez is big and can take punches. GGG is rather small and we really don't know how he'll react to a hard puncher late in fights. I think a fight with Chavez would be fun to watch but if I were handling Gennady I wouldn't advise him to jump at that fight right away. Take a couple tune ups with big pressure guys then test it. Its more dangerous for him than it is for Chavez who knows what he can take into the late rounds.
