Against HOFers, he'd be B-level. Nothing against him as that's quite an accomplishment. I just don't see the defense or footwork one sees in HOF level boxers. But, he does have the power, instinct, and a few other characteristics that put him on the level of a Vargas, Dawson, Pavlik where he'll look fantastic until he fights top competition. I don't know that Golovkin is ever going to face top comp though.

Name a couple of the good fighters that would beat GGG right now, and fighters that are not fighting 2 weightclasses above him.
I really don't understand how someone could hate GGG. Great roll model, respectful, KO's everyone, and he's a smart guy.
IMHO, I'd still bet GGG over Ward. It's a close fight, we all know Ward's chin is flaky.

Golovkin is a beautiful boxer, can do it all. 345-5 amateur record, superb KO %, and man can he adapt! He picked Lemieux apart not needing to go ham.
Lemieux was tailor made for ggg, very predictable offense and can't handle pressure fighters. His power is also extremely overrated.

Would he still put on dominant performances or would it turn into competitive 8-4, 7-5 type of decisions.
Neither one of them want anything to do with GGG

The bigger question is: Who is willing to step into the ring with him.
If some "great" fighters are ducking him, how can you even call them great? Thats already a sign that GGG would beat them easily to me.

Never the less, two guys who are considered elite fighters for a good while now, are ducking him. If he were all hype, they'd easily fight him and cash in on the pay day. But of course, they are avoiding him. It's easy to see why he is so "hyped" up.
GGG will face great opposition soon and his fights will be more interesting, with similar results, although his KO's might drop a bit.

I mean **** Baduo Jack just got stopped in 1 by a fighter way worst than Rubio or Alcine and some fools on here are claiming he's fighter of the year.

My guess would be that he would do pretty well, but I guess we won't know until he actually does fight someone elite, the Lemieux fight established him as the absolute best middleweight in the world but unfortunatley for him and for us the middleweight division isn't that good at the moment and the big names won't fight him, Canelo will wait 2-3 years till GGG slows down and then take the fight and Cotto will definitley retire without fighting him.
beating unknown 20;1 underdogs won't get GGG the recognition or the P4P status that he might well be deserving of so he has to take risks to earn these things just like all the other great fighters before him.

the GGG haters are so dense they dont even realize they are paying him the highest compliment possible.
According to them, the ONLY fighter who can be even REMOTELY competitive with GGG, or have a chance to win, is a guy 2 divisions up who is considered top 3 p4p.
Thats putting GGG on a pretty high pedestal........
