Those who will give GGG issues are the defensive-minded/agile/evasive boxers. Martinez is evasive, but his reflexes are diminishing and dropping your hands against 3G is definitely the wrong thing to do.
I think GGG would be too small for 168.
Not at all unbeatable but I wouldn't pick anyone at 160 to beat him. Quillin is too easy to hit although he has shown to have a good chin, and Martinez is done.
At 160, I think only Martinez could give him trouble...at 168 it gets interesting, I don't think he would beat Ward...Froch would be interesting as well...
I think he is the best fighter at 160 and could beat all the bigger guys at 168. Nobody is unbeatable but to me he is the best until proven otherwise. Any fighter could have a bad night against a tough opponent and lose or get robbed by the judges of a fight they really won. He is fighting a very good fighter this weekend. This is the best fighter that has had the courage to fight him. This fight should tell more about him. If he loses or even has a very hard fight then maybe he is not the best. If he wins with ease over the guy that gave Martinez and Strum so much trouble then he is the best.
golovkin would not beat ward. not from what ive seen. horrible matchup for him style wise. and im not sure id favor him over froch either. very easily a 50/50 fight

This is crazy. He can beat Ward?
Brawlers always look unbeatable when they are in the stage of their career where they are overwhelming overmatched competition.
Remember when Lacy was favored over Calzaghe? Or when Rios was unbeatable at 135? Zappavigna favored over Vazquez, Lemieux favored over Marco Antonio Rubio... I can go on and on. I am guessing this has been going on as long as boxing has been around. Notice that the guys I listed were all favorites in fights in which they either got straight schooled by a superior boxer or simply steamrolled by a more rugged fighter.
GGG could be the best middleweight in the world. I don't disagree. He is definitely being avoided. Let's wait until he's put up some good wins before we start talking about him as a pound for pound fighter though.
A lot of knockout artists look unbeatable, right up until they get beat.
