Out of pavlik, Taylor, wright, Miranda, and Abraham
I got pavlik by ko
Taylor by close Dec or ggg ko
Wright by sd
Ggg by ko over Miranda
And ggg vs Abraham a toss up
Who ya got?
Lol at Pavlik too skilled
It's a figure of speech. Pavlik's size/skill ratio makes a difference he wasn't just a big middle. He could box, let's not pretend he couldnt because he lost to Bernard and Sergio. Great jab and sense of distance in relation to everything else he brought to the table, specifically size and power. I need to see more out of GGG before I can just say he would walk face first into Pavliks jab and right hand and run him out the ring without ever being stopped in his track by either. There's no shame in losing to that version of Sergio or Bhop who fight nothing like Ggg. I wouldnt dare pick GGG over those two at this stage in his career either...
And yeah Pavlik did NOT have a questionable chin.
Wright wouldn't be doing anything to bother GGG. Cover up guard and jab? Horrible gameplan against a puncher with skill. Wouldn't be surprised if Winky got stopped.
Taylor would start off ok but get KO'd eventually. Pavlik would be a war for a while but eventually Kelly would be knocked into submission. Miranda KO'd early. Abraham would get outworked/boxed and busted up from his guard.
Golovkin ko's Taylor and Miranda.
He loses to Wright by decision.
Pavlik and Abraham fights are tough imo.
I'd give the clear edge to GGG against Abraham. Both have similar power but GGG simply throws more and cuts the ring off better. GGG by decision.
Pavlik is a pick em fight to me. Pavlik was taller, had as much power and had a strong jab to fight behind with. The fight would be a war but I'd give the slight edge to GGG by decision. Kellly had a good chin so he wont get kod but GGG is more skilled by attacking the body and cutting off the ring better.
And since when pavliks chin questionable? He's fought and taken big shots from Miranda, Taylor, Hopkins, Rubio, and Martinez. And was only dropped once. Safe to.say his chin was granite
He was dropped by Zuniga too
Ridiculous picks, especially GGG vs Abe being a toss-up. GGG beats them all.
Pavlik had a pretty questionable chin, and wouldn't be able to take GGG's power as well as GGG could take his.
Taylor's footwork was often all over the place, and given the way he kept backing himself into the ropes, I doubt GGG would have trouble landing on him.
As for Abe... easy work. He was/is practically GGG minus the offensive polish and the ability to cut off the ring.
P.S. today's MW division is weak, but not THAT weak, and the MWs from 5-10 years ago weren't demi-gods. Even a guy like Geale would hold his own against the likes of Taylor and Pavlik, and I would pick him to beat Abe.

Winky was not at his best at MW. Neither was Tito before you throw him at me.
He went tooth and nail with Taylor. I think GGG beats him. It could go 12.

Hell no, geale? I like the guy but he would've been.ko d be everyone except wright. And ggg has never faced a world class puncher before. I know some ppl will say Stevens but he's never kod anyone world class just journeyman and ESPN undercard fighters
Winky seems like the only toss up (as in the one Im unsure of). Taylor nost likely will be "winning" the first half of the fight but i dont know after that.. Might get Kod. Miranda KOd though I'd love to see GGG's chin tested by THAT kind of power. Abraham was no scrub at 160! People forget. GGG isnt going to jab him out of the ring... Probably still f ucks him up but its interesting while it lasts. Abraham had good power. Great fight.
Pavlik wins. Maybe not by KO but he wins. Too big, too strong, too skilled, and hit too hard for the GGG we've seen SO far. Although in a few fights GGG might close ground and surpass Pavlik imo

Taylor was one of those guys who just couldn't handle the pressure, he was going wild and expending all his energy. It's tough fight early but it's just matter of time when GGG finally breaks him.
Miranda wasn't very good, GGG would bully him the way Pavlik did and knock him out.
Abraham is very easy for Golovkin as well. He could keep him at the end of his punches like Froch did, or break him through his guard like Miranda almost did the first time they fought.
Pavlik is tricky one, because he was strong as hell, he wouldn't take a step back. He would be first most of the time and I see him pushing Golovkin back. 50/50 fight here.
Wright.. I think he could win close decision by being first, also, but he would have to walk through hell to do it. That would be serious war I think.

I think he beats them all..close fight with Winky, who wouldn't offer much in the way of offense so I think Winky would just get outworked.
Taylor would obviously gas late and get KO'd.
I think the Pavlik fight depends on GGG's chin, which we know is decent, but we don't know how good it is.
Miranda KO'ed, And Abraham beaten to a stoppage.
Oh and Sturm, who you didn't mention, was Mayweathering the whole division at the time...there was a good 2-3 year period where he shamelessly and blatantly ducked GGG. He'd get KTFO.
