Which one of these guys give GGG the toughest & closest fight? And, would you pick any one of those to beat him?
Saul Canelo Alvarez
Erislandy Lara
Billy Jo Saunders
Chris Eubank Jr
Daniel Jacobs
Peter Quillin
I am gonna go with Lara because of the movement. Jacobs get piroged, Saunders gets Gealed. Canelo gets Lemeiuexed. Quillin gets Monroed. Eubanks gets Waded.
i think Lara gets Monroed.. Jacob might get Piroged again but not before giving GGG a tough fight.
Lara's movement won't help him in this fight.
Canelo with his ability to counter and good head movement will present a problem because GGG cuts off the ring well but he doesnt always work on the inside and gets tagged. Lesser fighters had success at mid range and inside and canelo will counter his jab
??? Who??? Who had any success at midrange or inside with GGG??? You mean someone managed to land a punch, two at most and not together, right?

Jacobs without a doubt.
He has the ability to KO GGG. If that doesn't work, GGG will at least respect Jacobs power and keep his distance. From there, Jacobs has the ability to outbox GGG as long as he isn't caught with anything big of course.Jacobs gets Piroged again
I think there all good fights accept for Lara he gets beat fairly handily. Billy joe is an interesting fight if he could make golovkin miss in range but I don't know if he'd have the heart to keep fighting after being clipped Jr could make it messy
BTW, Tom Loeffler himself says Jacobs is a bigger threat to GGG than Canelo.
I think he's just trying to give Jacobs some confidence to step up. Jacobs simply won't be able to handle Golovkin's power. All of those fighters get knocked out...Canelo is the only one with a chance to tag Golovkin a little bit, in my opinion.
Danny Jacobs would be the toughest, Jacobs has speed, has power and a very good boxing ability. He did lose to Pirog but honestly that was a weird fight, i thought he was winning until he got caught by the crafty Russian.
i think Daniel Jacobs beats all the other fighters on the list.Jacobs looked great knocking out Quillin in the blink of an eye. What a vicious finish he put on Quillin. I would never bet against Kovalev. That's a good way to lose money.
It's pretty obvious GGG steamrolls over all of them.
Lara: No chin, might cause problems early but will get stopped. Angulo had this dude trapped and on the canvas twice.
Canelo: I voted for Canelo cause of his youth and strength. Plus his counter punching combination style would probably be effective against an aggressor like GGG. His stamina is a real problem though and would probably get broken down late.
Billy Jo: Like lara might cause problems early cause of his awkward style and solid boxing skills. But isnt all that great in any one department and doesnt have the power to keep GGG off and would probably get KOd early.
Eubank Jr: Way too green at this stage, might be an interesting fight down the line. Losing to Billy Jo doesnt say much for him.
Daniel Jacobs: Good fight but probably gets Kod early with his suspect chin.
Quillin: Stopped early another suspect chin.
He will knock them all out in my opinion although Canelo's great chin might let him finish the whole fight. I voted Canelo would be the hardest fight for GGG. Canelo has fast hands and he can box, punch hard with both hands in accurate combos, and take a punch. Lara doesn't have enough power to bother GGG and he will run away far too much to win on points. I think Lara would be his third hardest fight. Jacobs doesn't take a punch that well as being dropped by light hitter Mora and KOed by Pirog showed. Jacabs is fast, skillful, a very good puncher and a great finisher. I think he is the 2nd most dangerous fight for GGG. Saunders would be the 4th hardest fight for GGG. Saunders is a very good all around fighter. I give Eubanks very little chance to beat GGG and Quillen even less chance to win.
Danny Jacobs would be the toughest, Jacobs has speed, has power and a very good boxing ability. He did lose to Pirog but honestly that was a weird fight, i thought he was winning until he got caught by the crafty Russian.

Someone who have a punchers chance. So gonna go with Jacobs. How come these guys don't fight each other. Are they holding on to their record and hoping for a canelo fight?
Kovalev flattened bhop! :boxing:
Krusher went easy on the old man. had too much respect for the guy
he only got serious in the last round after Hopkins started dicking around
end result: the worst asswhooping in Bhop's life in just 3 minutes
I think Lara would be the most difficult. I think stylistically he would be difficult for GGG but I see GGG's pressure being too much and catching up to Lara in the end. BJS is a decent fighter, good footwork etc but has real question marks in regards to Stamina. he often gets tired late on and against someone like GGG this would be very dangerous.
None of these matches would be tough for GGG
GGG flattens all of them
they're not on his level, nobody from 154-168 is
really, GGG is so superior to these chumps is not even funny
and by chumps, I mean compared to GGG ofc
these guys are world class fighters, but compared to GGG they are just that: chumps, bums and no hopers
Canelo would be the most competitive of the bunch
Lara is probably the only one who goes the distance and loses by UD, for running for his life like a ***** for 12 rounds
The rest of them get brutally stopped, some of them maybe stretchered
Jacobs without a doubt.
He has the ability to KO GGG. If that doesn't work, GGG will at least respect Jacobs power and keep his distance. From there, Jacobs has the ability to outbox GGG as long as he isn't caught with anything big of course.
I'm not getting your thing with Jacobs, I respect that you're clearly genuine about it, and I think he's a good MW, but I don't really see him as any better than the rest of the pack and stylistically I don't think Golovkin is good for him at all.
BJS is the one who gives him the most problems IMO though Canelo's not far off (in fact the two have a number of similarities in the way they fight). Lara would do a good job of avoiding and pot-shotting GGG.... for a while, but Jacobs engages too recklessly IMO which could quickly land him in trouble.
Neither Eubank or Quillin are easy fights by any stretch, but to me both are pretty one dimensional and on a level a little below the fighters already mentioned.
