Was Golovkin Canelos toughest fight?

Kelly Pavlik in an interview with Joe Rogan said the two fights with Golovkin may have taken a lot out of Canelo because of the hard punches he took in the two fights. Ditto for Golovkin.

Toughest “win” yes. Toughest fight is obviously the loss to Floyd

Look I know people debate over GGG Canelo..but people do know a prime Gennady Golovkin would have killed Canelo at middleweight? And I don't like either guy that much at all, but Canelo is barely beating a 35 year old fighter. I can even break it down how I think Golovkin would win. Pretty much he'd be faster and have better defense. Abel Sanchez ruined Golovkins olympic style for the most part.

Post and discuss:boxing: It was the first time he stepped in the ring against a man who was as talented AND he didn’t have a weight advantage. That’s why his eyes looked so big.

Physically yes but from a technical stand point no. Mayweather frustrated Cabell with his superior skill and I think he was quite embarrassed at the end. On the other hand GGG is the first person to consistently push Cabell back and keep him on the back foot. He looked exhausted at the end of the fight

I would say Mayweather. Floyd schooled him and completely shut him out. The scorecards were ridiculous tho. Hit and dont get hit all night. Canelo landed on everyone hes fought. Didnt land clean on Floyd.

Mayweather by far backed him up and landed big shots over and over Floyd actually bothered him with his shots golovkin didn’t

No, Mayweather was definitely tougher and Lara too because of his movement. GGG didn't do much damage at all. Just a lot of jabs.

Don't remember Canelo taking hard shots against GGG actually the other way around I remember only one hard punch, it was in the 5th round, and that's it

Mayweather by far. He was outclassed there, wasn't the case against Golovkin or anyone. I actually think Lara was his second toughest fight. Canelo landed only like 10-15 head shots ALL FIGHT LONG. That was ridiculous. He didn't have trouble landing against Golovkin, but obviously the pressure and jab of Golovkin were tough for him. 1. Mayweather 2. Lara T3. Golovkin/Trout

Mayweather Trout GGG Lara

Post and discuss:boxing: It was khan until he got KO’d

Has to be the Floyd fight even though he took more hard shots in the GGG fight Don't remember Canelo taking hard shots against GGG actually the other way around

Floyd was by far his toughest fight

Post and discuss:boxing: No. I think Josesito Lopez or possibly Amir Khan were his toughest to date. Loll

The scale he faced right before the Mayweather fight.

ummmmm no..that would be Mayweather

Has to be the Floyd fight even though he took more hard shots in the GGG fight Canelo fans said he was too green for Floyd. Now he is prime and still got beat

Floyd was Canelo's toughest by far. The fact that one scorecard had it a draw still boggles my mind. Ok I can see that. But Floyd just whooped his ass and it was one sided. That score bothered me. I don't like that. It was a shut out

Floyd was Canelo's toughest by far. The fact that one scorecard had it a draw still boggles my mind.
