Could Gennady Golovkin beat Sergey Kovalev?

golovtards seriously getting butthurt. before tonight they all said kovie smashes GGG, now its oh no kov is too old, GGG kills him.

GGG already bust his ass

GGG doesn't move his head or have defense. He'd be there for the right hand. Kovalev would tee off on him

that is exactly what I am telling guys on the other thread also... add in " punishing " the exact same thing happened to Canelo's last 4 opponents... but, Kovalev old doe smh these guys still have no idea why Golovkin " forgot " to work the body Well,Kov is old! He’s 36 with some tough fights under his belt plus just recently came from a very tough round where he nearly got stopped! A prime Kovalev would’ve beaten Canelo and likely knock him out! But this is still an impressive feat for Canelo due to the fact he moved up 2 divisions with no catch weight or tune up in that weight class and fought the #2 champ/man at 175 and knocked him out! It’s a helluva feather for Canelo who has the best resume in boxing and will go down as a legend when he hangs it up! I thought Kov would knock him out but it seems he still didn’t fully recover from his last fight as he fought moreso to defend himself and not to necessarily get Canelo outta there knowing he won’t win a decision! Props to Canelo though for proving me wrong and claiming the pound for pound number one spot! This win is better than what anyone has! Beating Jacobs to unify majority of middleweight belts and knocking out Kovalev at 175 no catch weight makes him fighter of the year and a knockout of the year too! Hopefully he fights a prime guy next year, Beterbiev, Bivol, Callum Smith, Saunders, Andrade or Mall Charlo!

Are you kidding me? Golovkin could’ve fought Kovalev but instead let his loudmouth ignorant trainer Abel “Black fighters don’t sell” Sanchez talk big game that Golovkin couldn’t back up when it mattered! People don’t understand that Canelo is so sharp with his counters and really smart that whenever Kov tried to open up strong he would get countered with 3 big shots to top an bottom! that is exactly what I am telling guys on the other thread also... add in " punishing " the exact same thing happened to Canelo's last 4 opponents... but, Kovalev old doe smh these guys still have no idea why Golovkin " forgot " to work the body

i believe GGG could've but he didn't so it doesn't matter, canelo is superior to GGG sorry to say

correction ggg beat canelo in most of white people eyes,latinos black people an asians feel canelo beat ggg twice,,,white people its not the most in real world Nice to see the non pink people of the world all speak with a united voice at last. When did you get elected?

His team should've fixed his alcohol problem long ago. I'm sure he's started realising the severe debilitating effect alcoholism and pro boxing combined have on the body. Absolute stupidity. He got his big cheque so it's time to retire. He'll cop a devastating beatdown if he gets in the ring with Beterbiev. It may not be too severe because it wouldn't be surprising if Kovalev was KO'd as soon as he gets caught from the first decent punch that Beterbiev throws.

His fights vs Pascal were just beautiful.

I didn't think he would beat him back then but now many fighters could beat Kovalev.

Golovkin could beat Kovalev if he outlasts him, which isn't a far-fetched idea. But he'll have the same problems that Canelo was having with Kovalev while Kovalev still has his stamina , in the early rounds. Also have to take into account that GGG isn't a spring chicken anymore also.

What a shame. My dream years ago was Beterbiev vs Kovalev (killer instinct version) :crying::crying: I hate seeing elite fighters break down with age. It's so hard to watch.

Better question would be, can Jacobs beat Krusher at 175?

GGG is Fantasy Fight P4P GOAT. He wins all of them, 147-175. He also way past his prime every time he steps up. Truly amazing. This. GGG washes through Kovalev prime vs prime. And I'd bet my money he'd beat Canelo too.. But I'm not sure Canelo is at his prime... something tells me he's going to get even better these next couple years and we all get to witness it :boxing::boxing:

This. How many fantasy fights has Golovkin had and won on this forum? Canelo is out here making history knocking out the #2 ranked LHW while GGG is fighting Szreremata... GGG is Fantasy Fight P4P GOAT. He wins all of them, 147-175. He also way past his prime every time he steps up. Truly amazing.

Kovalev beats Golovkin and likely stops him Golovkin is not sharp/punishing, and he has poor defence he does not have Saul's head-movement/reflexes, and would be a much easier target Plodkin would eat every jab, and start to pizza-face by about the 6th when they fought, we all saw that Canelo is much more skilled/well-rounded than Golovkin... which is why he was about to beat the much larger Kovalev... Golovkin does not have any of those advantages

I cant see Kov beating any version of GGG the way he should fought. I hope Kov retires b4 he gets hurt

Yep. Kovalev has lost his punch resistance and has been eyeing retirement for a while now. There is no killer instinct left in him. What a shame. My dream years ago was Beterbiev vs Kovalev (killer instinct version) :crying::crying: I hate seeing elite fighters break down with age. It's so hard to watch.

Why would I be talking about prime GGG? Current GGG versus current Kovalev?! Right. Maybe Kovalev would throw with more conviction against GGG who shows little defence. I could see GGG winning while making it hard for himself as usual.
