How would Golovkin vs Yildrim have gone?

The fight never would have happened. Golovkin doesn't have the balls to fight at 168 lbs. I honestly think it would be the same outcome but your post is correct. thanks for the lol

Eubank Jr KOd Yildrim 3 years ago in 3 rounds. Dirrell just KOd him. Yildrim is not a good measuring stick for any elite boxer.

Pretty much the same.

More fascinating is would Dervychenko last 12 rounds with Canelo?

30 year old GGG would not have given Yildirim the opportunity to return to his corner after 3 to quit. 38 year old GGG gives him that option.

Yildrim doesn’t look to be much of a mover so I would guess the result would have been similar if Golovkin fought him. Although GGG seems to be more shopworn at this stage, so who knows for sure how it would have went down.

I mean we have seen GGG against this level of competition plenty of times. Assuming his power carries up to 168, this fight wouldn't have lasted much longer. GGG's fights are predictable at this point. If he fights anyone overmatched, he's going to destroy them easily. If he fights a top guy in the division, then he will be in a very exciting dog fight until the end. Against top guys, GGG is pretty much guaranteed to be in a close, competitive fight. You will get your money's worth, that's for sure.

GGG would have actually gotten a KO, instead of word coming in from the Cartels for Yildrim to not come out for the 4th when he was fine.

Could’ve sworn Yildirim fights at 168... Golovkin would have told Yldirim "164 or no fight!" Like he did to Andre Ward.

Probably KO within 5

Why not forgetting about Yildirim altogether and posting about fighters who actually fight?

Probably similar with GGG getting hit a few more times

Exactly the same, except GGG fans would give him credit for the W and call Canelo a coward for not facing the Yildirim destroyer

Yildirim probably a little bit less reluctant to let his hands go because golovkin has slower hands and doesnt have canelos sharp counters. He would still end up getting hurt relatively early because it's just not a good style to be a stationary leaky high guard dude vs golovkin.
