Could Crawford have beaten GGG as well at 168?

    imagine what a prime GGG wouldve done?
    Prime GGG was losing to Kell Brook in the scorecards btw.

    Dude had nothing except being an unrelenting pressure puncher like Spence or Margarito. But he's a lil bit more calculated. He has a better chin than both for sure.

        Golovkin. Golovkin hits a hell of a lot harder than Canelo. Golovkin also has a jab and a damn good one. With a jab, you can get your opponent to stop dancing around as much. It's how Golovkin was good (part of the reason) at cutting off the ring. He was able to cut the ring off better than just about anyone. Canelo has notoriously struggled to cut the ring off while Golovkin was a master at it. You combine that with crushing punch power, and I don't see Crawford winning it.

          I watched that fight, and those scorecards were a joke. Golovkin steamrolled Brook. Go watch that fight and tell me how those judges look.

With extreme accuracy
            GGG was past his prime when he fought Jacobs. That fight in my opinion marked the turning point where he was on the decline

              GGG was excellent at maintaining distance so think he would've neutralised about 40% of Bud's offence that way. It would've been a close fight, similar to the Madrimov fight with GGG winning by 1 or 2 rounds or a possible knockdown.

                Not true - GGG had great balance and was a highly technical fighter. Also an exert in cutting off the ring and maintaining distance

                    No, probably not.

                    Canelo fights like he is wearing concrete wellies and has no jab, he has neglected his skills for years and just loads up the same power punches with no set up.

                    A prime GGG is a whole different kettle of fish.
