Chavez Jr vs Golovkin

[Ray*]

Saying he would destroy Chavez is another overhyping scenario, 3G takes too many punches himself and I swear he would not take those same punches from a damn crusierweight in Chavez and be standing like he did Ouma or Proksa..

Chavez would get pummeled. His face would be unrecognizable. You thought he looked bad after Martinez, a Golovkin fight would be even worse.

BTW, Chavez sucks. So he knocked down a 37 year old Martinez in the final seconds of the 12 round, a fatigued Martinez who's been floored plenty of times, big whoop. That doesn't make him a good fighter. Chavez has a great chin though, I'll give him that, which is why I believe the corner or the ref would stop the fight after taking so many shots to his destroyed face.

Golovkin spars with actual CW's like Imoesiri, i think he could take Chavez's slightly above averege MW power without much trouble.

After a training/sparring session. I don't know where the original came from.

Could he stand up to punches from Chavez Jr for 10+ rounds? A Chavez Jr that weighs 175-180 on fight night?

people are confusing two entirely different thing here. being bigger doesnt mean ure necessarily stronger. paul williams was bigger than just about everyone he fought from 147-160 yet lara and margarito looked "stronger" than he did

cotto was bigger than pac when they fought but pac looked to be stronger

i can continue this list for days

Just ask the Heavyweights how much their size helped when they fought this Middleweight

True, but it does mean you can take punches much better if you outweigh your opponent by 15-20 pounds. It also means your punches will take their toll much quicker, especially with Chavez's relentless body attack. I don't think it would be smart for anybody to exchange with Chavez Jr in this division.

Chavez didn't stop Zbik/Rubio and they fought his fight. He might be bigger than Golovkin, but it comes at the price of being weight-drained. Chavez's punch resistance is still a question mark imho, and Golovkin is a pretty good body-puncher. We know Chavez can absorb head shots, but his body is a different story. Did you see how he was reacting to Sergio's body shots?

True. But is Golovkin gonna wanna get in close long enough to trade body shots? It would be interesting.

That's exactly why this is one of the best fights that can be made. Their styles complement each other so well to where the fight is bound to break down into a slug-fest. Both guys are coming to hurt one another, but since Golovkin seems to be more accurate and has better punch placement, I'll side with him to get the W. I really hope this happens before September, and then the winner gets Martinez.
