    The chance is absolutely there. It will be a good fight as long as Macklin can stay away and box.

      Blood is hard to wash out.

        Macklin's ass is about to be beat.

        And i'm kinda disappointed. I was hoping he and Lee would face off while they were still reasonable fresh. Maybe after.

          There's always a chance but I think he gets the beating of his life. I like Macklin but I just think he gets outgunned.

            The fight will go down the same way as Martinez v Macklin.

              Macklin came out with a good game plan against Martinez, but Martinez adapted. I feel that GGG's style should be easiler to "solve" planning-wise, but execution is questionable just because of GGG's power factor. I think the real question, style/gameplan aside, is whether Macklin's chin is good enough or if GGG's power is as real as we've hyped it up to be. Macklin managed to take some solid shots from Sergio before wearing out, and GGG's last few opponents were never known for having solid chins (maybe heart, but not chin).

                Wow, no Ray and Matthed in here....it somehow doesn't feel right yet.

                Macklin will get smoked by GGG, he is all wrong stylistically for him.

                  More interesting imo is how Golovkin reacts to Macklin's power.

                    of course there's a chance, my prediction though is GGG by mid-round KO

                      You think Macklin hits harder than Proksa?

                      I think they're about the same. Proksa might even hit harder.
