Anybody give Macklin a shot of beating GGG?

Is he allowed to bring a baseball bat or a knife to the ring? If not, NO.

Hahahahahaha

If you know anybody who has been in the ring with Macklin personally, believe me the guy is no pushover. People who have sparred with him say he hits as hard as 14 stone+ fighter. I do think GGG will probably stop him though, I dont think GGG is overrated either but as good as Macklin is, he will be stopped, he has not faced anyone with this much power as of yet.

I don't know what Macklin's going to do in this fight. It's going to be hard to box clever against a guy with 345-5 amateur record and more technical ability than Macklin could ever hope to have. On the other hand, the guy hits very hard and has never been dropped, ever.

Ultimately I think Macklin is going to have to trade and he'll almost certainly get broken down as the fight through the middle rounds. Maybe he'll take GGG into deep waters and wear him down, but I don't see it happening.

GGG and Kovalev are extremely overhyped despite not having faced anyone of note thus far in their careers. Don't get me wrong, they are both talented and exciting, and should go far, but I'm not willing to believe they are monsters just yet. Nothing they have done in the ring thus far has impressed me too much.

GGG is a good fighter, could be a great one, however I'll see how he looks this weekend against real competition before I jump on the bandwagon. If he can stop Macklin early, that would be a indicator of his current level of ability and suggest that he's world class.

So martinez is not world class as he didn't stop him early, neither is Sturm because that was a close fight which Macklin won.

I don't understand the logic when it comes to Gennady - the mark is always a bit higher than for the other fighters.

Macklin is one tough man. Look at the war he had with Jamie Moore. I think GGG will beat him however.

[Godsfly]

it'll be one of the easiest ko's ever witnessed............mark my words.

just haven't been impressed with Macklin at all...........

told you so

[damit305]

told you so

Great call, credit given.

[HughJass]

i believe that golovkin catches him early and ko's him , macklin won't be cautious in this fight.

lol , no **** hugh.

[Hougigo]

Lets face it he is the bigger, faster guy. Hes better than anybody GGG has fought by a mile and hits a lot harder. Macklin can go 12 no sweat. Hes been in there with the best!

I always wonder with a guy like GGG if there is a plan B

It wasn't long back Macklin pasted Felix Sturm & gave Sergio who was still near his peak a very tough fight.

Anybody give Macklin a shot?

I ain't broke them down but I've got a good idea what GGG is about.
I guess I shouldn't be but I am surprised to see so many being rather dismissive of Macklin. I hope you understand Matthew Macklin is not a guy will get hit & get on his bike in full survival mode.

Everybody that has fought GGG has been there for a payday, they have, I'm not being harsh on him just telling it how it is, they have fought almost terrified. What will happen when this guy hits Macklin who will hit him back with something a bit more meaningful than a jab as if to say please stop?
What happens if he pushes GGG back?

Awww......come on Dan
