Wait, did they say Golovkin gets hit too much and Chavez got power?
Golovkin hits way harder and Chavez gets hit just as much.

Not only that but Rios also said: "Macklin? He's not all that" - look who's talkin'

Chavez would not make it 12 rounds. Both guys are pressure fighters, but 3G can actually box and has a combination of heavy-hands/balance/good punching technique that makes any punch he throws effective. Chavez wants to fight Vera at a SMW catch-weight, he'd be a dead man walking at 160. Can you imagine Chavez walking into jabs and left hooks to the body for 12 rounds?

Chavez Jr. is a pretty easy fight for GGG. Jr. can come in blown up and at CW, and I'd still favor GGG by KO.

Chavez does have real power enough I think to easily gain gggs respect. I would love to see this fight.

Chavez Jr. has a great chin, 12 round stamina and would come into the ring weighing 185 pounds. He would survive GGG's early onslaught and push his weight on GGG. After 5-6 rounds GGG would gas terribly and Chavez will start taking over and possibly stop him. This is a very intriguing fight, I don't see GGG stopping Chavez, but if he did it would have to be in the first 8 rounds. It would be an easy FOTY candidate no doubt.

What a dumbass...Chavez Jr is a bum. GGG murks his lazy ass.

I guess it would depend on how big a factor Chavez's 190 pounds mattered on fight night. I think Golovkin eventually breaks him.

Didn't Sebastian Zbik completely outland Chavez Jr in near enough every round?
Never got seriously troubled and got robbed of a decision.
