Comments Thread For: Macklin: I’m Bigger, Stronger Than Guys Golovkin Beat

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Matthew Macklin says that Gennady Golovkin has looked impressive in knocking out nearly everyone who’s come before him — but he says that those who have faced Golovkin had neither the size nor the power they needed.

“The guys he’s been walking through are 154-pounders. I’m a strong, big-punching 160-pounder,” Macklin said on a June 19 media conference call in advance of the bout, which is taking place on June 29 at MGM Grand Theater at Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket, Conn. [Click Here To Read More]

Can't wait for this fight!!! Hope Macklin can pull off the upset.

I'm afraid Macklin, a fine broth of a lad, is going to be in for a rude awakening when he is pounded into submission within 6 rounds.

Macklin will be game but will be beaten down badly i feel,i would like to see GGG in with a big middleweight that can box like Barker or Murray

Yeah cuz all Golovkin has beaten are European and Japanese Bums and faded contenders like you Macklin...

"If it wasn't for the amateur pedigree..."

That's just it though. He's not some hypejob. He has a ridiculous amateur background, on top of that neutralizing power.

Macklin is getting stopped.

and Macklin has never faced anyone with the punching power Golovkin has.

Lucien Bute is bigger and stronger than Macklin and Gennady KO'd him in 4.
