    Remember Arthur Abraham, his power didn't help him at super middle weight
    And that's my concern

    GGG is about the same height as Abraham, but not as solidly built

    People forget easily, but Abraham was considered a real beast, he was favourite to win the super 6, and most thought he would knock froch out, and he got manhandled in that fight and looked so small in there, Abrahams excuse.... "he was just so much bigger than me"

    I can envision a similar situation with Golovkin

      That's because Abraham squares up and quits using his jab through most of his fights, which makes him appear even smaller despite having a good reach. GGG has a great jab and maximizes his reach, uses it extremely well, so he can size up to larger opponents.

        GGG is a special fighter. I'm not sold on him taking out Ward/Froch/Kessler at 168 though.

          I honestly think its Floyd fans(me included) who hate on him. Now don't get me wrong I think of him highly as a fighter and after Quilin's show against Rosado I would have him the clear favourite.

          But...... like you said there these people going on like hes a God and that just pisses you off when HoF's like Pacquiao,Cotto and Marquez are spoken down on so much.

          Then there are the skills argument. This is what pisses me off most.

          You have haters saying "GGG is a face first brawler", but then his fans come in to defend him saying "oh no, he's making small adjustments and is actually very skillful going forward". BUT, when Floyd,Lara,Rigo fans say "look at the subtle skills hes using, making his opponent chase him and miss punches" then the GGG fans go "why won't he stop running".

          It's childish, moronic and hypocritical.

              It's honestly only the "slick" fans that are showing major hatred for GGG. And it comes as no surprise when you look at the other fighters they spend their time hating.
              When you say slick who are you referring to exactly because a lot of fighter you guys on here label as slick are not even slick i even seen shane mosley a brawler but just because he was a brown man he is somehow referred to here as slick lmfao so exactly who are these slick fighters and fans of

                    Doesn't help that GGG's fans are extremely disrespectful to proven fighters. Saying **** like GGG would KO Mayweather and Ward doesn't help either.

                    Listen he is a good fighter and has shown he can dispatch C/D level fighters in impressive fashion but like someone said match someone like Ward/Froch/Kessler ect against those guys and the same would happen.

                    He needs to fight some contenders and Murray is a good test for GGG. Murray is a B fighter and easily the toughest opponent he's had yet.
