GGG v Provodnikov

[PainfromUkraine]

Fantasy matchup, 2 heavy handed brawlers with great chins, who wins this war?

Will include poll, discuss as a fantasy matchup, which means some elements may be altered, e.g imagining they were same weight etc

Seriously?

Fantasy indeed. Provodnikov would get... I don't want to go there due to the recent tragedies that have happened in the sport recently but you get the idea.

Nobody in the sport today stands a chance against Golovkin. Tyson, if they were at the same weight of course, would be the only one who could stand a chance. Problem with Golovkin is, he boxes just as well as he can beat you up.

Ggg. Too much skill for Provo.

[PainfromUkraine]

Seriously?

Allow me to make myself clear, purely based as a fan-friendly fantasy style matchup, let's say if Provo was a natural middleweight, the clash of styles with Golovkin would be an explosive one to watch, IMO.

provo wouldn't last long. too small.

Both fighters couldn't avoid a punch if they had a weeks notice it was coming. But GGG has a large size advantage and is used to taking middleweight punches. Provodnikov's punches would have little affect on him.

If they were the same weight? Provodnikov would be a savage puncher at MW too. Golovkin doesn't fight going backwards so he'd there to be hit. Good fight.
