      B-Hop out points him. This guy triple G wasn't good enough to win Olympic gold. He doesn't have the skills Hopkins has.

          you're acting like qualifying for the olympics alone is an easy task.

            It would end up like Malignaggi-Porter with Hopkins getting battered. Golovkin is just too great, too powerful. He can box and throws some vicious combinations to the head and body, even his jab stuns you. Easy work.

              He won an Olympic silver and World Championship gold. World Championship is harder because of the seeding and some other factors.

                I dont know if golovkin has the skills to beat hopkins on the inside, if hopkins can lower golovkins activity enough and fight him in spurts on the inside then hopkins wins. I would pick hopkins if i had to choose right now but golovkin might break him down late.

                  Hopkins underrated alien punching power makes this fight interesting. However, he started so SLOW against Shumenov; I think he would need to start off fast. He claims to be a 15 round fighter, but he literally didn't have to do anything to win that fight.

                  I favor GGG 70-30 at this point, subjec to change based on how he looks at 160 vs. jcc.

                    That is if he touches Hopkins.
