ggg vs 2006-2007 middleweights

[Evil Abed]

Winky was not at his best at MW. Neither was Tito before you throw him at me.

He went tooth and nail with Taylor. I think GGG beats him. It could go 12.

Ridiculous picks, especially GGG vs Abe being a toss-up. GGG beats them all.

Pavlik had a pretty questionable chin, and wouldn't be able to take GGG's power as well as GGG could take his.

Taylor's footwork was often all over the place, and given the way he kept backing himself into the ropes, I doubt GGG would have trouble landing on him.

As for Abe... easy work. He was/is practically GGG minus the offensive polish and the ability to cut off the ring.

P.S. today's MW division is weak, but not THAT weak, and the MWs from 5-10 years ago weren't demi-gods. Even a guy like Geale would hold his own against the likes of Taylor and Pavlik, and I would pick him to beat Abe.

And since when pavliks chin questionable? He's fought and taken big shots from Miranda, Taylor, Hopkins, Rubio, and Martinez. And was only dropped once. Safe to.say his chin was granite

[Chrismart]

I'd pick Golovkin in all those fights, with Winky being the trickiest.

Yeah I know but I meant out of the guys I named

[revs1227]

all tough fights that was a serious division at the time

really cant even say at this point

i def have pavlik beating him though

[Dodger07]

Golovkin ko's Taylor and Miranda.

He loses to Wright by decision.

Pavlik and Abraham fights are tough imo.

I'd give the clear edge to GGG against Abraham. Both have similar power but GGG simply throws more and cuts the ring off better. GGG by decision.

Pavlik is a pick em fight to me. Pavlik was taller, had as much power and had a strong jab to fight behind with. The fight would be a war but I'd give the slight edge to GGG by decision. Kellly had a good chin so he wont get kod but GGG is more skilled by attacking the body and cutting off the ring better.

[Foreign Soil]

Wright wouldn't be doing anything to bother GGG. Cover up guard and jab? Horrible gameplan against a puncher with skill. Wouldn't be surprised if Winky got stopped.

Taylor would start off ok but get KO'd eventually. Pavlik would be a war for a while but eventually Kelly would be knocked into submission. Miranda KO'd early. Abraham would get outworked/boxed and busted up from his guard.

[NearHypnos]

Lol at Pavlik too skilled

It's a figure of speech. Pavlik's size/skill ratio makes a difference he wasn't just a big middle. He could box, let's not pretend he couldnt because he lost to Bernard and Sergio. Great jab and sense of distance in relation to everything else he brought to the table, specifically size and power. I need to see more out of GGG before I can just say he would walk face first into Pavliks jab and right hand and run him out the ring without ever being stopped in his track by either. There's no shame in losing to that version of Sergio or Bhop who fight nothing like Ggg. I wouldnt dare pick GGG over those two at this stage in his career either...


And yeah Pavlik did NOT have a questionable chin.
