      As GGG would say Bhop "has best mouth".

      I think fans take things boxers say WAY too seriously most of the time or just LOVE throwing their words in their faces like perhaps this time. Its like people think everyone is hooked up to lie detectors or shouldn't hype themselves or a fight. People enjoy the hype, the **** talking, the bragging or predictions way more than they like the Billy Joe "GGG would buttf#ck me" Saunders type stances & therefore more cats are prone to those behaviors for getting fans attention.

          Wouldn't say it's a foregone conclusion, but Golovkin lacks the athleticism that typically gave hop trouble.

          On the other hand he does cut the ring off very well and has very good fundamentals. When you add in his power you can see him having some say in the outcome.

            I don't think there's any time in history Hopkins beats GGG. You have truly special fighters like GGG and you have fighters that work for greatness.

            Unfortunately for Hopkins GGG is both special and a hard worker and would most likely lose a decision to GGG after being dropped twice.

                He gets all the credit for doing something even Hopkins couldn't do, knocking out legit top ten MW and making it look easy.

                Even Hopkins struggled against some comp he was facing and some of those guys weren't even top ten.

                What were witnessing it truly special I can't think of the last time someone has just demolish legit champions and contenders like this.

                **** is so unbelievable that fans are just giving him automatic wins over Canelo, Cotto, Quillin, Jacobs, and Lee and saying he should just move up.

                  Lol no. Golovkin is great at measuring distance, he would beat 48 year old Hopkins to the punch in embarrassing fashion. All the things Hopkins does that give him the edge over some of these guys, Golovkin has already shown he knows how to handle.

                    GGG is a monster it would not be easy. GGG jab is very effective.......

                    Good question. I'd give the advantage to GGG, who is no Kelly Pavlik (though I liked Pavlik.) It would be great to see this matchup.

                      Fight would not happen, he is a Light Heavyweight like Ward.
