Degale said he would drop down in weight to face gg

DeGale couldn't make 160 he looks like death just making 168.

Well you surely don't consider Golovkin elite either then?

GGG hasn't shown the same lapses as Degale. He's defensively responsible, wins every round, keeps his punches tight, and doesn't gas.

So of the two he certainly closer to being elite. But obviously you disagree so tell me what are this terrible flaws GGG has that can be corrected.

Golovkin is pretty easy to hit and doesn't counter-punch when he's on the backfoot.

His opposition has been so terrible that they haven't been able to fully expose his flaws.

Don't need to just wait.. Let GGG get all the belts then fight him at 168

Our James knocks his bloody head off!!!!

Gg let monroe tee of his face if he does that against degale he's getting sparked out plain an simple. If not he could very easily get outboxed 8-4

I think you lack the boxing knowledge to identify what counter punch is. He knockout Geale out with a counter punch and he also caught Lemule with counters.

And Degale and GGG are both not as good on the back foot. I honestly can't name any fighter that fights better going backwards than forward.

And easy hit, I never seen GGG caught flush on the chin or hurt. So I'll have to disagree until I see him caught with hard clean shots repeatedly. But as far as I seen he keeps those hands up with trading and catches them on his gloves (ex. His fight with Lemule round 4.)

GGG is the far better boxer, straighter punches, better timing, better footwork, and precise jab. Degale would have to land a Hail Mary early to either knock GGG out or get his respect. Use his size to keep GGG hesitant but first Degale lacks the stamina to do this for 12 rounds.

Out boxing the better boxer would be a long and difficult task.

This sadly is in the same boat as a Lara fight (though it'd probably be more entertaining). I wouldn't mind seeing it, but let me know when Haymon/PBC fighters can work out fights with HBO fighters and then we can talk about it.

ummm did you watch the lajuan Simon fight? he knocked him out off the back foot counter. GGG is as easy to hit as he wants to make it, if he decides he doesn't want you to hit him then you will have a hard time hitting him. If GGG decided to fight less aggressively like Ward/Mayweather then he probably would be one of the best defensive fighters out there, but he decides to entertain the public and that usually means he would take a punch here and there to land his own.
