Golovkin in the Super Six... how does he do?

[HeroBando]

Even a shot to bits Abraham convincingly beat Murray who looks better at the weight than he did at MW. Imagine what a prime Abe would do to those sort of guys nevermind a Froch, Kessler or an Andre Ward.

We don't have to imagine, we saw him struggle vs Simon, Ayala, Gevor etc

[HeroBando]

Notice how all the Brits knew it was tongue in cheek and some months later Froch said it was. Americans never get it, do they?

When Froch said this?

"It was tongue in cheek back then. I was being a bit cheeky and you can take those comments with a pinch of salt. What I will say though is this guy can ****ing punch: he's dangerous and if he can be avoided we'll avoid him. I'll stand by that and I don't give a ****.

If Golovkin had been in the super six instead of Jermain Taylor. How does he perform?

vs:

-Kessler (L, Golovkin doesn't one-punch guys at even 160, Kessler schools him)
-Ward (L, Golovkin doesn't one punch guys at even 160, Ward roughs him up)
-Froch (L, Golovkin doesn't one-punch guys at even 160, granite jaw and long)
-Dirrell (?, Dirrell is a physical nightmare for Golovkin, while also being a full-on 168lber; does the chin hold up?)
-Abraham (?, Golovkin sees a mirror of himself, with Abraham having the punch)

[Scipio2009]

The better question us how badass would a Super 6 of 154/160 fighters (at 160) be?

-Golovkin (WBA/IBF/WBC)
-Lara
-Jacobs (wba)
-Saunders (WBO)
-Andrade
-Soro

Fixed for you; there's no way on planet Earth that Alvarez or Cotto would allow themselves to be locked into 3-4 straight fights where their opponents had already been decided for them, let alone have both Charlo brothers put in a predicament where they may have to fight each other.

Doubt that HBO would put up the money/time commitment though.

I think he beats everyone convincingly except for Ward and Froch. Those two would give him the toughest fight. A fight with a prime Froch would be very intriguing and competitive. Ward would probably beat him.

[bojangles1987]

Ward most likely beats him, Froch and Kessler are 50/50 fights. It's hard to pick a winner there. Both guys were big, tough, had good chins, and had enough skill to cause Golovkin real problems. Dirrell, well, Dirrell is a huge enigma no matter who he fights.

I think Kessler's a harder fight than Froch for GGG

[bojangles1987]

It all probably boils down to how he does against Froch. He ain't beating Ward imo, He gets past the rest of the crowd, Kessler is a solid fighter but not capable of greatness imo.

Froch is tough and big enough to be a problem... I see this as a bruising, back and fourth fight. I don't think Froch is necessarily made for GG as beercules states, but Froch is there to be hit for sure and GG would have his moments! On the other hand Froch gets tougher when he can make a brawl happen and unlike Ward who can shut the door on this and beat up Froch inside, I don't see GG having those skills.

So...either GG sneaks by Froch, or not, either way Ward beats the winner.

Kessler beat Froch, why are so many people acting like Froch is a problem but Kessler isn't? They are very much equal fighters. If Golovkin might lose to Froch, obviously he might lose to Kessler. Mikkel was big, tough, had real power and more skill than Froch.

It's hard to tell, because Golovkin was a different fighter in 2009-2011. He wasn't as aggressive, as experienced and wasn't trained as well (he wasn't a big star and had a very low budget).

IMO the 2009 version of Golovkin would be 35/65 vs. Ward, 50/50 vs Froch, 45/55 vs Kessler, 75/35 vs Dirrell and 80/20 vs AA.
The 2015/2016 version of Golovkin wins Super 6.

[just the facts]

G string decisions Allen Green and then his team insists all future opponent weigh 164 or less, after all they are the A side. His spot is filled by a different fighter and again Ward is crowned king
