Toughest Fight For GGG: Canelo, Lara, Billy Jo, Eubank, Jacobs, Lee, Quillin?

[FlatLine]

Which one of these guys give GGG the toughest & closest fight? And, would you pick any one of those to beat him?

Saul Canelo Alvarez
Erislandy Lara
Billy Jo Saunders
Chris Eubank Jr
Daniel Jacobs
Peter Quillin

[Butt stuff]

All most probably get stopped. I'd say Billy Joe could win the most rounds out of everyone before getting stopped. Lara would run too much and not win any whilst Canelo would stand in fighting range too long & get tagged badly.

[Chollo Vista]

Jacobs without a doubt.

He has the ability to KO GGG. If that doesn't work, GGG will at least respect Jacobs power and keep his distance. From there, Jacobs has the ability to outbox GGG as long as he isn't caught with anything big of course.

[Chollo Vista]

BTW, Tom Loeffler himself says Jacobs is a bigger threat to GGG than Canelo.

Stylistically BJS would give GGG the most trouble. He was very good feet and technique. In reality though Canelo's experience, size and power would make him the most competitive vs GGG.

[Eastcoast]

I voted Jacobs, but I think Lee might beat Danny in June.

The biggest threats to Golovkin in 2017 might be Sergiy Derevyanchenko and Antoine Douglass.

[Citizen Koba]

Jacobs without a doubt.

He has the ability to KO GGG. If that doesn't work, GGG will at least respect Jacobs power and keep his distance. From there, Jacobs has the ability to outbox GGG as long as he isn't caught with anything big of course.

I'm not getting your thing with Jacobs, I respect that you're clearly genuine about it, and I think he's a good MW, but I don't really see him as any better than the rest of the pack and stylistically I don't think Golovkin is good for him at all.

BJS is the one who gives him the most problems IMO though Canelo's not far off (in fact the two have a number of similarities in the way they fight). Lara would do a good job of avoiding and pot-shotting GGG.... for a while, but Jacobs engages too recklessly IMO which could quickly land him in trouble.

Neither Eubank or Quillin are easy fights by any stretch, but to me both are pretty one dimensional and on a level a little below the fighters already mentioned.

[SeekDaGreat]

Canelo
Eubank Jr.
Jacob's
Lara (too fragile, if he was tougher would be #2)
BJS (nothing special.)

In that order.

[Lester Tutor]

I pick Lara pot shotting mayhem and moving exposing he's not the best cutting off the ring against real footwork ala elite.

Regarding Canelo, it's the one fight that we will see GGG gass out. GGG uses too much energy with his range jabbing. Alvarez by decision.

[lopetego]

None of these matches would be tough for GGG

GGG flattens all of them

they're not on his level, nobody from 154-168 is

really, GGG is so superior to these chumps is not even funny

and by chumps, I mean compared to GGG ofc

these guys are world class fighters, but compared to GGG they are just that: chumps, bums and no hopers

Canelo would be the most competitive of the bunch

Lara is probably the only one who goes the distance and loses by UD, for running for his life like a ***** for 12 rounds

The rest of them get brutally stopped, some of them maybe stretchered
