List of fighters who would take GGG to school

I think its crazy at worst to think Floyd doesn't stand a chance. I mean Monroe was having some good moments with GGG & Monroe gots nothing on Floyd in craftiness & **** might even have less of a punch than him.
I don't really see GGG as rough as Maidana or Castillo, the two guys who gave Floyd the most problems in most fans minds. He's obviously bigger, but he's wayyyyy slower & his defense is average at best which Floyd & Ward & any crafty high boxing IQ guy with good to great timing would show.
100% on this doe. Although guys who tend to stop guys rarely get credit for anything other than their power when its their jab that quite often sets things up.
GGG is no pushover for anyone thats for sure.
I think Canelo's elusiveness which has gotten better over the last couple years would be key to Canelo winning. GGG is gonna miss A LOT vs Canelo & I think Canelo is got some good counters & powerful counters at that that will be coming at GGG that'll make that fight really fun over the first 5-8 rounds where I think its most likely to end one way or another, but I strongly lean towards Canelo still.
Brook is a bigger, stronger cat than Floyd Eff, especially at higher weights than 147.
Brit dude was at a muscular 167 on fight night, Floyd usually is 147 on fight night and would not put much muscle if he tried to fight at 160.
Floyd have been at best 154 on fight night.
That's just an unfair fight.
It's all about size bru, GGG would just destroy Floyd.
Brook could land some combos because his punches had somehow (unlike people pretend) an effect on GGG, he even elevated him with an uppercut lol.
Floyd punches would NOT worry GGG by any means, and Floyd pot shots.
GGG would dictate the pace IMO.
Even if Floyd was able to dodge GGG's jab and akward punching to the head+body, GGG would just sap his arms and shoulders, look how this guy is "hands of stoned", he just broke Brook face with a left hook/jab.
Floyd would leave the ring crying.
Andre Ward, hell, a very different story.Comment

Honestly I find it funny to say Canelo & BJS could beat GGG, but I still think their styles matchup very well with GGG & they would do well vs him worst case.
I think Oscar is the reason Canelo isn't fighting GGG now more than its about Canelo & I think BJS is like the cowardly lion from the Wizard of Oz who doesn't have the confidence & courage in his own abilities like he should cuz he's a very high level ring general & strategically I think he'd make all the right choices vs GGG, but sadly he wants to buy everyone in his family a caravan & a dozen dags plus a small island before he fights anyone better than Max Bursak.
But yea I agree it sounds odd, but that doesn't mean they just lie down when those fights get made, they &/or their people just want the best possible situations lined up to make those fights happen. I'm no fan of it granted, but I believe its a lil much to act like cuz they want more ideal situations that they just bend over on fight night after they got their more ideal situation.Comment

I disagree its all about size. Size would for sure play a part in any fight with GGG vs a smaller guy in particular these 147ish sized guys 2 divisions lower than him. I just think Floyd's exceptional boxing IQ & timing negates GGG's size & power. I think GGG averages less than 10 punches landed a round vs Floyd just like Manny. Mosley & Marquez did who are three of the best guys Floyd fought. If those talented HOF guys can't hit Floyd more than 10 times a round GGG's turtle speed ass isn't either.
Monroe's punches didn't worry GGG by any means, but I still thought Monroe did wayyyy better than expected in that fight & I don't see how Floyd doesn't do a similar yet much better job as Monroe minus the standing in front of him too long to get hit for no good reason + getting stopped parts.Floyd punches would NOT worry GGG by any means, and Floyd pot shots.

Yeah, but Floyd is a small 147 pounders, Brook a huge one.I disagree its all about size. Size would for sure play a part in any fight with GGG vs a smaller guy in particular these 147ish sized guys 2 divisions lower than him. I just think Floyd's exceptional boxing IQ & timing negates GGG's size & power. I think GGG averages less than 10 punches landed a round vs Floyd just like Manny.

Marquez, you talking about midgets.
You guys underrating GGG after last night just because he looked vulnerable in one round.
And this has more to do with Brook being good than GGG being bad.
Brook himself would school Porter again, but also Thurman and Spence and would give Floyd a solid hard fight.
GGG beat him like trash at the end of the day.
Floyd would be more elusive and skilled than Brook but also would be a weaker fighter.
Let's be real, Floyd can't crack an egg at 147. And Monroe is a dude walking around 175, not 150.
I'm telling you, you can't count GGG out with such power and skillset.
I disagree with him being slow like turtle, those punches are quite sharp and well timed, he rocked Brook in the first round when they boxed.
At the end of the day, he had a close first round, a tough second round, then destroyed Brook.Comment
