    I would pick the hopkins that lost to taylor to beat ggg..

    Ggg just too slow and deliberate.. Taylor had that great athletic jab amd tempo that caused hopkins trouble..

    Hell I think taylor/ggg would be a 50/50 fight

      If we are talking prime Hopkins - GGG would get Tito'd. But now? I pick GGG, but I wouldn't be surprised if Hopkins had success in there.

        Bhop isn't stopping Golovkin at any point in his career. I'd pick him to win but let's keep it real, he wouldn't white wash Golovkin.

              How well did that jab work out for Taylor against a fighter like Abraham or Froch?

                Styles and Bhop is a master of spoiler fighting he would just tie Gennady up and take his power away , Gennady has not fought a guy with the boxing IQ that Bhop has and Bernard at 6' 1" is big tall rangy guy , to be honest Hopkins has a good shot now at age 50+ which is amazing , prime I would take BH for sure .

                  1. Styles make fights,,

                  2. Taylor was already past it by the time he fought froch n abraham

                  3. Taylor dropped the iron chinned froch and pavlik

                  4. Golovkin gets hit flush by nearly everyone, imagine a prime taylor landing the shots that Brook did

                    you really think that....really? taylor always fought boxer types for a reason. bad chin and couldn't deal with pressure fighters. they stuck him in with pavlik and he was destroyed. froch who doesn't cut the ring off anywhere close to ggg and froch ko'd him.

                      both guys came back to stop him lol. does this fantasy taylor you are talking about now have great finishing power, and stamina as well as the ability to deal with pressure fighters? things he never had when he was fighting.
