Comments Thread For: Hopkins Confident He Would Beat Golovkin - Explains How!

[Sugar Adam Ali]

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.

Not saying taylor is an overwhelming favorite, but a prime taylor could do some serious damage if he lands flush.. 50/50 because taylor will be very dangerous early

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 .

Maybe so, but has Hopkins fought a guy like GGG either? How many guys has had success tying GGG up, or keeping a good distance thus far?

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

So by saying styles make fights, doesnt GGG do well when guys come at him? How would taylor handle a GGG punch, or Hopkins for that matter? Both like to come forward. So it could come down to the best chin...which obviously goes to GGG.

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.

And both those guys bigger n longer than ggg and I'm using taylor from the hopkins fights, before hopkins and winky soften up his chin.. I always thought that hopkins concussed taylor late in the first fight and he was never really the same..

Like I said before,, not sayng taylor wins, just that it's 50/50. Golovkin has never faced a caliber of fighter of taylor 2005, so we really don't know how he reacts when faced with a big athletic young power puncher with a long jab

Hopkins still living in a dream world..look what happened with Kovalev...GGG knocks Hopkins out in 7

Taylor would be one of the few guys that could back up ggg behind the jab..

No one yet has been able to force ggg backwards and no one knows how Golovkin reacts. Taylor can hurt anyone if he lands flush and ggg has shown a penchant for getting hit flush

Thats the thing GGG hasnt fought anyone within a bulls roar of Bhop , you will see what Im saying if he fought Ward , Hopkins has fought overall much better fighters .

Look at Bhops resume and look at Gs , no comparison and WW Brook is Gs best opponent , there are a number of guys on Hopkins resume that would mop the floor with all of Gs opponents .

Dont you realize that was 175 when Bhop is a natural MW in his prime , lets see GGG go to 175 and face Kov or Ward , even talking about Hopkins vs GGG at 168 and a 50 yr old Hopkins in right in the fight .

He ws pretty confident about beating Kovlalev and Cahlzaghe too

Both are much bigger than GGG , GGG is an easier opponent for Bhop considering the styles and sizes .
