Is there any middleweight in history who could go toe to toe with GGG and beat him?

Toe to toe? I believe Hagler will do it, mclellan, jackson, benn

This. Add Mike McCallum to the list.

Or is Golovkin too strong for any 160 lb human to go toe to toe?

Out of curiosity, if GGG is such a beast fighting toe to toe then why did he resort to outboxing Pepe La Pew?

Serious question right here

... Well: you say that, back then, the U.S. fighters were hungrier (!?!)... but... the Russians weren't they as hungrier as the U.S. ones ... ... based on what, tbh?...

they're now bidnessman

you think he could go toe to toe with GGG with his chin? honest question

imo he'll go toe to toe, GGG by rd 1 KO

This. Add Mike McCallum to the list.

there are many fearless boxers back in the day, now, theyre just bidnessman

Not sure. Maybe the Russian trainers didn't have the skill set the U.S. fighters had back then. Got me.

Monzon is ATG ,GGG is not tasted yet,Monzon was so good that he is 2nd or 3rd best MW of all the time on many lists,check out his fights its worth it.

Actually, Monzon is #1 on many lists....though I don't think ANYBODY could beat Hagler in his prime.

Obviously not. Time travel match making is fantasy. Golovkin the best 2016.

McCallum vs Jackson was at Jr Middleweight -- but they could have fought at SMW or even at LHW as well...

Seeing what Brook did at moments , I'd honestly wouldn't be surprised if De La Hoya at 160 beats him and think Leonard would play with him... Actual great MW's and it's not a contest.

Golovkin kills De La Hoya. It would've been beautiful to see.

On the other hand, I can definitely see Leonard keeping himself out of harm's way enough to win a decision. NOT, however, by going "toe to toe."
