The guy has left a trail of destruction in the middleweight division that hasnt been seen before, greatness is happening in front of our eyes, fighters are running for cover to avoid fighting him, and all you guys can do is ***** and moan!!! Its pathetic!!!!
And if you are going to say someone can beat him, please provide a good explanation rather than just talking crap, looking for intelligent boxing discussion...

I think that we allready had thread like this,i think that Monzon Ko GGG,as for Hagler you are right itd close,Rjj comes to mind and SRR but i would like to see some more from golovkin before talking about it.

Hagler would be competitive.

Do not know if he would win but it would be a hell of a fight.

RJJ in his prime.
Hagler
Monzon
SRR
Maybe Hopkins in his prime...

Not a bad list of guys though....

34yr old Golovkin... requires 160 limitation of discussion yet RJJ and Toney has already moved up long before 34 yrs of age.

RJJ, Toney, Hagler, Monzon, SRL, Hearns, Bhop would beat Martinez or Sturm as Golovkin fans like to bring up.

The list is too long to mention. Even Jacobs COULD beat him, doesn't mean i would favour him to beat him.

Marvin Hagler is 5'9 1/2 against Gennady Golovkin's 5'11 GGG would be the bigger man between the two and he had already said that he was "unsure" if he could beat Golovkin if they ever fought. Marvin said that Golovkin reminded him of himself back when he was ducked to the point that the orgs did not allow him to fight for a world title.

But I would Pick Golovkin to beat Hagler in an SD-MD match up. Marvin Hagler isn't Pernell Whitaker and Gennady Golovkin isn't Ruslan Provodnikov, he would respect Hagler's power and would not walk through him. Golovkin would probably try to pick his shots, and would punish him with body shots. The thing about Hagler is he holds up his hands too high that would leave his body open, and GGG would take advantage of it. Hagler would try to be the counter puncher, but the thing about Golovkin is he LOVES his opponents to be the counter puncher because of how he faints his shots and how he picks it.

At least you have to be top draw 160 guy to beat gig. People are realistic now which is good
