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.Comment

Im struggling to think of one who i would pick against him with any confidence. Hagler would be pretty much 50/50 i think, but only way i could clearly see him losing is against a bigger man at a higher weight.
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...
...no sense mentioning the ATG'sComment

Don't even think about bringing up Leonard...Comment

Hagler Golovkin would be a gruelling, close fight which Golovkin takes with his superior boxing brain.
Roy Jones is the safest bet to beat him.Comment

Hypothetically a lot of guys. I could think of 6 just off the top of my head that I would absolutely pick to beat him.
Hopkins
Jones
Toney
Hagler
Monzon
Sugar Ray Robinson
Then I could honestly pick another group of guys where I would be uncertain of the result.
Ray Leonard
Duran
Hearns
Pavlik
Eubank Snr
Nigel Benn
Jake Lamotta
Julian Jackson
Arthur Abraham
Jermain Taylor
Sergio Martinez
Felix Trinidad
Michael Watson
Errol Graham
Mike McCallum
Its up to GGG to make that list smaller - not mine or anyone else. He literally hasn't fought anyone yet - so this whole thread is FAR too hypothetical. Even some of the names on my list, in time they may prove to be farcical, they might not. But when GGG's current best win is Kell Brook, an elite welterweight today, but historically nothing special - then that makes threads like this premature and purely based on assumption more than anything else.
He has lots of title defences and that is bringing him in to a bit of a problem as far as his historical standing, because for whatever reason, a lot of it not his own fault, he hasn't yet fought anyone, and that is a detriment to his legacy.Comment
