    how would golovkin have done against canelos recent opposition?

    Lots of talk of the improvements canelo has made in recent years, so how do you think golovkin would have done against the same opponents? Would he have been able to beat miguel cotto (past prime), james kirkland, amir khan, liam smith and julio cesar chavez jr? or is that line up of fighters much too strong for golovkin? Has canelo proved his skills by beating that line up of fighters?

    Pretty much the same. I think it might have taken Golovkin a little longer to catch Khan but the result would have been the same.

      Could GGG have knocked out Khan into an even a deeper state of unconsciousness than Canelo?

      Might be one for the deep thinkers and quantum physicists of the world.

            Fantasy match-ups, Golovkin always does well in these. Though it will change after September when everyone realises he just isn't that good.

              ...What. Cotto has no chance in hell against Golovkin, even in his prime.

              If he stepped in the ring with Golovkin he would never hear that final bell.

              Also those KOs are way too late. Smith would be blasted out in the first few rounds and Khan would go down the minute he gets hit, which is inevitable early on.
