What if ggg had turned pro when he was 15

[-MEGA-]

At 23, Golovkin defeated the top amateur middleweights to become world champion:

2003 won the World Championships in ****kok, Thailand as a Middleweight. Results were:

Defeated Matvey Korobov (Russia) PTS (19–10)
Defeated Andy Lee (Ireland) PTS (29–9)
Defeated Lucian Bute (Romania) KO-4
Defeated Yordanis Despaigne (Cuba) PTS (29–26)
Defeated Oleg Mashkin (Ukraine) RSCI-2

Over what, 3 rounds? With headgear on?

[The Time]

I see Maxi knows the exact weight Golovkin was when he was 23 years old.

Well, if he fought at Middleweight during his early 20's and mid 20's and if he was pro he would have to fight Bernard Hopkins. Hopkins was in his prime at that time. Hopkins would have definitely beat Golovkin during that time. Same with Canelo if he fought a prime Bernard Hopkins. Canelo would lose to a prime Bernard Hopkins as well. Winky Wright also would have beat Canelo. I think Golovkin would challenge Winky Wright more because of his style. But I probably would give Winky Wright the edge against Golovkin as well. But Golovkin would give Winky Wright a tougher fight than Canelo due to styles.

Probably gets beat by forest and de la Hoya. Vargas would be a barn burner but age appropriate Canelo seems more disciplined. Vargas was a party animal. So I'd choose Canelo. Mayorga gets beat all day.

Of the fighters mentioned I think De La Hoya would have beaten Triple G back then and Vernon Forrest also I would pick. But Forrest has chin issues, so hard to say. Maybe Mosley as well.

Hard to speculate really, so it's hard to say. We can only guess and not really know. It's like saying who would win a fight Sugar Ray Leonard or Floyd Mayweather?

And what if a 23 years old Golovkin had to fight a 23 years old Hopkins?

He was the #1 amateur in the world on his weightclass, does it sound too little for you? haha.

What if GGG went to prison? What if Canelo was bald?

He was an amateur, used headgear and only boxed 3 rounds a match. All great accomplishments none the less.


But how would he have done as a pro?
