    Hey, Larry, GGG has the power and jab. Bernard would try to make it ugly, but it would be a great fight.

    Now get your caramel, redbone ass on the GGG bandwagon, whiteboy!

      With or without testosterone therapy for Hopkins?

        Why? Didn't Hopkins drop 2 controversial decisions to a far less talented fighter in Taylor at around the same age?

        At least Golovkin was able to get jib with a draw while Hopkins flat out lost. And Golovkin has the one weapon that always tamed Hopkins, the jab.

          Absolutely not. He would UD Hopkins 8-4. GGG is a high volume pressure fighter with a great jab. Hopkins won't do enough to win the rounds.

              As if that coward would go near him.

                I actually think Hopkin would drop a decision to Jacobs and wouldn't have an easy time with Canelo (although I think he beats him much like Golovkin beat him.)

                Hopkins other weakness was young, athletic, and quick reflex having fighters like Taylor, Dawson, Jones, and Jacobs.

                Lots of people who discredit Golovkin don't like to admit to themselves that Hopkins shined against those same type of opponent Golovkin shinned against, offensive fights with very little movement, ring IQ, or speed, who came straight forward.

                    Lol. It would be another repeat of the Kovalev fight for Hopkins. Golovkin has an even better jab and better overall boxing skills. In a neutral venue, Hopkins is going to get out boxed and out jabbed and lose a decision.

                      Exactly what do you have against Golovkin?
