      kostya was a 1-2 guy. power in right hand. he had a body attack but not as pronounced as GGG in his prime.

      GGG is the age Kostya retired. Remember that. it truly is unfortunate how he got the big fights when he's at the end of his career.


      so GGG's last performance is still better than Kostya's last performance against Hatton. Canelo > Hatton.

        Overall, amateur and pro, Golovkin is a better fighter.

          Styles make fights. I would favor Lara to beat GGg but not a Middleweight version of Tszyu. I would favor Porter to beat Tszyu but a Middleweight version of Porter loses to GGG

              lara wouldn't beat ggg.


              he'd lose a wide decision if not get stopped. the judges don't like his style either. he offers nothing to trouble ggg. who can pump a jab and out land him every round.

                I dont get why people think Tszyu and GG have similiar styles.

                Tszyu is more of a boxer with dynamites for fists. He is a cerebral fighter.

                They are nothing alike.

                  GGG proved in the Jacobs fight that he is the same

                    Vince Phillips was a good fighter more than a journeyman. I don't know if you're boxrec'ing to form your opinion.

                    He wasn't the old "name" younger guys beat up on back then.

                    Ran over by Hatton? That fight was a top 3 in the hugging department. It was an awful ugly fight.

                      Lol he is obviously a noob..
                      cant believe somebody would mention Hatton and label philips as a journeyman.
