examples of good recent stand in opponents....

This thread is about Golovkin right?

Not even 6 months ago Takam stood in for Pulev against AJ.

Vanes is a terrible fight for Golovkin, there's no way around that.

All good examples. The boxers mentioned were all in the same weight class, though, and ready.
Ugas will do the same against Spence, after Spence's mandatory withdrew.

Thread backfire.

OP expected there to be no good examples. Vanes sucks as a replacement. Plain and simple.

[The Big Dunn]

Would someone please tell Dramashow that we all understand the situation GGG is in but Vanes is a terrible fill in given what he's done the last 3 years.

[Zaroku]

Vanes is a bad short notice fighter for GGG.

Szpilka was a standin for Wilder.

Sergio Martinez stepped in on 3 weeks notice to fight Paul Williams

vitali klitschko stepped in on 3 weeks notice to fight Lennox Lewis

Vitali had Lewis shook. Lewis took Vitali way too lightly. Did what he had to do to earn his win though. Saw a weakness and took advantage.

Was that Kirk Johnson Klitschko stepped in for?

yes sir!!!!
