    McClellan was an all round better boxer than Gennady is. If Canelo and Jacobs could make it real close, McClellan would go to town.
    Benn was never p4p level. People need Stop glorifying past eras.

      In that era neither would Golovkin.

        I don’t mind a little BS here and there but this out and out lying has to stop. Lil g might actually beat McClellen but in what world is he more battle tested?

          you must at least know Benn got an extended count that would have had him out. if you mean u are worse on this site for missing that, you get a pass from me for that error.

          and i do take nothing from him, his performance was as much a factor as that. I am not sure he needed the refs help or not, and as a Brit am fully behind his classic win though not the tragic end.
          Benn was knocked outside of the ring so you get 20 seconds to get back into the ring. There was no long count.

            You're comparing a very good fighter to a bum in Price? Wow, you G fans are crazy. McClellan had a great chin, Price had one made of glass. So yeah, complete opposites, man.

            Go and watch the G man against probably the P4P hardest hitter in history in Julian Jackson and realise what ******ity you're talking.

              Gerard almost never fought past the 2nd round, so he could gas out.

                Benn is a vastly superior fighter to Gennady. Much more proven against much better opposition. There is no way Golovkin hangs in that era. No way.

                  McClellan had good stamina. Why, which fight did he run out of gas?

                    sorry my bad.

                    though the rabbit punches ignored were a travesty.

                      If you are not used to going 10 rounds, being taken into deep water, might not the be the best.
