Gennady Golovkin vs. Gerald McClellan prime for prime.

[Sid-Knee]

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

So you're assuming then? Yeah, that's not exactly proof of having bad stamina.

[HeadShots]

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

fight with Benn. he was in his prime too.

[DreamFighter]

So you're assuming then? Yeah, that's not exactly proof of having bad stamina.

to be fair there is also a lack of proof that he had good 12 round stamina.

but yeh its wrong to assume, true, and he went out to brain injury not stamina that was serious headshot failthere.

People said that about Wilder and Spence until Wilder did it with ease against Stiverne and until Spence stopped Brook in the 11th.

Spence had been to rounds 5,6 and 8 plenty of times.

[bballchump11]

Spence had been to rounds 5,6 and 8 plenty of times.

yeah true, but I've seen some people suggest that he couldn't go 12 rounds. Anthony Joshua is similar also, but Joshua is known to have mediocre stamina. So that wouldn't have been a great example.

McClellan didn't run out of gas against Benn, he had serious neurological problems going on. Big difference.

[NaijaD]

I like McClellan to win by KO at 160, bigger puncher, faster, taller, longer reach and he could hang with Golovkin for pure boxing ability too. I can’t believe people questioning his chin, he was brain damaged for half of the Benn fight and was still never visibly hurt. It was his extreme toughness that cost him in the end.

[Madison Boxing]

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.

In 20 years they'll say that about this era. People always romanticize the past. They'd call Benn a crude eurobum on the forum if he was around now

They won't be saying the same about this era. They will say it was ****, just like they're saying now.

Benn has wins over...

Barkley
Sanderline Williams
Dewitt
McClellan
Should have a win over Eubank in the second fight
Sims
Malinga
Galvano

That's a vastly better resume than Golovkin has. All day every day.

If people were to say Benn was a eurobum if he was around today, then that would be the Americans. But Benn would shut them up sharpish after he beats their best fighters like he did do.
