    Jacobs had the right balance of movement and power to really trouble him. If he doesn't respect your power enough, you have a problem. Jacobs on his best day probably had the best chance and he still couldn't actually beat him.

    Canelo didn't really have the power to stop the constant pressure and although he moved a lot, it's not what he's good at.

    I'd like to see him v saunders. I think Billy can probably avoid getting caught too much and he's got a good chin too, but whether he would be willing to open up and throw enough to actually win rounds against GGG would be the question. Also i don't think he can really hurt GGG to stop the pressure.

    obviously he's ageing now so eventually his age might beat himself but as it stands, i don't think anyone has the amount of tools it takes to beat him at.

    I'm not sure about Charlo. I'd have to see more of him at middleweight and if he has the power against good fighters. He was struggling to get a one legged Heiland out. I doubt Heiland would've lasted a round with GGG or Jacobs in that condition...

      Canelo will beat GGG a few weeks from now. I also think Jacobs would beat GGG in a rematch.

        Canelo, Derevyanchenko and Charlo have the best chance IMO. Canelo has the reflexes and power to win. Derevyanchenko is a legit brawler that's vastly underestimated. Charlo is a more active, fierce version of Danny. Not saying he's as good as Danny, but we won't know how they compare yet.

        Don't see Danny having a night like that again, and if we judge that fight by how Golovkin came on later on, he would pressure much better and control the fight better.

        Saunders I see losing similar to Willie Monroe. He just doesn't have enough pop to make Golovkin tentative.

          Canelo, Jacobs and Jermall in that order are the only 3 middleweights I give much of a chance to beat him and I still make him a solid favorite to beat them. I think Saunders and Andrade are a level below both GGG and Canelo and not as good as Jacobs or Jermall either. They both lack the punching power of the top 4 middleweights.

            GGG loves fighters that fight on the outside.

              What you should say is you THINK Canelo will win the rematch. You don't know who will win the rematch anymore than anyone else. You are just guessing who will win this close fight like everybody else is. If you knew Canelo would win you would bet everything you own on him and you are not doing that. I think you have been dead sure who would win a fight and been wrong many times. This might be another time you know without doubt who will win and be proven wrong.

                Ive got a feeling that Saunders troubles him early but hes tendency to fade late might let Golovkin outwork him for a points win. And can Saunders get hes respect?

                  BJS is extremely underrated at 160, I think highly of BJS skills and I think he troubles all of them and I think he can cleverly OUT-BOX and Frustrated the hell out of all of them and make them look just as silly as he did Lemieux. Want to see how he looks vs Andrade, I favor him slightly to beat Andrade because I don't know which Andrade shows up the one vs Culcay or the one vs Fox and Nelson also the Layoffs/Inactivity because of bad decisions from Manager and Promotion outside of the ring just like Rigo, wasted away PRIME YEARS!

                  Jermall Charlo is the most DANGEROUS! He is the young hungry Younger Lion Circling the PRIDE just waiting for the right moment to Challenge the PRIDE LEADER/KING at 160 GGG who is older now (36)

                  If Charlo does get his shot at GGG (of course if GGG beats Canelo here in a few weeks), he might be getting him at the right time but lets see how 36 year old GGG looks against Canelo first. I'm not seeing a decline in GGG just yet though so lets take one fight at a time. I do think even Sanchez sees a THREAT which is why he is kinda already dismissing the possibility Early before it gets any bigger

                      Anyone else get this feeling that the Charlo Bros (or at least one of them). Might be packing Terry Norris type chin?? I've already had more than a couple people say this to me in various occasions.
