i pick Canelo over him

At this time for GGG to have a chance he has to control the fight with his jab...and he has a great jab, but could he land it often and strongly for 12 rounds and keep AB off of him? I don't think that is the likeliest scenario.

I can't really see a way now for him winning...I can't see him really doing enough to keep AB off of him, and it is much more likely that AB would hurt GGG than vice versa.

On his best day going up 2 weight classes to face a prime AB would still be a tall task for GGG. Weight classes exist for a reason and we haven't seen any evidence of what GGG can do above 160 really.

But a prime GGG seemed as indestructible as AB, and more active especially with the jab. I could see him winning a fight based on outpointing AB prime vs prime. But we don't really know what AB is either. His win over the Nail is impressive. Most of his other wins are impressive so far. Impressive amateur career. That KD he suffered against Johnson? is a decent mark against him though.

I'm really interested to see what AB does to end his career. Already mid 30s but in great shape it seems. Hard to see who can beat him around those weights right now.

GGG @ 175

I see a hellacious war, but one that sees Beterbiev come out on top. Would be a crazy fight, and I don't see Golovkin getting manhandled, but I think it would be too much to ask of him.

Then again, I wouldn't be surprised if GGG can fill out nicely at that weight.

I’m cdn so I just want to see more Beterbiev period. I was a GGG fan, still like watching his fights. But I rewatched his fight vs Proska for the first time since, and I expected to see an elite GGG. Instead I noticed all the flaws then that he makes now. He blocked a lot of punches with his face, and only knows a plan A, a lot like Tito Trinidad. He missed plenty also. It was still a great win, and maybe I’m looking back with a jaundiced eye, but he lacks a ton of polish always has. Beterbiev is rough almost dirty. He takes what he can get away with. I think GGG can fill out and has a good chin. But I don’t see his game with enough wrinkles to get past Beterbiev. I don’t think he gets KOd. Canelo has a better shot to win. He’s gotten better, and his counters and defence are spectacular.

I just told you they had ibf weigh in rules meaning kov weighed in at 185 the morning of the fight as he was required to do,he came in at the limit of 185,its common sense he gained at least 10-20 lbs between morning of fight to past midnight when it took place.

So, basically you can't prove it. You're just assuming he weighed 200lbs "because he has the frame for it"?

Bivol- Beterbiev is the fight to be made at 175

GGG has zero pedigree at LHW, noone can predict he wins.
