David Benavidez vs. Gennady Golovkin at 168

[aboutfkntime]

David too big too strong but wouldn’t mind seeing it.

Doubt ggg moves up tho.

just what I said

agree with both points, that fight will never happen

[UNBANNED]

Benavidez TKO

[Thuglife Nelo]

GGG hydrates to 175 easily. It means he’s not going to suffer those extra 8lbs of water during fight week, which would mean GGG could be sharper. His Rolls return fight was his longest layoff and didn’t take it seriously. Derevyanchenko is way faster in footwork than Benavidez. Styles make fights.

The only way I see David being successful is to bully him inside fighting. The long reach jabs from David wouldn’t matter because GGG’s defense parrying jabs or avoiding is A class. GGG would fight like he did against Lemieux but with rejuvenated power because of a lighter drain. Plus GGG at 168 would have a different strength and conditioning regimen as well as diet. Benavidez has got a huge torso. There’s plenty of range for GGG to get his shots in for rib smashing. It could slow down Benavidez’a game.

GGG would have to attack David’s body all night to take the wind out of him for 12 rounds. It could work. All depends how crazy David is if he wants to smother GGG from
The get go and hurt him

Man love the breakdown.
Doesn't matter what posters say about you but your alright with me lol.
Nah best post so far and i agree.

Pointless fight for GGG.

GGG should take the biggest money fights he can get and retire than. Canelo 3 at 168.

[Rip Chudd]

It's going to improve his legacy if he beats a younger, mexican fighter like Benavidez.

He isn't in it for legacy though, heck he said he was in it for all the belts and the lie detector determined that was a lie

[RJJ-94-02=GOAT]

A prime GGG beats him. Gavril out-jabbed Benavidez so imagine what GGG would have done.

Unsure whether this version of GGG has enough left in the tank to beat Benavidez, and unsure whether Benavidez ever makes 168 again tbh.

[aboutfkntime]

Golovkin cannot beat Benavidez

not now, and not then

his limit is... Steve Rolls-level opponents, at 164

we saw the problems he had with Jacobs/Derevy
