Comments Thread For: Hopkins Confident He Would Beat Golovkin - Explains How!

[Sugar Adam Ali]

Interesting...Pavlik is no near GGG and was able to weather the storm. GGG has a better chin and more power so how do you come up with that theory? Taylors claim to fame was beating an aging fighter....what did he do after that?

Styles make fights..

Taylor had huge power, and would by far be the best fighter Golovkin has ever faced.. Taylor can put Golovkin out of he lands flush, or at least do serious damage.. Pavlik and froch both showed heart.. Golovkin has never faced adversity in the ring vs a top level guy.. We have no idea how he will react.

Prime taylor has more of a chance of beating ggg than any current middleweight..

Thats the thing GGG hasnt fought anyone within a bulls roar of Bhop , you will see what Im saying if he fought Ward , Hopkins has fought overall much better fighters .

Look at Bhops resume and look at Gs , no comparison and WW Brook is Gs best opponent , there are a number of guys on Hopkins resume that would mop the floor with all of Gs opponents .

Like who? Jones, Kovalev, Calzaghe, Taylor? He lost to all of them....handily. GGG is dong the same thing Hopkins did, cleaning out his division while he still can. When the time comes GGG too will move up. Dont get me wrong, Hopkins is a great fighter and had an awesome career but he beat the smaller guys and lost to the big names.

Taylor and Hopkins can both fight off the back foot as well as come forward. Both of these guys are a really BAD style matchup for Bumlovkin.

You dont know that for sure. GGG still has the best chin and most power out of the three. All it takes one shot from GGG and both of those guys are out cold.

He may have a good shot but how can you say GGG has shown no heart when he had all those amateur fight and almost 40 pro fights. Never down in his career, how guys can say that? Lets be fair here.

He has never been in real danger.. What happens if taylor lands the same blows that Brook did.. Ggg would be in a world of hurt... How he reacts we don't know..
I'm not saying ggg has no heart, but we really don't know either way.. But what is certain is that taylor always made guys walk thru hell to beat him

GGG holds no advantages apart from punch power and is a pretty small middleweight overall, Hopkins was a monster at 160, he had the speed and reflexes of a middleweight in the frame of a super middleweight or light heavyweight, he was a freak of nature to be honest. I could definitely see GGG getting stopped in the latter part of the fight after taking a sustained beating.

GGG is one of the best middleweights of the last 20 years, but Hopkins belongs with the top 5 middleweights of all time, there is a difference. I see this already but in time - you will retract too.

Hopkins was a KO machine in his prime. Bernard KO's ALL of Bumlovkin's KO streak opponents with ease...

When it comes to age, GGG is way ahead of where b-hop was at 34.

Compare B-hops resume at 34 to GGG. It's not fair to compare his now, he didn't even get the big fights until mid 30's too. Until beating Tito everyone said he hadn't best anyone, which wasn't exactly true then, as it isn't for GGG now.

Hopkins has the W over Glen Johnson and the Road Warrior is better than *anyone* on Bumlovkin's resume.

The only guys B-hop beat at MW who were in GGG's class are jones (lost) and Taylor (list twice).

Tito and De La Hoya were good, but they were never real MW. Not that I don't give b-hop credit, but GGG at MW is way more dangerous than either of those two at MW.

Trinidad's KO win over Joppy is better than any single win on Bumlovkin's resume...

[Nay_Sayer]

Not even B-hop believes he'd wash GGG. No one in history is going walk through GGG at MW. He'd lose to some greats, at least if I judged his career now. But no one will make it easy. GGG is too good.

LMAO

LOTS of guys who've come thru MW division would have mopped the floor with Bumlovkin. Right off the top of my head;

Hagler
Hearns
Jones jr
Hopkins
Toney
McClellan
