If Golovkin participated in WBSS SMW tournament

How do you rate his chances? I see him winning it after his Jabocs and Canelo fights.

Before last night I'm not sure I would've picked him but his chin and work rate would cause chaos I would love to eee him against eubank the work rates between them would make for immense action

I consider him to be a better fighter than anybody that's currently in that 168 pound Tournament so I think he'd do well in it. He'd probably win it.

GGG from a few years ago would've crushed his enemies and saw them driven before him. This one would likely beat everyone still. The SMW tournament looks rather poor from a talent perspective. I was actually thinking Callum Smith might be the truth in all that, but he's more of a bust. Groves is probably the best fighter in that tournament and his stamina is atrocious. He would've wilted under that pressure and granite chin.

i think he is too small for smw . canelo looked bigger than him in the ring last night and it didn't look like anything he hit canelo with hurt him .at his age i don't think it would be a good idea , he looked to have just lost a little something against canelo. someone mentioned all the missed hooks when canelo moved off to his right from the ropes ,very unlike him in other fights. in the early rounds i can understand it, but i thought he would nail canelo with that shot as the fight progressed and he tired.

i don't think Canelo looked bigger and Saul got a granite chin too.
