Is there anyone that can beat Golovkin?

Many would say a sharp no - As we've seen over the last 10 years nothing short of a master class in specific fights against David Lemieux, Daniel Stevens, Martin Murray and Kell Brook just to name a few.

Almost everyone that I've spoken to on the subject of the Middleweight Division King has said that his power cannot be beaten. It's also been said that his tremendous aggressive style fits well together with one of the best jabs in boxing. The most feared man in boxing is still going strong at the age of 34, with 36 fights unbeaten- 33 by KO!

Are there any fighters that can stop this man?! Some say Eubank Jr, some say Saunders and most say Canelo. There's many more you could add to the mix which would make a good could of mega fights to look forward to.

Eubank Jr has said in many interviews that he can and will beat Triple G easily. With his quick speed and pace, not forgetting his stamina I think he would definitely be tested when it comes to Golovkin. Personally I think Eubank Jr is a star that's been overshadowed by the past of his fighting father who doesn't let his son take centre stage. I'm certainly looking forward to seeing what happens!

Billy joe Saunders I think is a great fighter when he's actually fighting and not taking time out, it's hard to get back into fight mode from such a long break of 8 months, which you noticed when he got in the ring with Artur Akavov on 3rd Dec. He's a fighter that shows true grit, determination and a tricky south paw that could pose a threat to Triple G.

Canelo is one of my favourite fighters in the division, with his body shots should be one of the biggest weapons to use against Triple G. Not only will it slow down the Kazak, but it can potentially set-up a finishing blow once the opportunity opens itself. This fight is proberly for me the most exciting out of the 3 as the experience and power of both the fighters will and I am sure pose to be an amazing fight in the near future.
