Klitschko: I’m Glad GGG isn’t in my division!

Wladimir Klitschko couldn't help but be impressed with Gennady Golovkin's latest performance against Martin Murray.

Yesterday, Wladimir Klitschko took to twitter to give his thoughts on GGG's stoppage victory over Martin Murray this past Saturday. That fight marked Gennady's 19th consecutive knockout victory, something even Mike Tyson was only able to attain in his early career against lesser competition.

Did you guys see the @GGGBoxing fight this past weekend? WOW! I'm glad he's not in my division!

Could Klitschko actually be worried about GGG beasting his way all the way to the heavyweight division? Undoubtedly not, he's pretty clearly just showing some admiration for the guy. But given all the tales of Gennady whooping on heavyweights in his years of sparring, it's actually kind of a fun thing to think about. Are there heavyweights out there that GGG could legitimately beat? Probably some, but of course he'd have a whale of a time trying to deal with Wladimir's 7+ inch height, and 10+ inch reach advantages.

So tell me about it fight fans, how high could Gennady climb up the scales and still be a legitimate threat?
