Golovkin looked lighter on his feet then, more movement from him. Far more methodical now.
If you look back at Golovkin as an amateur he has completely changed his style with Sanchez. As an amateur GGG was a a straight up counterpuncher!
It was Sanchez suggested that he had the tools to become a boxer puncher and that it would translate well to american audiences!
When you gotta go to the amateurs to find a fight that he lost you know you're getting desperate
Haha.... This. Might as well make a master thread where you can post Floyd's amateur losses. Andre wards too... And Wlad. And while you're at it, just about any other pro boxer in the history of boxing with an amateur background- amateur losses
Damn - I remember that fight as well. Gaydarbek was a standout amateur (stopped Lacy, beat Jermain Taylor, Erdei, Njikam)...

He basically understood early that Golovkin had the edge in speed and aggression and used his greater strength and experience to brawl the much younger (he was 27 ggg 22 I think) into an ugly but deserved points victory.
Ain't quite sure what it has to do with your poll options though... I don't think there's a top level living amateur who never lost (even Lomachenko got beaten...once).
Andre Ward was top level, Olympic gold medalist and never lost
