the guy reportedly hits harder than kovalev who is separated from king GiGi by 2 weight classes. when you watch his media workouts or any videos where he's hitting a heavybag or mitts, his punches sound like fireworks. i don't see how it's possible to hit harder than a guy who fights at a higher weight class, who's also known for being a monstrous puncher. someone explain
I saw a vídeo in tstreet facebook, where he is working with some weights and strentghtening his wrists. But those weights were massive, the guy is really a beast
Are you retarded? That's two fights. I clearly said Macklin and Nobuhiro. Holy **** you're dumb.
And actually, if you count 14 fights, that would be 3 one-hit KOs by Golovkin adding Lajuan to the list.

If you want to count that as a one-punch KO, that's on you.
And please don't try and sell Lajuan Simon as a legit opponent; if that's the case, you may as well add another two bodies to Danny's body count.
If you watched the fight, you would've seen Golovkin eat a punch, just before Geale ate a punch and went down, with Geale getting back to his feet, walking enough to have his legs under him, and quitting.
If that's your definition of a one-punch KO, there's no need to continue the conversation.
A monstrous puncher never gave an opponent the option to simply quit on the fight; a monstrous puncher erases an opponent.
Most of Tyson's opponents got back up too, doesn't mean they weren't separated from their senses.
Congrats, you found the one fight where Golovkin one-punched anyone since he came of any importance.
one out of 14 fights, right. some power.

Stoppages versus actual KOs, with Garcia likely facing the stiffer competition.
hilarious to see you try and turn Golovkin into a young Mike Tyson. lol
Though you're being too dismissive, there's a legitimate point to what you're saying. His power is mostly cumulative, in sitting down on his punches and using good form. A guy like Kahn can do that (dropping Maidana) but what prevents him from doing so as often as Golovkin? Well, competition comes into play there. Because of GGG's shyt comp you can make an argument that everyone looks incredible in the face of weak competition. People say Calzaghe had no power but he finished more guys than Golovkin has! I do think that GGG does have higher than average power, mostly because of his form. But, he's landing it on dead wood so it's hard to really gauge it. His his lack of true 1-punch KOs (not gifs of the last punch landed) would severely drop his KO ratio were he to fight high-level guys who aren't as open to hit as journeymen.
GGG = 90%KO
Garcia = 56%KO
Pretty obvious who has more power. :rofl:

Okay you're being sarcastic, there's no way possible you're being serious. Mike Arnaoutis? Rod Salka?
And he didn't finish Khan off with one shot. Didn't Khan survive like a whole round after being clocked?
Danny ALMOST put Khan out with one shot; short clock allowed Khan to escape the 3rd round, but any time Danny landed after that, Khan was significantly affected.
Again, you look at Golovkin's last 10 fights, and you see him only one-punch one guy; for a guy who's supposed to be this monstrous puncher, how is that justifiable? It's not like Golovkin has been put in with rugged monsters either.
Garcia put out Salka, Morales, Khan, and Mike Arnaoutis, all with single shots (Morales and Arnaoutis were likely both shopworn by that point, but neither guy was seen as some chinny fighter set to be flattened by a single shot); the Theophane fight, I'd imagine, could be considered the first step up.
Now look at Golovkin's resume.

I'm saying that Garcia's power at 140 was far more evident than Golovkin's power has ever been at 160.
I've never heard of a monstrous puncher who has never failed to actually one-punch an opponent.

Geale??.... **** up you hatee

Ishida and Macklin?
Honestly the only fighter Garcia one punches kayoed was Erik Morales and it took him 2 fights to do it against a way past prime fighter.
To be honest Garcia not even a power puncher, he has like 55% KO ratio and his last legit knockout was like 4 years ago.
And no I don't consider Rod Salka a legit opponent.
Garcia put out Salka, Morales, Khan, and Mike Arnaoutis, all with single shots (Morales and Arnaoutis were likely both shopworn by that point, but neither guy was seen as some chinny fighter set to be flattened by a single shot); the Theophane fight, I'd imagine, could be considered the first step up.
Now look at Golovkin's resume.
To whoever said he doesn't hit hard because you don't see him knocking guys clean out, well a lot of the reason is because he switches up the power of his shots a lot while setting guys up. He doesn't always put everything behind the shots, very rarely actually. Some smart fighters often change how much velocity they're throwing shots with when pressuring a guy in the ring, it keeps the opponent confused and flustered because they don't know what's coming next. Golovkin seems to do this a lot. Also it doesn't give the opponent chance to get familiar with the power, then he will land some heavier shots now and again that they might not see or expect coming and they're the ones that hurt, even if he isn't putting all his power into it. Quite a lot of times in boxing you see fighters start taking hard shots better as the fight goes on, even if the shots hurt them early and it's usually because there's little variation in the power so the fighter can sometimes get used to it.
This is what intelligent pressure fighters like him do. He doesn't need to go in and put everything into every punch. But he can end a fight with one shot too when he sees the opening present itself, as he has done plenty of times.
Mayweather went 27-0 with 21 KO's at SFW. You look at that record and who he knocked out and you would think, wow that's a pretty powerful guy. Then you see Floyd at 135 and already his power is taken a lot better by the bigger guys, at 147 you could pretty much see everyone taking the once powerful Floyd Mayweather's punches pretty well.
In other words, boxers can be pretty powerful when they first start, but as they move up and fight bigger, better guys, you'll see a lot more decisions. GGG is slightly, and just seemingly, more powerful at 160 than Floyd was at 130, but it's the same concept. I say seemingly because Floyd knocked out a top 5 P4P Diego Corrales and a Lineal champion in Hernandez, while GGG doesn't have that type of opposition around him.
