Both are great finishers, but I think GGG is the more impressive puncher. GGG rarely over commits on his punches, is almost always in great position and has great balance. The fact the guy can generate the amount of power he does without loading up is kind of crazy. He is more than capable of highlight reel knockouts, he has several, but he just is'nt going to allow himself to be put in a bad spot by trying to put to much zip on every punch. Its part of what I really like about him. He has the kind of power where he could just fall in love with it and just blast away, but he chooses to be paitent and systematicly break you down.
Its debateable who is actually the bigger puncher, but I prefer how GGG goes about his business in the ring.
I'd disagree there actually who are these top fighters that kovalev has knocked out? Pascal? Cleverly? -- I'd argue that Murray/Lemieux are AT LEAST on a par with anybody kovalev has knocked out to date and if anything when he has faced slick/tricky opponents they have shown they can go the distance against kovalev (Hopkins/Chilemba) I would say that Golovkin has more facets to his game and is more dynamic than kovalev.
I'd definitely put even the past prime Pascal on a higher level than any of Golovkin's opponents.
On the others you may be right, they are similar level to Golovkin's opponents but Pascal makes a difference.
and I doN't think Golovkin is any more dynamic than KOvalev, Kovalev uses more movement to his punches than Golovkin. They have more motion, more dynamism.
Golovkin slightly has the higher percentage but Kovalev knocked out better opposition than Golovkin
also it seems Kovalev can hurt people more with single punches than Golovkin
so I'm going with Kovalev

... "superior KO artist"?... I don't know.
But I know that Golovkin hit the cleaner power punches and he holds the best (stiff) jab in the sport to date.

so I'm going with Kovalev
Golovkin by a mile imo, Sergey has more punching power but he is way more robotic in his offense, hes only effective @ mid/long range, and struggled to land when meeting an opponent who moved alot (Chilemba) but as soon as Kovalev landed flush you saw how close he was @ koing Chilemba with that one punch, but Golovkin has much better variety on his punches and uses more angles, is more unpredictable and punches on the go, Sergey is more stationary
Kovalev more power imo
Golovkin better finisher

Agreed. I think Golovkin is the better technician, but it is very close.
