Who's more skilled, Golovkin or Beterbiev?

[VG_Addict]

Beterbiev and Golovkin are both fighters with aggressive styles and devastating power, but who's more skilled between them?

I say Golovkin, and it's not particularly close. Golovkin has a better jab, better counter-punching ability, better head movement, and is better at using angles.

yes, but Betervieb is a caveman who comes in and destroys little by little, yet, hitting like a Mack truck.

ggg is a very well schooled fighter

He throws different kinds of left hooks to the liver

ggg passed the eye test with flying colors

Golovkin is better at range, Beterbiev is more destructive and better on the inside. Look at the way Beterbiev generates power on his short punches, you don't want to be on the end of those hooks and uppercuts. Golovkin is more skilled and more capable of outscoring Canelo, while Beterbiev is more capable of hurting him. There's a big difference in size between Golovkin and Beterbiev.

Beterbiev has the strangest power I've seen. His punches from range are hard. But he'll shake guys to the core with his short punches on the inside that don't look like much. He was dropping Cloud with 1 inch punches.

GGG is more skilled and fundamentally sound.

GGG is more a boxer-puncher, Beterbiev a flat out pressure fighter.

[TernceBudCharlo]

probably equal

I don't understand where this is coming from that beterbiev is easy to hit, GGG get hit much more, the punch stats are usually pretty accurate

Beterbiev and its by a country mile

You know just because he doesn't move fast and isn't flashy like canelo doesn't meant that he's slow and easy to hit, smh, he's just very efficient with his footwork, uses his hands really well to block punches, is very good at using small/short head movement to get out of the way and just barely make the guy miss, again anyone who says he gets hit a lot DKSAB, Big Marcus browne usually lands against his opponents at will and he only landed 60 punches in 9 rounds against Arthur, Canelo Alvarez gets hit more than this all the time, and Big Marcus Browne is a man who hits at will against any opponent he faces. Canelo got hit way more times against Plant and Plant isn't close to as skilled as Big Marcus.

Beterbiev has good defense, if you disagree you DKSAB.
