    Golovkin for sure.

    They have two different kinds of power though.

    Canelo is explosive, fast twitch muscle power that fades as the fight goes on.

    Golovkin has that dense bone, sledgehammer kind of power that is the same from round 1 to round 15.

    To use historical references. Canelo has power like Shane Mosley. Golovkin has power like George Foreman. Explosive vs Thudding.

      It's probably GGG. Different type of punching power, like Flicker said.

        The ginger doesn't have one punch ko. You know who has it, Wilder, Julian Jackson, Zarate, McClellan, Tommy Hearns.

            That's an easy question; Of course it's GGG.

              Haven’t been hit by either, so my opinion is useless.

              Triple G, probably.

                Lol.

                Well, being in the ring with both, they both hit really hard.

                Lmfao @ whoever actually answers this thread with a serious reply. Like you’ve been in there with them?

                  Golovkin was an actual puncher. Canelo isn't close to being one. The only difference is hand speed. Canelo has that but nothing else. Well, on his left hook he has speed. All his other shots were much slower.

                    You've got a Welter in Khan moving up to Middleweight. A shot Welter in Baldomir. And lastly a shot Kirkland who had a glass jaw and was out of the ring for 17 months.

                    Have you got anyone his own size that was prime or close to prime where they were fit and strong, ready to go and not sabotaged by Canelo as an example?

                      You made my day, khan, baldomir and Kirkland. You could have found better examples. Khan was outweighed by a least 20 pounds, on top of his glass jaw, Kirkland has to be in the top three on the glass department and Mr. Baldomir was 40 years old and way past his prime. Common son, ginger is not a one punch ko artist. I posted some examples but you don't want to learn.
