    Golovkin power compared to past Middleweights?

    Great puncher but would anyone put his power close to McClellan or Jackson?

    Hard to say considering his opposition

      Not quite. I'd compare his power more with that of Hagler. Maybe a little more than Hagler.

      I'd might compare Kovalev and Adonis to those guys.

        I'd say he should go get a hat made THPE meaning The Hardest Puncher Ever

          Hard to tell. If he fought Jr we'd have a better idea.

            Julian Jackson was a murderous puncher with crippling one shot power. From what I've seen of Golovkin so far he is not in that class.

              Looking at his record, half of Jackson's career was fought at Light-Middleweight.

              4 opponents went 10 rounds with him at 160, and one went 12 rounds with him.

              No one has gone 10 rounds with Golovkin yet, Ouma came closest and was stopped in the 10th.

              No one went 10 with McClellan either until he stepped up to SMW to fight Benn.

                  Hagler for real... I don't see it what so ever. Possibly Monzon.

                    I don't consider his power even close to McClellan or Jackson.
