Who hits harder Golovkin or Kovalev?

[mathed]

Golovkin P4P punches harder than Kovalev, also GGG has apparently knocked him down in sparring, Abel has said numerous times Kovalev was too hesistant to engage Gennady in sparring due to his power. Finally, there are multiple interviews (in Russian) which Kovalev speaks very highly of Golovkin and his power.

It's quite obvious, at least to me that Golovkin > Kovalev in most categories, including power.

Has to be Kovalev at 175lbs. Golovkin is only 160 pounder, we don't know if his power will bring up with him at higher weight classes.

Kovalev killed a guy right? .............../thread

What? All evidence points to Golovkin being P4P a bigger puncher. Did you honestly expect the poll to not be based off P4P?

If it's not based off P4P shall we also ask who hits harder Nointo Donaire or Mike Tyson?

Kovalev for me but I think GGG is more versatile

I've seem what Kovalev does to guys who cut weight to make 175....I'm pretty sure what he does to a guy who cuts to make 160......

Kovalev punches harder. No question about it




There's no such thing as "P4P"

Force = mass x acceleration

Why do you think heavyweights knock each other out so frequently? The more weight you add, as long as it doesn't detriment acceleration too much, the more force you generate.

What the **** is even the point in this thread if it's not based off P4P? GGG = 90% KO, Kovalev 88%, game over. Not to mention dropping Kovalev in sparring + his comments on how special GGG's power is.

I know you and mathed are Kovalev supporters, but bring Kovalev down to 160, or GGG to 175 and your boy is getting smashed in both categories, in technique and power.

Actually Kovlaev has a higher KO%


His "draw" on his record was really a KO. Watch the video on YouTube vs. Grover Young



Kovlaev was robbed of the highest KO % of all titlejolders In boxing

Punch lands when the referee is in the way, looks like a KO, but unless there's a different angle then that's that.

Good job ignoring everything else though.

Lots of clueless posters here. Saying Kovalev hits harder because he is bigger and a light heavy weight, absolute rubbish. Both GGG and Killa Kov are hard punchers but Golovkin is clearly the harder puncher based on their sparring sessions.

Golovkin literally ran Kovalev out of Sparring and Kovalev did not enjoy being in thesame ring with Golovkin. It is also evident that Golovkin has a much better chin than Kovalev. Let me spell it out......

Golovkin took Kovalevs punche with 16 oz gloves and head gear comfortable.

On the other hand, Kovalev was troubled by Golovkins punches with 16 oz gloves with head gear.

I like both fighters but bringing size into this topic is not relevant at all. Didnt Cottos destruction of the larger Sergio Martinez how that size does not equal power every time, technique is much more important. Martin Murray who is about 6"1 and probably around 175 lbs on fight night did not hurt thesame Martinez that small Cotto faced and destroyed in a brutal fashion.
