Who hits harder Golovkin or Kovalev?

[TRTboy]

KOvalev is the more concussive puncher. GGG has that thudding/heavy power that wears on guys. Don't get me wrong he can still stop guys with one punch but to me he breaks guys down with his heavy hands rather than take them out with one shot. Meanwhile KOvalev hurts guys bad with one clean shot.

Kovalev snaps his punches more, while GGG looks like he is swinging sledgehammers, a bit slower but heavier. Either way both are devastating punchers.

Golovkin has big fist and is built really solidly. He has that kind of heavy hard hitting power.

Kovalev has more speed and better angles on his punches. Also to note he is a power puncher because of his dementions and build, not because of his particular style.


I definitely think Kovalev is a better puncher with the speed and angles he gets on his punches. He hits you flush and you'd be hard pressed not to be out cold. With Golovkin I think he has more power. You usually see his punches coming and can at least brace yourself for them. But with the non-stop attack by Golovkin, most people aren't durable enough to take that kind of punishment. It's like this, I think it would be more likely that Kovalev would knock someone out cold and give them a concussion. Where is with Golovkin I think he would likely break your face before knocking you out cold.

This! Well said.
