Who hits harder Golovkin or Kovalev?

[Doctor_Tenma]

P4P Im going with GGG. He just stopped guy while he was being hit flush in the face. Don't see that happen often.

Iron Zangief man!

Kovalev ****s harder

[Killer_of_Sheep]

I think its pretty equal.

Kovalev throws more combinations and starts much faster, that's why he get's more early rounds stoppages.

But as for one punch KO. Well, Golovkin seems to have a little big more explosiveness. Kovalev KO'd Sillakh with one punch, but Sillakh always had a shaky chin.

Golovkin ko'd Ishida, Lujuan Simon and now Gaele. All of them who we're never stopped before and rarely really hurt in a fight. Simon went twelve rounds with a prime Arthur Abraham.

Its pretty close.

Slavic fighters are the hardest hitting in history

Kovalev straight annihilates people. I could see him stopping GGG

[Da Machine]

Hard to say. People will want to say Golvkin after tonight, but Kovalev barely looks like he's throwing and guys fly across the ring.

It's pretty even to me right now. TBD.

Also, the knockdowns.

Adama who has never been stopped before went down twice from jabs by Golovkin and after a little left hook wich didn't seem to have much behind it.

The left hood Golovkin landed on Stevens also didn't seem to have much behind it.

Actually Golovkin usually doesn't loads up on his punches, he throws most of them in with meddium force. When he loads up, he misses much more.

Kovalev dropped & stopped a guy with a jab.

Kovalev dropped & stopped a guy with a jab.

So did Golovkin against Adama, a more proven fighter and a very resistent one (never stopped and never really hurt from what i've saw)

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