Difference between GGGs and Kovalevs power?

[Citizen Koba]

I know better why I don't like their style, believe it.
In their perosna is nothing really bothering or bad for me so that's not logical that I don't like them as persons.
And it also nothing has to do with race since I'm white as well (okay GGG is half Asian but still...)

I have to accept your preference of styles but find it weird that you seem to recognise few differences between these two guys who both have very indivdual styles - Kovalev very much the mover, who uses great mobility (for a LHW) to control range and utilise his arsenal principally from mid range or the outside and Golovkin the quintessential closer who uses calculated and constant pressure to control his opponents and intelligently reduce their countering options to a few, predictable alternatives.

Ain't wanting to patronise but you might appreciate the individuality of both if you took the time.

I think their power is similar but its true that Kovalev doesn't even look like hes trying to punch hard.

GGG is my favorite in the sport though. To me, his combinations are a thing of beauty and very unique. He is smart, creative, and always in attack mode.

Agreed. GGG and Kovalev are quite different in their approach to boxing and punching. Walters and Kovalev have more in common, as Nicholas fights like a slower, flat footed version of Sergey.

Thurman also delivers his punches somewhat like GGG but Keith is one-dimensional with his offense but at least has the speed which was mentioned...

I agree. To me it's not even close, kovalev hurts guys with almost every punch. He showed incredible skill in the Hopkins fight along with power. He's the best right right now, period.

Kovalev flicks out a little jab and the opponent takes a knee. GGG breaks up with haymaker type punches every time he throws. It really comes down to 2 doses of the juice compared to 1 dose.

Kovalev is literally better in every aspect of the game IMO. And thats not a shot at GG, I like him and think he's a very good fighter, just not at the level of a guy like Kovalev. Time will tell though. GGG needs some opponents. Kovalev will have two guys that trump anyone on GGG's resume soon.

I disagree ... GGG technique is scary. His amateur pedigree is a testament to that.
