    How does Golovkin hit as hard as he does?

    the guy reportedly hits harder than kovalev who is separated from king GiGi by 2 weight classes. when you watch his media workouts or any videos where he's hitting a heavybag or mitts, his punches sound like fireworks. i don't see how it's possible to hit harder than a guy who fights at a higher weight class, who's also known for being a monstrous puncher. someone explain

    I always assumed he gets a rush of energy from the pre-fight bumming you give him each time out

      Just kidding bro, everyone knows GGG's power is a myth. Ward would walk right through his pitty pat shots and stop him in 1 round.

        Big strong back, huge hands, technique.

        GGG is built a bit like a mini Rocky Marciano with that back and posture.

                It's really weird how Larry and freedom assumed each other's identity on here

                    Strong back, strongest forearms/wrists in boxing.

                    Fights close to his natural weight so he is always healthy and well fed.

                    Comes from an amateur system that actually teaches good technique.

                    Very flexible athlete.

                    And then there's just natural unexplainable power
