How does Golovkin hit as hard as he does?

[mathed]

I'm saying that Garcia's power at 140 was far more evident than Golovkin's power has ever been at 160.

I've never heard of a monstrous puncher who has never failed to actually one-punch an opponent.

Garcia put out Salka, Morales, Khan, and Mike Arnaoutis, all with single shots (Morales and Arnaoutis were likely both shopworn by that point, but neither guy was seen as some chinny fighter set to be flattened by a single shot); the Theophane fight, I'd imagine, could be considered the first step up.

Now look at Golovkin's resume.

Okay you're being sarcastic, there's no way possible you're being serious. Mike Arnaoutis? Rod Salka?

And he didn't finish Khan off with one shot. Didn't Khan survive like a whole round after being clocked?

1 out of his last 10 fights. for a monstrous puncher. cong****

Danny ALMOST put Khan out with one shot; short clock allowed Khan to escape the 3rd round, but any time Danny landed after that, Khan was significantly affected.

Again, you look at Golovkin's last 10 fights, and you see him only one-punch one guy; for a guy who's supposed to be this monstrous puncher, how is that justifiable? It's not like Golovkin has been put in with rugged monsters either.

GGG = 90%KO

Garcia = 56%KO


Pretty obvious who has more power.

Stoppages versus actual KOs, with Garcia likely facing the stiffer competition.

hilarious to see you try and turn Golovkin into a young Mike Tyson. lol

Natural leverages and good mechanics.

Though you're being too dismissive, there's a legitimate point to what you're saying. His power is mostly cumulative, in sitting down on his punches and using good form. A guy like Kahn can do that (dropping Maidana) but what prevents him from doing so as often as Golovkin? Well, competition comes into play there. Because of GGG's shyt comp you can make an argument that everyone looks incredible in the face of weak competition. People say Calzaghe had no power but he finished more guys than Golovkin has! I do think that GGG does have higher than average power, mostly because of his form. But, he's landing it on dead wood so it's hard to really gauge it. His his lack of true 1-punch KOs (not gifs of the last punch landed) would severely drop his KO ratio were he to fight high-level guys who aren't as open to hit as journeymen.

Cong****, you found the one fight where Golovkin one-punched anyone since he came of any importance.

one out of 14 fights, right. some power.

Are you ******ed? That's two fights. I clearly said Macklin and Nobuhiro. Holy **** you're dumb.


And actually, if you count 14 fights, that would be 3 one-hit KOs by Golovkin adding Lajuan to the list.

Hits harder than Kovalev? Good joke.
