I think Ken made a good point about Golovkin's boxing skills, so much have been made about his power that they forget that he can box well too..
Kenny Porter Says 'Golovkin Schools Canelo'

Most of the guys who fight him don't say much about his power, what they talk about is his precision. Have seen interviews with Rosado, Macklin, and Lemieux where they've said that.Comment

True.. In Macklin's interview he shows how Golovkin closes the gap all of a sudden & applies pressure by constantly being in front of you.. I think guys who have faced him say that he has like thudding power but not the strongest puncher they have been with but its the precision of the punches & the accumulation that eventually wears them down..Comment

That's the thing. People think GGG is just this brutal power puncher. Well he is, but he's so much more that we forget about. He had a great amateur career and could box if he needs to. Call it a back up plan if you will, but he just hasn't had to because he blows everyone out of the water
If Canelo ever had the balls to really face him while he's not an old man, GGG can do it all. It's up to him to decide. He can **** with Canelo if Canelo truly wants to try that, and if Canelo tries to apply some boxing against GGG, GGG knows how to handle himself and could easily outbox Canelo or just cut off the ring and get closer to land his power punches.
I can't see Canelo beating GGG if any style matchup. Power vs power or boxing vs boxing.Comment

There was a video on YouTube where Murray broke down how GGG applies his pressure, it was a really good break down I wish I could find it.True.. In Macklin's interview he shows how Golovkin closes the gap all of a sudden & applies pressure by constantly being in front of you..
