        We all knew he had a good chin, however that was just one shot. If you think back to Dorticos-Gassiev fight, Dorticos took several clean, hard shots. It took until the ~10th for his chin to start showing cracks, and many more until he finally cracked. If Canelo takes a few of those, then yeah, that's a great chin.

        Also keep in mind that while Golovkin has been described as heavy handed and having tremendous power, opponents describe his power as thudding, very much unlikely KO artists such as Julian Jackson. Golovkin has heavy hands, you feel every punch, but it is the accumulation and the accuracy that is terrifying, rarely a 1 shot KO.

        Canelo was able to neutralize Golovkin's accuracy, and thus came out of the fight looking good. Let's see which fighters makes the best adjustments for the rematch. If Canelo can find a way to setup and sit on more punches, he can easily hurt Golovkin. If Golovkin can find a way to slow down the fight and connect with more punches, Canelo is going to be in deep trouble.

          bull*****. proven.


          idiots were touting Kovalev as the 1 hitter when he doesn't have any 1 punch KO's.

          GGG has probably the best 1 punch KO selection in boxing right now.

          There isn't a single other p4p fighter right now that has as many contender/championship level 1 punch KO's.


          Simon left hook

          Macklin Left hook body

          Ishida right overhand

          Geal straight right

          Rubio left hook




          those are all 1 punch KOs

            Don't really care what 'idiots' claim regarding Kovalev. They're idiots for a reason.

            Simon doesn't qualify. He's not championship level fighter.
            Maclin, yes, excellent KO. However, to me, that is not 1 punch KO power. That's a terrific liver shot, which is more about technique and accuracy. Same as Liam Smith Canelo. Nobody will claim Canelo has 1 shot KO power.
            Ishida - yup. Only example I agree with.
            Geale - he sprung right back up after the shot and was walking fine. When ref asked him if he wanted to continue, he shook his head.
            Rubio - he also got up without many problems, and even tried to protest the stoppage.

            Here's Murray describing Golovkin's power as thudding. Here's another NSB thread discussing Golovkin's power, with people noting that Golovkin's wins are TKOs, not KOs.

            To me, Golovkin has the potential for a 1 hit KO, but that's not his style. He's very accurate, relentless and heavy handed.

              Canelo is another case that shows a fighter's chin is not fully developed untill around the mid 20s. He got hurt badly early in his career when he was very young and there's no way in hell the same shots that rocked him would hurt him today.

                  Canelo sure retreated an awful lot to have such a "granite" chin.

                    Ok. Forgive me for sounding ignit bro but what do you mean by Sig bet? I have Lara beating Hurd by many rounds on the cards and I have Luis Ortiz taking a nap.
