    I would have to go with Golovkin. He has a quicker jab and can defeat you with that jab by shooting it all night long without getting tired.

      Golovkin by far. IMO.

        I think Kovalev, but Golovkin is a better all around fighter.

          Kovalev. He'll prove it against Canelo. Golovkins jab didn't bother Canelo at all, Canelo didn't even bother defending it, completely ineffective.

            Kovakev. He KO'd 2 guys with a jab and wobbled an ATG with it.

              However, he had a much higher work rate with his jab both times against Canelo; Which is largely why I thought he won both fights. He was simply busier of the two.

              While on the other hand, Kov has a tendency of gassing in fights which allows his opponents a safe distance in order to connect against him.

                Kovalev since he has more power behind his jab

                  Kovalev has a great left jab but GGG has the best left jab in boxing. Computerbox or what ever it is called have him landing far more jabs per round than any other boxer and his jab is a fast powerful head snapper.

                    Kovalev for sure. He has quicker hands and better timing with it. I mean the man has knocked down and out opponents with it for crying out loud.
