    Past or present

    Assuming GGG had one free shot, name fighters that wouldn't get KTFO. (Remember GGG's not only the GOAT mw puncher, he hits as hard as a HW, brutalizes hw's and cruisers in sparring on regular basis and hits way harder than Povetkin, according to one of Povetkin's former sparring partners)

    GGG has all the time in the world to load up his humongous power in one single shot, and add his trademark body shifting technique to it, to make his bonecrushing punch even more devastating

    some of the few fighters that could probably take it might be

    George Chuvalo
    Oliver Mccall
    Vitali Klitschko

    who else?

    And get right back up. He couldn't knock Stevens or Rosado out with one shot, you need to get a grip too.

    these nostalgists and GGG haters are playing dumb or deluding themselves

    most professional fighters would be able to stop their opponents if they knew they could land a full shot with no defense.

    specially someone who punches as hard as GGG, we're talking about most probably the MW GOAT puncher here

    remember that idiot Nate Campbell on that fight where he offered out his chin, look what happened.

    only a select few would be able to take a free, full powered shot from GGG. and they'd be among the who's who of ATG chins

    not many fighters are gonna stand up to a free shot standing still with their hands down and absolutely nothing to take the sting out, doesn't even matter if they are a renowned puncher.
