    the guy reportedly hits harder than kovalev who is separated from king GiGi by 2 weight classes. when you watch his media workouts or any videos where he's hitting a heavybag or mitts, his punches sound like fireworks. :!: i don't see how it's possible to hit harder than a guy who fights at a higher weight class, who's also known for being a monstrous puncher. someone explain

    He knows how to unleash the QI (Chi) in his body when unloading a punch.

    Julian Jackson was known to hit even harder, and he was a same day weighin (light-)middleweight.
    And Shavers is widely recognized as the hardest hitter ever regardless of weightclass... he weighed under 200lbs for most of his HW career.

    So it isn't that special at all.

    Bumlovkin's power is overrated. He's not a true one punch KO artist like other big punchers who have come through 160. McClellan, Jackson, Miranda, Echols - those guys were true one punch KO artists at the weight...

    ward didn't call Floyd out...he said hed fight him at 160....but Floyd said 160 was too far for him and never pursued a fight with anyone at 160....so it was fantasy that would have never happened

    ggg has talked about 168 and pursued other fights there

    he said he would and has tried to secure fights at 168....

    Floyd actually said 160 was too far and never tried to get a fight there....so ward saying it was fantasy..

    well comparing all of their opponents reactions to their punches i'm still sold on golovkin being the hardest puncher of all the middleweight punchers

    he's power comes from great balance and from great punching technique. he also uses he's whole body to generate power

    He just has very good technique and distributes his weight extremely well. It's no black magic or anything
