    Could well do,even Abel Sanchez has said GGG is more of a accumulative puncher as appose to that one punch knock out tackle we saw last night,bloody frightening the noise those punches made.

    possibly but Golovkin did get Rubio out faster and Rosado went about the same for both

    possibly similar power

    Depends which punch and what kind of power we are talking about.

    Lemiuex is the harder puncher, but Golovkin is the better puncher. He's a better fighter than Lemiuex overall.

    Golovkin has more punches he can hurt you with, while Lemiuex mostly just has hooks.

    Leumiux is more dynamic and explosive with his offence, a little like a mini Tyson.

    Ggg is more methodical and measured with his thudding punches. Ggg also has more variety and I particularly like the knuckle punches to the top of Rubio's temple. It's hard to do to a taller opponent.

    Hard to say who punch harder as they are different punchers, but so far leumeux is the only opponent that gotten ggg respect is his fight plan.

    He has more explosive power, but GGG has much more accurate, better timed shots

    Difficult to tell. They both can dig and it's one of them you could kick around for post after post and it ends up being a subjective thing.

    Lemieux likes to set up that left hook with the right hand and has pretty fast hands, but GGG, aside from already being pretty strong for his size, uses the best leverage on his punches. To add to that, he is an underrated combination puncher and sets up shots beautifully to where if you go toe to toe with him, he'll usually finish the exchange, and usually with a counterpunch too. I think he does hit harder than Lemieux, but doesn't rely on it as much. Stevens might have underestimated Lemieux's power and paid for it.

    No, he just landed a flush shot right on the button.
