    Modern Strawberry flavoured casein protein shakes and Millennial gluten-free diet makes me favour Golovkin's power over Marciano's.

    Well his single leg takedown is undeniably better than Marciano's.

    some of the stuff i read in this thread is SURREAL. GGG hitting harder than povetkin. 180lb Jacobs took his best overhand right(and another one) and got up without being hurt. Do you think he would get up from Povetkins best right hand? Marciano hitting harder than lewis and wlad??? Im sorry have the people saying this even sparred with intensity against guys of different sizes before? Some one mentioned what bob foster said about HW punching power vs LHW and he's spot on.

    No one hit harder than the legendary Marciano, especially a middleweight.

    Let Golovkin actually knock out someone decent first.

    Who's he knocked out? Brook, Murray? Lemieux?

    I thought the Golovkin hypetrain had been permanently derailed vs Jacobs.

    You call that Golovkins best overhand right?
    It was an out of position tap on the jaw that folded him like a beach chair.

    Funny thread...Marciano was a heavyweight, plus considered among the hardest hitting in history...In middleweight Guys like Julian Jackson and Nigel Benn, hit harder than Golovkin....In terms of power in the middleweight division, GGG isnt the greatest, only the latest of his kind.....

    :risas3: A win with a KD is a "derailment"? No. Unless you think that going the distance for the first time in 23 fights is being 'exposed' ... which is laughable.

    No, the difference is Marciano did incredible damage with imperfect punches. He put guys down with punches that weren't typically knockout punches for other fighters. And when he did score with a perfect punch, it was usually lights out.

    Pull Golovkins ball bag off you eyes.

    He lost that fight and very clearly.

    That fight showed him for what he is, a one dimensional slugger feasting on subpar opposition. With no hint of a plan b.

    First time he fights a life body, suddenly the invincibility cloak disappears.

    Jacobs got robbed.

    Speaking of 23 fights, so what? Wilder did 30 and something? Its easy beating up bums.

    Gtfoh.

    This is fan stuff cause trust me I've seen Abel Sanchez questioning if his power would translate through 168 upwards
