    Golovkin would spark Price out cold.

    Yeah, well those people are idiots and reflect a tiny minority of fanboys, not the vast majority of logical ones.

    So what they were probably wrong.

    Really is this even worth a thread? It's been done to death.

    I also remember GGG and his team claiming to beat anyone between 154-168 only to refuse Ward at 168 and Canelo at 155.

    Sometimes people use hyperbole to emphasize a point, and that point is that Golovkin punches hard. If you actually took it literal, then I dont know what to tell you.

    :ohno

    Not just knockout heavyweigjts, but KO a prime Mike Tyson! SMFH. Don't get me wrong, I feel a prime G gives hell to most middleweight greats, but I laughed at some of the threads that we're made about G's power and what not!

    Charlie Z's chin is made of Plutonium. Even Wilder couldn't KO him.

    Good luck GGG you bum.

    Golovkin has he power to knock out a light heavyweight, but it is SOB Ward who claims he would easily beat Joshua, I remember when SOB claimed he would knock out both Vitali and Vladimir Klitschko, but he refused to sign a contract! Kovalev beat SOB, but SOB had to own the judges, all three American, referee and boxing commission, in the rematch SOB landed low blows to the testicles and Tony Weeks saw it happen and did nothing except called it a knockout! The decision for the Bowe/Golota fight should be changed to two knockouts for Golota against Bowe, since SOB fans and Weeks claim that low blows are legal..............

    Well wait.

    Are we talking about Golovkin being physically capable of the knockout power to KO some heavyweight?

    Or are we talking about being capable of beating some random heavyweight in an official match via KO?

    Or are we talking about beating good heavies (or cruisers, like Gassiev) in an official match via KO?

    Or what?

    Because it sounds like you’re just referencing knockout power, and in like sparing.

    I have no trouble believing an elite middleweight is capable of knocking out damn near anyone with a good shot.

    And in sparring, who knows what might happen or what the circumstances are.

    I also have no trouble believing an elite middleweight could beat a really shitty heavy in an official match.

    The only ridiculous scenario is an elite middleweight beating an elite heavy or cruiser in an official match. Where they’re both taking it seriously. But it kind of doesn’t sound like that’s what you’re talking about.
