    In roughly 400 fights amateur and pro Gennadiy Golovkin reported to have never once been rocked in his storied career. Are there any MWs who had a chance of cracking Gennadiy’s granite mandible?

    I wouldn't bet on anyone. Maybe someone like Hagler could cut him up and TKO him, but no money on that happening either.

    GGGs fight night weight is in the 170s I would send Bob Foster and bet the house. Archie Moore might decide not to KO him but if he forced the issue it would happen and Ezzard Charles could make it happen to.

    No MW, ever, should be favoured to defeat GGG by KO over 12 or 15. If it was meaningful, I would pick Robinson.

    The “G-man” could likely be the “Middleweight” to KO GGG if he was lucky.

    Maybe. He wasn't able to do it to Benn, but he was past his best at that point.

    RJJ of the Thomas Tate fight perhaps (but I wouldn’t bet my house on it either)

    Roy was really punching explosively at that time and that plus a natural size and massive speed advantage would pose a serious question to GGG’s (and any middleweights) chin.

    Man I doubt it. But I guess a monster puncher with a punch he doesn't see coming might do it.

    I can’t see it.
    GGG was like Hagler in that you had to rack your brains to try to identify a moment in a fight where he looked even momentarily shaken up.
