    Yes, he can be KO'ed but only after prolonged beating. I think the guy that has the most chances to KO him in the middleweight division is Sergiy Derevyanchenko. I think Charlo and Jacobs are harder punchers than Derevyanchenko but they don't have his engine and can't throw so much power punches in combinations as he does.

    Answer to this question is also yes.
    Many of them could do that, if only he didn’t move/roll but most importantly pressure and punch ‘em.

    1. Golovkin is only half-Russian (and half-Korean).

    2. Russians don't have the best chins. Kovalev was badly hurt by light hitting former SMW Andre Ward. Alexander Alexeev was knocked out plenty of times. Kudryashov was brutally KTFO'ed by Yunier Dorticos. Troyanovsky was knocked out cold in 40-seconds by unknown fighter with 50% KO's only on his record. Maskaev had probably the worst chin among all the heavyweight champions in boxing history - he was knocked out 7 times. Of course, some Russians (Povetkin, Lebedev, Valuev) have/had very good chins, but a lot of others didn't.

    Silly argument.

    Matt Korobov was never down or out in over 300 amateur fight - sparked out in 6 when he met Any Lee in a pro ring

    How many times was Rigo down or out as an amateur? None? Is he impervious to being stopped too? :facepalm:
    When he turned pro he was getting floored by jabs.

    Silly only if you take it out of context. I did write that no one is immune to being KO’d.

    In Golovkins case, he’s never been down or out thanks to his footwork, rolling with punches when needed and his chin.
    He may very well get sparked few years from now but it’s still highly unlikely.

    He did not look happy taking Jacob’s hits.

    I agree he has a good chin. But definitely stoppable.

    Canelo also appears to have a good chin.

    You claimed thats its extremely unlikely he is susceptible to a stoppage loss and used his amateur record to back up your claim.
    I ask you is Rigo also immune to a knockout loss because he was never stopped in 400 amateur fights??

    I clearly said everyone can be KO’d, then proceeded by saying it’s extremely unlikely GGG will get sparked and his record serves as a proof of receiving tons of shots flush on the chin and not going down.

    Is there a reason you’re being awkward or it just happens naturally?


    To answer your question, El Chacal will rather quit on the stool than get KO’d but you might as well throw Mayweather in the mix - another fighter who’s trigger happy, always on his front foot chasing and pressuring, while getting hit flush on regular basis by guys with legit power.

    Out of 160 and 168 i think one man can knock him out and that's George Groves. He may not be elite but i consider his body punching elite. I think more than likely it would end in decision but i give him the best crack at koing GGG.

    I don't think Deryvachenko as of yet has shown he's elite. He's a bit hook happy and short. I mean i don't think style wise that's a problem for GGG but who knows. Golovkin is getting older.

    Saunders hits harder than given credit for. He's a good mover with a good boxing brain but i don't think he'd ko Golovkin most likely win a decision on points experiencing some tough moments trying to evade Golovkin's jab whilst he cuts the ring off on Saunders.
