    If I was to say a clean KO then Julian jackson if he caught anyone with a defence like GGGs clean then they are going to sleep, no questions.

    It’s like he made a deal with the devil, he touched opponents and they went into some sort of trance like state

    Two completely different fighters, Hagler would hit Gennady far more often and far cleaner than he did Duran

    If hagler would've applied more pressure, I think he could've stopped Duran. Especially in a rematch.

    Hearns? Hawk? Plenty of power.

    Jackson and Robinson on accumulation. There's also the likes of mccalum, Benn and mcclellan to consider, we haven't seen ggg in against anyone with their level of power (although some, like lemiux have been close) .

    Roy is the obvious answer.

    Speed and power but with great unpredictability.

    GGGs chin is granite, and he knows how to survive when he is in trouble.
    I think the person to do it would have to be someone that sets traps rather than just someone with power. McLellan survived Jackson's bombs and knocked him out, GGG does the same. Roy Jones could do it but if he was winning by boxing he would remain cautious and win a wide UD.

    What I have in mind is what an old Sugar Ray Robinson did to Fullmer especially but to a lesser extent Graziano, LaMotta and Turpin. Condition them to one thing before surprising with something unexpected that ends with them on the floor (apart from Lamotta).

    Archie Moore could do the same, as could Ezzard Charles. Their middleweight versions.

    Someone like Juan Roldan could possibly drop Golovkin. Golovkin's been hurt before; he's just very good at hiding it and riding it out.

    Did Hearns and Golovkin punched you in your face or from where exactly you know who punched harder?
    Stupid Thread. Every post is pointless because no one of your oldschool fighters will ever face golovkin.

    The answer is: EVERBODY could knockdown GGG, when he makes a mistake. End of story. Nobody is
    indestructible, especially your beloved mythical oldschool fighters. All these guys are not as near as good as you people want them to be.

    An incomparable phantom set against an 37year old ggg is just laughable.
