    How do you rate his hand speed compared to a average middleweight boxer and to other middleweight champions?

    do you think it's below average, mediocre, above average, good or elite?

    It’s easy to forget how fast GGG was in his younger days. Wouldn’t say this is a prime golovkin, but his jab is very quick and looks lethal here

    To add to that, check out some of his amateur footage, he verges on the speedster territory. Today at 40 he looks slo-mo compared to back then.

    I was going to offer an opinion but I think your post is the gold standard here on the subject
