    This guy is a beast. I know he is not a huge mw. But the way he outclasses his opponents im convinced he would beat any of the smw out there. Ive heard he hits as hard as a hw. Sparring partners say he has freakush power. So whats your opinion?

    Big GGG fan, but its too early to tell. But I think he does. He's a cool operator he doesn't rush for the ko.

    Golovkin Hits Harder Than Povetkin/Wach/Perez Says CW Sparring Partners
    Doug Fischer, Steve Kim, and Julian Jackson all watched Golovkin sparring two CW's in preperation for his Proksa fight and here is some parts from Fischer's article with quotes from his sparring partners. The entire thing is worth a read.

    (Note - Imoesiri fought at HW in WSB with no headgear under pro rules and had a close fight with 2x Olympic Silver Medallist Clemente Russo)

    “He’s a f__king beast,” said Coyne, a 20-0 cruiserweight prospect who has recently dropped down to light heavyweight. “He’s been running guys out of here. Nobody under 175 pounds will spar with him.

    “I’ve sparred with heavyweights who can punch, including Mariusz Wach and Mike Perez, nobody has hit me as hard as Golovkin. His power is out of this world.”

    "Golovkin stunned Imoesiri into the ropes with a lead right midway through the round, prompting the amateur standout fire back a four-punch combination with impressive hand speed. However, Golovkin blocked the shots and pushed the bigger man back into the ropes"

    "In rounds three and four, Golovkin kept Imoesiri’s back to the ropes and tormented the young man with an assortment of compact crosses and hooks to the body and head. The final minute of the fourth round was particularly brutal, but Imoesiri says he’s becoming accustomed to the punishment.

    “The dude can hit, I’m still getting used to it,” said Imoesiri, who like Coyne, is delightfully bright and articulate. “It’s crazy. I sparred with [undefeated WBA heavyweight beltholder] Alexander Povetkin and he never hurt me like this guy.

    “I must have done 50 rounds while in camp with Povetkin and it was three and half weeks before he hit me with something that made me hold on. With Golovkin I was ready to get out of the ring 45 seconds into our first round of sparring. He hit me with two lefts to the body in the identical spot and had me doubled over. I got through it but it’s hard to defend against 6-inch punches with that much pop. He backs me into a corner with just a jab.

    “And it seems like he does it effortlessly.”

    “That’s why I have to put him in with big guys,” said Sanchez. “He’s too relaxed when he spars with middleweights or junior middleweights. They can’t hurt him. It’s so easy doesn’t bother to defend himself. He gets silly.

    “We have a saying in my gym: ‘There’s no free shots.’ I don’t want my fighters letting opponents hit them. So sparring with the bigger guys makes him work his defense – to a degree.”

    I got the feeling my old HouseofBoxing and MaxBoxing cohort believes Sanchez by the look on his face after the sparring session.

    Kim sat on a stool in front of the ring with a look of disbelief.

    “He literally wore this big guy down,” said Kim, who isn’t easily impressed. “I don’t think either guy could have gone one more round with him.”

    Ryan Coyne...heh I wouldn't trust him as far as I could throw him...

    We've yet to see GGG beat a decent Middleweight, ask this question again after the Proksa fight.

    the hell? I'm a big Golo fan but he wouldn't get through 168 let alone 175. Hopkins would even outbox him at this point.
