    If he fights long enough and continues to climb weight classes he probably will get decked

    I suspect he never will either at 175.

    GGG is not an elite puncher.

    Puncher avoidance is a thing but you can't claim someone who has fought GGG twice has never fought a top level puncher. But outside of GGG he hasn't fought many KO artists or legit bangers, especially for someone who has had as many fights as he has

    These can all punch a bit to varying degrees

    GGG
    Jacobs
    Lara can crack a bit with that left hand of his
    Callum Smith
    Bivol has underrated power
    Kirkland
    Angulo
    Cintron

    Prime Kovalev is about as top level as it gets but he was washed and threw pitty pats and half power shots all night

    I do not consider GGG to be an elite puncher. In his prime he was a pressure fighter. A very good puncher, but not a great puncher.

    I believe if there was 15 rounds, Bivol would dropp Canelo several times. He was tired, his stamina was not elite. So if he fights someone with crazy stamina and workrate, eventually he gets dropped.

    He's absolutely an elite puncher. There's an awful lot of fighters, more so than any other puncher I can think of in recent years, who will tell you otherwise. He might not be a Julian Jackson or Lemieux type of one punch KO artist but he hits ridiculously hard.

    Absolutely agree with that...just not quite sure he's talented enough to land it on canelo....no disrespect to Smith who I really like...just canelos abit of a slippery fcker and Smith's offense is sometimes abit basic

    It depends on how you define elite puncher. I do not think Golovkin punches as hard as Lemiuex or as hard as Smith, Beterbiev or Wilder p4p. There are guys who clearly punch harder than him. So that means he not a tier 1 puncher.

    He's one of the hardest punching MWs of all time and hardest punchers of his generation.

    Beterbiev isn't typically a one punch KO artist but virtually everyone who's shared a ring with him will wax lyrical about his power tell you he's the hardest puncher they've fought or sparred. It's exactly the same with GGG

    Hit the body. He'll wither just like any other man. Chin? Different story.

    GGG is definitely an elite puncher, and the way Canelo stood upto his best punches without hitting the canvas shows he has an elite chin. When you have a 90% KO ratio, how the hell can you not be considered an Elite puncher?:duh
