    If the answer is yes, then what / where is the evidence? Golovkin didn't inflict any more damage on Canelo or hurt Canelo any more than his past opponents did. Golovkin couldn't drop Canelo, something Canelo's past opponents couldn't do either. Golovkin couldn't KO Canelo, something Canelo's past opponents couldn't do either. Golovkin didn't even inflict any more VISIBLE damage on Canelo's face / body than Canelo's past opponents did. Even Erislandy Lara arguably marked up Canelo's face more than Golovkin did.

    So once again, if the answer is yes to the title of this thread, then where / what is the evidence?

    The only thing Golovkin managed to do, that Canelo's past opponents didn't do, was forcing Canelo to fight on the back foot in the first bout. However, that all changed in the second bout when Canelo LITERALLY showed very little to no respect to Golovkin's punching power, and pretty much walked through flush, maximum powered punches of Golovkin with very little to no effect. In other words, not being any more affected by Golovkin's punches than he was from the feather fisted Amir Khan's punches. In other words, Canelo made Golovkin look like he was a TOTAL FEATHER FIST that had the punching power of Amir Khan or of a little sissy that simply couldn't even crack an egg to save his life.

    So why couldn't Golovkin inflict any more damage on Canelo or hurt Canelo any more than Amir Khan or Erislandy Lara did, during their secound bout, when Canelo came forward the whole fight whilst walking through Golovkin's girlish / wimpy looking punches whilst looking like he was LITERALLY tickling from all those feather fisted refreshments that came from the hands of Golovkin? SURELY, Golovkin punches harder than Lara or Khan? But where was the evidence of that against Canelo in their second bout? Why didn't Golovkin's punches inflict any more visible damage or have any more of a visible effect on Canelo than Lara's or Khan's punches did?

    The second bout proved, that Golovkin could NEVER, and I mean NEVER EVER even drop, much less KO Canelo Alvarez in a million years. They could box for a million rounds and I still couldn't see the feather fisted Golovkin ever dropping Canelo Alvarez. So unless Golovkin AT LEAST drops Canelo once, Golovkin should never be considered a 'KNOCKOUT ARTIST' again, irrespective of how many low level bums / journeymen he KO's / has KO'ed.

    This is Canelo Alvarez's face, immediately after his fight against Erislandy Lara:

    https://preview.ibb.co/dVczoA/youtu-be-dbz-Cg-Nyj-K4-2.jpg

    Canelo is literally full of lumps and swellings on the right side of his face, particularly in the eye and the forehead.


    Whilst this is Canelo Alvarez, after his first fight against Gennady Golovkin:

    https://image.ibb.co/gfjOFq/470d938d-5413-4711-97b5-c813a9da785f.jpg

    https://image.ibb.co/iGgs8A/a907c8e3-834c-4ce2-9e08-621020e56216.jpg

    The first image was immediately after the fight and the last two are images of Canelo's face, a few days after his fight against Golovkin.

    In any case, there is hardly any swelling or even any lumps on Canelo's face, after his fight against Golovkin. Whilst against Lara, he had far more swellings and lumps. In other words, Lara inflicted more visible damage, according to the eye test than Golovkin did.

    All of this SEVERELY and SERIOUSLY exposes Gennady Golovkin's OVERLY - HYPED career.

    "feather fisted golovkin", is this where we are now, he's a feather fist? Ridiculous statement, if he was so feather fisted, Canelo wouldn't have chosen to fight the way he did in the 1st.

    At the ELITE LEVEL, Golovkin is a TOTAL feather fist. His power is no more proven P4P at the elite level, then Amir Khan's power is.

    24 rounds and 0 knockdowns against Canelo Alvarez (one of the only few elite opponents Golovkin has ever faced) is the very definition of a TOTAL feather fist.

    And

    36 rounds against 2 elite opponents (Daniel Jacobs and Canelo Alvarez) without a single KO is the very definition of a feather fist. And only managing a single knockdown in those 36 rounds based on an opponent being off balanced (Daniel Jacobs), is the very definition of a feather fist. When this same Jacobs was dropped more brutally by Sergio Mora for GOODNESS SAKE!

    The evidence is literally pointing at your face. How could you choose to deny this?

    Canelo was on the back foot in the first fight because of his stamina problems. In the second fight after he addressed that issue, he had no problems WALKING THROUGH Golovkin's feather fisted punches.

    GGG is so feather fisted that he only got 23 straight KOs. The bum should hav stopped Canelo in the first round

    So not all the trolls have been banned, and im calling you a troll Luis because this is about the 4th time youve done this thread about Golovkins power, and only a troll would call Golovkin feather fisted.


    What does that even mean? Are we saying the more talented the fighter the stronger the chin? You could say at elite level he has proven to struggle to land his power shots due to the quality of defense from his opposition but power is power you either have it or you dont. There are plenty of iron chinned club or domestic level fighters.

    But then after all his fights, all his knockouts, all the big name opponents hes faced that have commented on how hard he hits wouldnt you say its a bit late to question the mans power?

    Going on that evidence you could say the same for Canelo. He's a feather fist, he hardly put a dent in GGG.

    Or we could just say the most obvious and correct statement and say that both Canelo and GGG have some of the best chins in the game. Honestly, silly thread.

    Ever thought it’s more Canelo has an iron chin or does that not fit in with your agenda?

    GGG's power has always been overrated and I and others have said it for years. Anyone can look like the second coming when koing cans and no hopers but when you step up in comp that's the true test. Hell he couldn't even KO chinny Jacobs who I and 90% of this forum expected him to brutally KO. Jacobs was stopped by Pirog and was in more trouble against feather-fisted Mora, than he was against GGG let that sink in for a minute. That right there told me everything I needed to know about him. One of the most overrated power punchers I have ever seen especially because his overzealous fans said he was the biggest puncher ever and koed HWs in sparring, he didn't deliver period end of discussion Canelo ate his punches like candy.

    Oscar gives Canelo much better roids now, and maybe even meth so that Canel can be hit by a track and won't even notice.

    GGG is one of the hardest punchers in boxing, that's not even up for debate.
    and Alvarez has one of the best chins in boxing, that's not even up for debate too. Put 98% of middleweights in front of GGG and he Knocks them out.

    Golovkin is clearly a feather fisted fighter. He knocked out 23 opponents in a row but because Canelo and Jacobs were on another level then that means Golovkin is a feather fisted fighter. What a stupid post.
