    Gennady said Stevens hit harder than Lemiuex

    Stevens said Golovkin didnt have much punch power

    A picture says a thousand words....


    For sure Stevens hit Golovkin harder

    He was a terrified shell against the ropes for 2.30 minutes of every round after meeting his maker

    So Golovkin had zero concentration on defence, unlike he had with David, who found it very difficult to penetrate GGG's Elite defence, but still tried to fight him, not cower like an absolute puss against the ropes

    This allowed the cowering Stevens to regain his energy and go for the occasional hail mary

    Some of them hail marys connected - Stevens hail marys connecting flush would have KOd the vast majority of the division

    Golovkin simply turned his head with the impact then resumed the massacre

    Golovkin is indeed another Hagler

    Steven's left hook did wobble Golovkin, the only time I've seen it. But yes, that left hook would've floored most MWs.

    Gennady's right leg did a slight stanky. I think round 5.

    Just seen a video on YT saying GGG wears custom made "Magic gloves" waaaaaay smaller than his last couple opponents.

    Check YT... not my video

    To date Golovkin's chin cant be doubted, but i have a sneaky suspicion, there is a Kosyta Tszyu type moment in the near future when a modern day Vince Phillips bust onto the scene.

    The bully is ready to be taken down

    No, it was the end of the 2nd round. The same round he put
    the "say whaaaaaaaaaaaat" look on brotha stevens face.

    GGG has a chin of granite and the smile of a baby angel

    I pick Ruslan, he doesn't have the skills and defense of GGG.

    Yeah, Ruslan's chin is unreal.

    Golovkin's is plenty solid but he doesn't get caught clean as much as people make out, he tends to ride most of the stuff he's hit with which is what Hagler used to do as per the OP.

    Not that I'm saying he is as good as Hagler etc before anyone suggests so...

    Only if he doesnt respect their power

    He never let Lemeiux hit him often

    He'll test Brook out in the opening rounds, feel his power, and if he doesnt like it, he'll go into boxer mode

    If he thinks "yeah i can take this" then Kell is in a world of trouble

    Yup. I saw it too. That was a vicious punch that should have reaped a better reward than a stiffened leg.
