    Golovkin did not take the asian genetics in terms of his calves

    Golovkin has high cheek bones and a round face. His entire bone structure is asian from his mom's ancestry.

    Gennady's father does look beastly strong. He looks like one of those guys you hear about that picks up a washing machine on his own and carries it up lots of flights of stairs to the top floor of a block of flats. His mum also looks naturally strong too though. I bet she can carry 16 bags of heavy groceries with ease and has got the grip strength of an orangutan.

    Momma Golovkin is at the 0:50 mark and papa Golovkin at the 4:45 mark

    Andre Ward's dad looks like a strong mofo. He's got that Irish strength going on. Ward's mum on the other hand doesn't look particularly strong at all.

    Kovalev's auntie doesn't just look strong she is actually as hard as nails. Look how easily she handles this dude and he's an ex boxer too.

    Did you know Manny's wrists are the same size of Mike Tyson's?! It's real. Manny has he bone structure of a tank. It's also argued it's what gave him his unreal stamina, the red cells are broduced inside the bones, the bigger the better.

    Anyway no, it doesn't seem to be an Asian trait- Asians tends to have small bones, but huge calves and balloon heads tough.

    Yup I know. 👍🏻 His freakish bone structure is what has allowed him to move up in weight like no other while keeping his speed and power.
