    If you really watch and analyze Golovkin fights, his punches don't come fast enough for him to knock people around like he does, I wouldn't doubt if he had loaded gloves.

    Anybody else notice that?

    You need to realise that punches don't have to be that fast to have a lot of power. Froch, Maidana, Matthysse, Kovalev etc have a lot of power and are slowish. Mayweather, Malignaggi, Khan, Calzaghe, Ward ect on the other hand....

    Some people got power but don't punch fast.

    According to your logic I guess Foreman (arguably the greatest puncher of all time) had loaded gloves.

    Rosado did say that there was something fishy about GGG's gloves and I won't write that off completely but I'll need more proof to start doubting.

    As of now, I just think GGG has amazing form and freakish natural power.

    Many punches that KO are getting really good leverage, not speed.

    'Ola Afolabi said to Sky Ringside “I think it’s going to be a knockout. The guy [Golovkin] hits incredibly hard. I’ve been in the ring with heavyweights, cruiserweights, light heavyweights, and I get in the ring with this kid and every time he hits me, I say whoa''

    Ryan Coyne (former CW now LHW)

    ''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.”

    ''I spent my summer up in Big Bear training with Gennady Golovkin who is emerging as the most murderous puncher in the boxing. I watched former champions, light heavies, cruisers, and even heavies get sent home.''

    David Imoesiri HW

    “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.”

    In fairness his punches have an otherworldly quality to them where it don't look like thee is much power

    It's how much weight you put into them at what speed, Golovkin has the perfect combination of these two, he leverages his each and every power punch to perfection.
