    Honestly, I saw him take so many bombs from Jacobs, Stevens, Lemieux and Canelo... all these 4 guys are p4p hardest punchers... he KOed a guy while taking a massive bomb to the chin.

    hes obviously been hurt several times, its the nature of his style, but you gotta figure in that he hurting people too, and usually more so than them.

    question might be can anyone ko him before he kos them. And to date, computer says no.

    Physically impossible as you have to punch so hard that you'd shatter every hand and wrist bone.
    It's like Deadpool vs Colossus.

    With his leaky defense its a 100% certainty he can be knocked out. It may have happened already if fought elite boxers that can punch.

    Yep I agree with this that he can be knocked out,only have the see the respect he gave Lemieux,Jacobs and Canelo.
    I tell you what never gets mentioned though about Golovkin and all the talk of his iron chin is the fact that fundamentally he’s so bloody good and imo that’s the big difference,granted he obviously has some genetics but compare him to Amir Khan,Gennady comes in with head down and chin tucked in and always on the balls of his feet,ready to rock back or forward whereas someone like Khan and you could still see this in just 40 secs against Lo Greco that he still leaves himself shockingly open to being countered and such is his speed when he walks onto one as he’s won’t to do it seems to happen so quick.
    So I’ve no doubt Golovkin can be hurt,knocked out even but to catch him with that punch that you don’t see coming would take something extra special and that in a nutshell imo is what makes GGG so formidable.

    Elite boxers that could catch with a punch he never saw more like,still it must be scary for someone like Canelo to catch him with a punch that started from down near his knees and landed flush not unlike the punches that saw off Kirkland and Khan and yet bloody Golovkin just shrugs it off and even worse carries on coming forward lol.
    Kellerman once got it right when he said GGG appears to enjoy the violence just a little too much lol

    Canelo blasted Chavez Jr with a 145 clean power shots and barely put a dent in him. Chavez should not have been able to absorb those shots since being weight drained deplets your punch resistance , but he took them like they were nothing because Canelo is not a puncher.
    He wasn't a hitter at 154 , he's borderline feather fisted at 160. Cotto was rocked worse by light punching Saddam Ali than he was against Canelo.
    If GGG can't be stop based off clean shots he took from Canelo - than Chavez , Cotto and Lara must be invincible terminators .

    I definitely think so.. Mainly if they go to the body more.. Like Margarito and other concrete headed fighters you go to the body hard and eventually then hell fall..

    No boxer will risk going to the body as their main tactic vs GGG, that wouldn't end well for them

    Nah, Golovkin is one of those guys that can simply
    take shots and not get his bell rung. I've seen all
    I need to regarding the shots he's taken to make this
    proclamation. He even gets hit with shots he doesn't
    see (the hardest to take), and is still clear headed and
    barely even pauses.
