Don't get me wrong, Golovkins power is UNGODLY! But Jackson ICED people! He hit you and turned your brain OFF... Golovkin no doubt hits like a mule, but he isn't putting people to sleep. People aren't going stone cold unconscious like when Jackson KO'd them. Anyone else agree? I'm a huge fan of GGG, he is amazing to watch and is a great of fresh air in a sport where the modern boxing superstars are p*ssies. But I have to put JJ above him in terms of pure one-shot/KO power.
He probably has more 1HKO power, I don't know too much about Jackson but I've seen his highlight reel of KO's, they were a lot more deadly than Golovkin's, I haven't seen his fights though to see whether he hits with the same consistent power that Golovkin does though.
I would even go as far as Lemieux punches harder than Golovkin. If Lemieux hits a guy clean, they are hurt or out. Golovkin just has great timing and opens up his opponents while lemieux is wild and much easier to defend against. Golovkin is a heavy puncher, but what makes it scary is he does not put everything into his shots. If he wailed away he could be scary like Jackson. You can tell he holds back some to ensure accuracy and placement.
JJ swung for the fences though, GGG hardly does that, so hard to tell who has more power, but because of the reason you have to say Jackson hit harder in a fight, but cant say if he has more power than GGG - if you get what am trying to say - GGG holds back.
Once Jackson hits you with a clean blow, you're going down and out. No if's, but's or maybe's. That man was fking lethal. Hardest puncher I've ever seen.
Jackson didn't really throw hayemakers like that. He boxed and was pretty patient for a puncher of his caliber
That was a scary KO, but people talk about GGG's power as if he is laying people out like that every time.
