Who hits harder? Not asking who has better footwork, chin, jab, hairstyle, intangibles etc. I just want yr opinion on who has the biggest whack! My belief is Lemiuex, from both recently fighting Rosado and DL dropping him and wobbling him with every shot whereas GGG couldn't.
Lemieux swings wider, if GGG threw punches like that he would hit harder, GGG throws punches way more accurately though.
Lemiuex punches like how he'd punch a boxing machine - more power behind it but too open to counter. If he fights like that vs GGG, he won't last more than Willie Monroe and if he doesn't fight like that, as mediocre a boxer as he is, he will be outpointed by a wide margin, hardly winning a few rounds.
Not by anything It's clear who hits harder. Golovkin has plenty of advantages in this fight, but it is abundantly apparent despite his own excellence in this area he falls a little short in a direct power match up.
:verysad you dont think he can? he just doesnt want to leave himself wide open, and drain all his stamina by throwing those punches, that's why Lemieux always looks gassed out in most of his fights.
Its not fair to compare their power based on Rosado. GGG wasn't gunning hard to KO Rosado. He was taking his time and breaking him down and up.
Rosado on GGG vs Lemieux. He thinks the same way as me - GGG is the more sound boxer and that Lemieux is too open to counters with his wide swings. [yt]IPdb-8Vmt1g[/yt]
I don't disagree. But Rosado's legs buckled every time Lemiuex landed and he dropped him. Golovkin couldn't or didn't - depending on your perspective. Lemiuex will swing wildy vs Golovkin too, but if he has even 10% of the success Monroe Jnr or Murray did landing then GGG is tasting the canvas IMO and we have a fight on our hands!
You can tell Lemieux puts way more into every shot. Golovkin doesn't have to put that much effort into every single punch. I think he's the naturally more heavy handed fighter of the two, but David is more explosive with his punches with more speed. If you've seen how hard Gennady hits the pad with Abel, you'd be able to see that he doesn't punch that hard in an actual fight. But if he did, ****.
