Send your MWs to KO prime GGG

I don't see anyone stopping G

 

Hagler's chin was so good that his head would get pushed before he got rattled, against Hearns, some combinations and hits made it look like they were fighting on a slip and slide.

 

Keep in mind that Hagler faced guys wearing 8oz gloves while Golovkin faced guys using 10 oz modern gloves.

 

GGG has probably the best chin I have ever seen. I don't recall him ever being rocked.

He ain't being KO'd by any middleweight. Not a chance.

 

I wouldn't favour anyone to stop GGG at MW, but an RJJ body shot is probably the best chance.

Gennady's chin is cast iron and RJJ theoretically had enough speed to land a power shot to Golovkin's body that he didn't see coming...

 

I think Golovkin is one of those guys that can't be stopped. Beaten..............yeah there's a number.

Stopped? Nah.

 

I seem to recall Derevyanchenko hurting Golovkin to the body in their fight, so if i was going to pick anyone to stop Golovkin it would be someone like McClellan who was a lethal body puncher and a genuine 1 punch KO artist.

@Greg Price99 also mentioned RJJ who isn't a bad shout he was also a huge puncher at Middleweight who is noted for good body punches see the Hill fight. Jones also stopped Thomas Tate in just 2 rounds at Middleweight, who went 12 rounds with Julian Jackson and took his best punches. So maybe RJJ could surprise Golovkin with his speed and catch him with a shot he isn't prepared for.

I still wouldn't bet on Golovkin being stopped though but the 2 above are good candidates to attempt it.

 

I WANT ARCHIE MOORE! <Max Kellerman voice>

 

The question arises, what if GGG breaks that glass chin of Roy's first?

 

Against really powerful and dangerous fighters Golovkin turns up his defense and alertness IQ to go along with his great chin. So no, I favor him to hang with any of them. The one fight that alot folks thought might be the time GGG gets stopped was the trilogy fight when GGG went up in weight vs a powerful super middleweight champ at the age of forty years old. Canelo vowed to stop him and retire old GGG. That fight only enhanced GGG'S reputation for having a great chin, as Canelo couldn't hurt him at all.

 

There is no way he survives Julian Jackson punching with a 8oz glove. Curtis Stevens was a good puncher but no comparison.

 

RJJ was only stopped at Light Heavyweight not Middleweight or Super Middleweight.

And that was at 35 years old after dropping down from Heavyweight against a big punching Southpaw Light Heavyweight who has stopped Cruiserweights & Heavyweights.

 

If Ray Robinson could stop Jake LaMotta, he could stop GGG
