Talking middle weight punchers

SRR stopped iron chinned fighters ,GGG has stopped who?

 

A lot of the guys that he has KO'd have a reputation for being hard-chinned. Simon, Geale, Rubio to name a few. Ishida - GGG the only guy to KO him. And Murray was huge, never been stopped, a defensive specialist and Golovkin beat him to pieces.

 

calling murray a defensive specialist is not really accurate imo, he's just got a standard european style defense and no great speed. He does weigh like 170 in the ring, has a good chin and golovkin did beat the sh11t out of him, but he is no defensive specialist and golovkin didn't land a ko shot.

that fight went pretty much how hagler or monzon would have beat him too imo.

 

1) What I meant was that he's pretty hard to dig out of that clamshell defense of his. I didn't mean that he's a bob n weaver.

2) I agree Hagler etc would likely have done the same to him. If Murray had a punch he'd be pretty dangerous, but he doesn't.

 

As I said, feel free to point out Golovkin's iron chinned KO victims.

 

It's very early to compare GGG to any set of champions, let alone the best at the weight ever. He looks great, but until he beats Cotto and/or Canelo (which he probably will) and goes beyond that, he shouldn't be compared to the greats.

Just because he hasn't done it doesn't mean he couldn't do it though.

 

If Golovkin fought a lot of tough, skilled opponents, the kind of fighters not easily KO'd, and many when well past his prime as well, his KO % would drop too.

Mims was stopped once in 102 fights (on a cut)
Basilio was stopped twice in 79 fights (both times on his feet and he was furious with the referee for stopping it)
Villemain was KO'd once in 63 fights (by Robinson)
Dy kes was KO'd twice in 151 fights

He did KO Turpin and Greaves in rematches.

So he went the distance with Billy Brown and Jean Wanes. Golovkin went the distance with Ian Gardner and Amar Amari. No one can KO everyone.

 

Because they are many , many other MWs who hit harder than 3G and that would up set your agenda.

What have you got that proves he hits harder than English?

In my book English is a harder hitter.

He went up to Cruiser weight , dropped and gave all sorts of trouble to the certified Iron Chinned Carl Thompson.

David Haye unloaded everything he had on Thompson and couldn't drop him , but English did.

Glovkin's best win is a weighted drained , domestic C Level Murray and it took 3G 11 rounds to stop him on his feet.

 

Half of those guys were fully within their senses when they were TKO'D on their feet:tired

 

Until the spinal cord is ripped out, the fight's not over! :nut

 

You say Glovkin KO'D Rubio the fastest?

He neither KO'd him nor Done it the fastest.

Here you will see him have his lights turned completely out in the first round off one punch by Kofi Jantuah.
