    I would have to say GGG as well as he has knocked dudes out with different shots. **** screw punches and body shots.

    Ah yes, first memory of my dad and I having a genuine laugh together. When the wizard yelled and the lion took off running like hell and dove into the bushes. I was about 5 years old. Not many of those growing up, but a damn good memory.

    Golovkin throws every type of punch. Jabs, straights, overhands, hooks, uppercuts and body punches with near equal effectiveness. He’ll even add in some odd variations like that high angle hook he hits guys in the temple with.

    Inoue by far.

    Sad to see no love for Donaire though, he has some beautiful unique leaping punches.

    Loma. Do you think he would be hitting arms and gloves all night like Clenelo was against Pastor Dmitry?

    Regardless of the style Loma's facing and how big the physical advantages he's giving away are, or how regularly he's giving them away, he's able to hit virtually everyone he's fought at will or at least land consistently when he lets his hands go.

    And the fact he's able to do this against the level of opposition he's fought, giving away the physical advantages he is routinely, with that T-Rex reach of his, whilst sporting some of the most impressive plus minus numbers in the game and simultaneously being one of the best offensive and defensive fighters in the game is simply astonishing.

    He did have the best plus minus numbers in the game up until not that long ago and they've only dropped a bit since he's been campaigning at his third weight where he's routinely giving away huge physical advantages in a division full of giants. And it's not just the fact he's simultaneously one of the best offensive and defensive fighters in the game, it's how seamless he's able to blend offense and defense and how beautiful he makes it look.

    The way he's able to slide in and out of range and land his shots and make you miss with yours is poetry in motion and his defense consists of blocking, slipping, parrying, using his feet, not cowardly, unmanly or illegal defensive mastery like running like a chicken, ducking below waist level, lunging in and holding/excessive holding like an octopus etc. It's pure skill in all its glory. Hit and don't get hit whilst fighting in an extremely aggressive style. They call him The Matrix for a reason and no one comes close in terms of special effects and magic tricks.

    Crawford is one of the most skilled fighters in the game, and a fantastic talent, but he has a freakish 74'' reach, and in complete contrast to Loma, and I do mean complete contrast, has often been the bigger/heavier man, and has never been at a reach disadvantage in any of his world title fights or fights at the world level.

    And has fought a much lower level of opposition and barely any legit punchers or KO artists, let alone many his own size, bigger or much bigger and heavier like Loma has.

    How many times has Crawford been outweighed by a whole division, let alone two or three like Loma has many times? Once maybe?

    On one of the extremely rare occasions Loma had a reach advantage he limited the fastest handed guy in the sport and a very talented fighter in their own right (GRJ) to landing just 10% of his shots on his own soil.

    How many clean shots did Loma take off the lightening fast Rigo who FTR had actually 2'' reach advantage on him?

    Funny how when Loma is routinely facing opponents who not only hold a similar, bigger or even a lot bigger weight advantage over him than he did over Rigo, whilst he's also giving away reach to them or giving away a huge amount of reach to them, there's zero mention of size, eh?

    And even though Crawford has often had a significant weight, reach or both advantage over his opponents and has very rarely been the smaller man in that regard, all of which is complete opposite of Loma, and is known for being a puncher whereas Loma isn't, how many times have we seen him score a HL reel KO or one punch finish in any of his world title fights, even against naturally or way naturally smaller opponents? I can't think of one off the top of my head

    Loma has done so to fighters a lot heavier than him

    Imagine how many more times he would've done so if he weighed a division or two more than his opponents like many of the highly regarded leprechaun bashers in the sport often do, often do but still haven't been able to replicate finishes like this even against leprechauns

    The answer you're looking for is Loma

    Thank you for your time, gentlemen
