Who is the stronger puncher? Who has more devastating power? Both are holding back with their power though, Wlad because of advertisement on RTL and GGG because according to him he wants to fight 12 rounds to defea every style without a KO.
Wlad doesn't hit too extraordinarily hard for HW...he still has power but that's more down to his size...GGG isn't a gigantic MW and hits like a hammer so it's easily Golovkin.
I think it's definitely Wlad. And the guy has devastating power with both hands. Golovkin seems more like an accumulation puncher compared to Wlad.
You routinely see guys stunned by Wlad's jab. Just getting hit with that sledgehammer jab has discouraged a lot of fighters.
To me it is either Wlad or Kovalev and not GGG. Sure GGG can punch but he is more of an accumulation guy compared to Wlad or Kovalev who have legit savage power. When they hit someone the looks on the opponent face is very telling. It is a look of surprise, fear, and desperation.
I don't see GGG knocking out folks with just a jab, gotta go with Wlad with this one. Enough power to crack any chin in his division.
Wlad hands down. He does and did more damage with single shots. GGG is more of an accumulation puncher.
Wlad is the harder hitter, proven power puncher. He has faced iron chinned heavies and dented their chins. Golovkin has faced lackluster opposition, and also been given rounds by smaller guys moving up to fight him, not the signs of a huge punching guy. It took him 10 to stop ancient as hell, and shopworn 154 pounder Kassim Ouma. It also took him 7 to stop 154 pounder Gabe Rosado and it wasn't a real KO. Kind of makes the middleweight opposition he has fought look real ****ty when a way past it shop worn 154 pounder, and a mediocre 154 pound fringe contender last longer than the top 10 160 pounder contenders he has faced.
