Note: The video was published on the 10th January, whilst Team GGG were promoting the Golovkin-Jacobs bout.

Some light heavyweight names to consider:
• Andre Ward
• Sergey Kovalev
• Adonis Stevenson
• Artur Beterbiev
• Joe Smith Jr.
• Oleksandr Gvozdyk

Thoughts?

He probably does.. his opponents feel that power, and even give up after they've beaten a count when knocked down.

I think he hits harder than ward. Kovalev looks to have a stronger jab and straight but Golovkin is stonger with every other punch. Adonis has a very strong left but is getting old and looked a bit tubby in his last fight. So maybe, stronger left straight, left hook but everything else Golovkin has is stronger. Beterbiev looks very strong, not sure if Golovkin can hit harder than him, not sure. Joe smith, very naturally strong, very big looping punches but strong and strong frame. I'd give Golovkin the edge because he has the superior technique and technique is important to power. Never seen a Gvozdyk fight, no comment. I would agrue that out of all these, Golovkin is the better puncher (can put them together, more versatile, picks the right shots) whereas as I said, some may be a bit more powerful. Still, you never know, he could be more powerful than the lot of them, not much separating them at the moment which is notewortthy as he's a natural middleweight.

I think he clearly hits harder than Ward, but I don't think he hits as hard as Beterbiev, Kovalev, or Stevenson.

Different types of power. Of the fighter's listed, Beterbiev and GGG share the most in common - clubbing power. GGG's clearly a harder puncher than Ward and most likely Gvozdyk. As for the rest? Abel's full of crap again.

Why is Ward even listed?

He's probably right.

Stevenson's left is probably harder. Not sure about Beterbiev. Golovkin is probably on par with Kovalev and hits harder than Gvozdyk. Ward can't punch. He slaps.

Maybe he'll go up and prove it?

GGG obviously hits harder than Ward and Stevenson... He could be the hardest punching Middleweight ever but he doesn't hit as hard as Beterbiev.. Beterbiev hits like a powerful Heavyweight.. He shlttcans people like they were dropped by a 30.06.
