Gennady Golovkin

Gennady Golovkin, GGG, is the kind of fighter who made me a little nervous to watch, simply because opponents kept falling. From Karaganda in Kazakhstan he built one of the longest, most punishing reigns the middleweight division has seen. At only 179 cm he was never imposing on paper, yet that relentless forward pressure and that crushing, economical power translated to anyone, boxing fan or not. The university-educated intelligence behind the menace adds a quiet contrast I enjoy. His name is permanently woven into middleweight history.
