Gennady “GGG” Golovkin (36-0 33 KOs) is currently the biggest name in boxing right now. Holding the IBO, WBA, WBC and IBF Middleweight title belts, Golovkin has made it clear that he is the most feared man in all of boxing.

GGG has proved time and time again that he wants to fight none other than the best. He has been trying to make a bout against Golden Boy Promotions‘ Saul “Canelo” Alvarez for nearly a year, yet Alvarez continues to duck him.

Canelo isn’t alone however, as Golovkin has been ducked by nearly every meaningful fighter in his division. Numerous fighters have called him out, but when given the opportunity to meet him in the ring, the majority of them have turned the opportunity down for various reasons.

Regardless of why they claim to have ducked GGG, it is clear that the fear of his power came into effect. He has knocked out 91.7 percent of his opponents and hasn’t reached the final bell since 2008, making him the fighter with the highest knockout percentage in all of boxing.

Given his stunning knockout ability, as well as his hunt to add everyone in the division to his hit-list, it is clear to see why Gennady Golovkin is the most feared man in boxing.
