Video Highlight: Gennady Golovkin Stops Dominic Wade in the 2nd Round.

Gennady Golovkin continues his impressive knockout streak adding another stoppage to make it 22 in a row.

Dominic Wade looked way out of his league with the Kazakhstan middleweight Gennady Golovkin.

GGG dropped Wade three times. Once in the first then twice in the second.

When Max Kellerman asked GGG does he have anything he wants to say to Canelo, GGG said, “Yes, give me my belt, I need my belt.”

22 straight knockouts is an impressive achievement for a middleweight. Knockouts are what get the majority of boxing fans excited.

There have been many great knockout streaks over the years, not many of them are coming from this current era.

Between August 1970 and May 1972, Earnie Shavers had a streak of 27 straight knockouts.

Vitali Klitschko has many people calling him the greatest knockout artist of all time within the heavyweight division. When he started his pro career, he had 27 straight knockouts.

Edwin Valero is a name that many remember for the wrong reasons, in 2010 he was arrested for murdering his wife and then he committed suicide in police custody shortly afterwards. Valero fought at featherweight and lightweight. This didn’t stop him from having a punch like a heavyweight thought.. Knocking out all 27 of his opponents and stopping 19 of them in the very first round.

Alfonso Zamora is probably one of the smallest fighters to have such a high KO ratio. He had 29 big KO’s in a row at the start of his career.

Acelino Freitas is another little guy, fighting at featherweight, this Brazilian also stopped his first 29 opponents.

Henry Armstrong had over 100 knockouts in his career, a fighter many regard as one of the best. He clocked up 27 in a row.

George Foreman, another heavyweight, many say this guy had the hardest punch in the whole of the sport. He had 24 straight knockouts.

This guy for me is one of the most impressive on the list of knockout streaks, a true legend of the sport. Fighting at bantamweight Wilfredo Gomez notched 32 straight knockouts. The funny thing is, his pro debut was a draw, then he went on this amazing KO streak.

Then in the present day, we have Deontay Wilder, he has stopped all of his 36 opponents.

Fans will be putting Canelo and GGG together again in a highly anticipated clash. A fight I don’t feel will happen for a long time. I think, as long as Canelo keeps hold of the WBC middleweight crown, this fight will be built up for months. Possibly years.

Expect a Mayweather Vs Pacquiao build up. That’s fight took the best part of seven years to come around.
