Yeah I think he is pretty fresh,,, hasn't been in that many wars or tough fights.. Younger guys like rios, Ortiz, even figuoraro have more wear n tear on them

Is Golovkin still a 'fresh' fighter for his age?

He is perfectly fine at the moment, I don't consider him low mileage for his age considering how many rounds he fought in the amateurs.
So he is in fine form right now and will likely be for a while, but he really does not have the time to be bull****ting around because before long it will be catching up with him.

GGG would be better off if he was 26 but at 32 he is still the best middleweight in the world by far and trying hard to prove it to all doubters.

Just for comparison's sake, Floyd Mayweather Jr fought 100 amateur fight, has about 300 rounds in the ring as a professional, and is looking towards the exits (Floyd, based on sheer boxing ability, can probably physically fight at the top level for another 2-3 years if he wanted).

He has stayed fresh cause he hasn't run into someone like Andre Ward or Carl Froch and he is not going to anytime soon. He would destroy small Cotto, Canelo would attempt to box him, Quillen sucks, Murray throws 10 punches per round(and still beat old ass Martinez that way). There's not much at 154-160 that would make GGG get old overnight or look ordinary. Ward, Froch, Ant. Dirrell, Groves, DeGale, even this older version of Kessler and Bika, these fighters would all give GGG either a loss or a very tough 12 round fight.Last edited by PulpFriction; 01-31-2015, 12:52 AM.
