How much will GGG's age play a factor?

35 isnt old anymore in sports with modern nutrition and less fights and less wear and tear. Even tennis players are having longer careers and they have grand slams, tournaments and wimbledon all in 9 months.

All boxers decline with age and the decline usually starts about when they hit 30 years old. It varies from boxer to boxer but it's very unlikely GGG is as fast, strong and sharp as he was 5 years ago even though he trains hard and takes care of himself. Canelo has just turned 27 years old. He is in his prime and as strong and fast as he ever will be with 50 pro fights worth of experience. Canelo has a solid edge as far as age goes. I still think GGG will win.

not much. hes 35 not 45. with his style and lack of wars, he should still be at the top of his game. A golovkin fan speaking truth, I can respect that.

In his fight with Jacobs he looked like he was having considerable difficulty pulling the trigger. His jab wasnt as accurate and he looked slower than usual. What are peoples thoughts on GGG's age and his possible decline in ability due to it? As soon as he fights his 1st quality fighter all of the sudden he is old? Excuse after excuse after excuse. He was never as good as Jim & HBO make him out to be. They don't want them Jacobs problems no more or even mix it up with Jermall for that matter.

He landed more jabs in the jacobs fight than almost any other fight. It was jab fest clinic. Just enjoy your victory on Sat night man. These dudes are in full troll mode right now but they know what's gonna happen on Sat night. GGG is going to look like a monster and Candelita is going to take some BRUTAL punishment before getting stopped.

Ask this question again if he loses. lol

How much will Candelita's lack of any fight against a legit 160 pounder affect the fight? JCCJ was paid off not to fight back against the diva. That fight was solely meant to give both the fans and Candelita the impression that if she can win against a 168 pounder (at 164) then she should have no problems with GGG. Too bad having a career of fixed fights and smaller, faded opposition is in no way, shape or form going to prepare the diva for this Sat night. It won't take more than a round or two for the diva to realize this.

In this fight Im going with Bradley's prediction. This will be the best version of Golovkin we've seen for a long time.

GGG has certainly slowed in his last couple fights but his game was never based on speed and athleticism, it is based on sound technique, and that will carry him through.

Personally I don't think he's slowed down all that much. GGG is power pressure fighter not a huge mover and hasn't really been in wars like that. His style will carry him for a for more years before he begins to really slow down provided he's not in Provodnikov Bradley situations. Brook was just a great fighter with little power who he threw caution to the wind with and Jacobs was a good slick fighter with power and reach who he had to be cautious with. Besides Canelo is too muscular for his frame and will have stamina issues in later rounds which will negate his age advantage. That's why I give the early rounds to Canelo but say he will be ko'ed by 9 or 10.

Sam was probably lying about his age though. African fighters have a tendency to shave a few years off. You talk trash about him again I hope you're ready to pay a deductible for the licking I'll give you Julian India is a true African warrior if Trent Crawfish didn't throw that low blow July is the unified champion.

Jacobs footwork and foot speed are a million times better than Canelos. If he could handle that, Canelos will be no problems. Im inclined to believe Canelo has better counter punching, combo punching and headmovement though. Might be to the quality of his opposition however.

These dumbass "Boxingscene professional analysts" will tell you that Golovkin's not old EVEN THOUGH HE'S 35. Samuel Peter who is unanimously the greatest fighter of our generation was already slowing down at 29. Sam was probably lying about his age though.

Fair point about Jacob's reach and size. I think Jacobs has better footwork and speed than Canelo as well. A few years ago I would have said GGG walks through him within 6, but now I'm not so sure.

He was having more problems with Jacobs height and reach. But he kept his jab going. Until I see him have trouble getting his jab going, im not going to say he cant pull the trigger. There were obvious things he was avoiding throwing because of a basic scouting report on Jacobs. Fair point about Jacob's reach and size.

his age will be a reason why canelo TKO's him instead of UD
