I think GGG is past it

Now he's off the P*DS. Obviously Canelo won the fight. Oh well.

Excuses excuses he looked like a monster against ridiculous weak opponents. He now looking exposed and ordinary not becausw of age but because he ain't fight bums. Go back to fighting guys on house arrest he will be back to getting KOs and over at ed by folks like you again. He's always been slow, no head movement or defense. And his power is overated. False, he looked terrible against wade to me thats when the decline started. You started seeing the sluggishness and loss of snap on punches in that fight.

You're way too intelligent for this site. Like reading your posts as you always talk sense. 100% Agree. It's not that GGG was looking old, its that in his last two fights he's finally fighting A or B Level Guys like Canelo and Jacobs and so we've finally seen that against those guys, GGG isn't as great as some people believed him to be. GGG is one of those guys that looks descructive against Lower Level guys who don't have the Ring Smarts, Technique or Movement to keep him off. Just look at the list of Guys he's fought in World Title Fights: Milton Nunez, Nilson Tapia, Kassim Ouma, Lajuan Simon, Makoto Fachigami, Grzegorz Proksa, Nobu Ishida, Matthew Macklin, Curtis Stevens, Osuma Adama, Daniel Geale, Gabriel Rosado, Marco Rubio, Martin Murray, Willie Monroe, David Lemieux, Dominic Wade. COMPLETE AND UTTER TRASH OPPONENTS! One of the Worst World Title Runs in Boxing History, feasting on C, D, E and F level Opponents. He looked like **** against wade too lol. Hes not the same. We are talking about his physical traits and performance, yes he is fighting better guys. But you can tell hes not as sharp as he was 3-4 years ago, lost speed ,reflexes etc. It happens to guys his age. You have to be lying if you think he looks the same as he always did.

With this style it was bound to happen, but I don't think it's a severe decline. He just fought the two best guys he's ever faced in his career so a step up in competition also added to it.

He is which is why Canelo finally decided to fight him. But he still beat Canelo clearly in my view. However, Golovkin's decline is going to continue. It's subtle now but will become more obvious from this point on.

That or he never fought a Jacobs or Canelo before Or both I think we have to factor in the quality of his last two opponents, but yeah he just doesn't look fresh to me.

I've felt this since the wade fight. Him looking flat was chalked up to not being up for the fight against a walkover opponent...but he really hasn't looked sharp in every fight since. Thats when i started seeing it too. So i cant really say its just that the competition has gotten better. Wade was a phucking straight bum and i thought GGG looked like **** against him.

Doesnt slide on his feet like he used to, it has been declining every fight but I dont think I saw him do it once vs canelo. Doesn't punch off the backfoot like he used to. Basically, difficult time punching with power on the move thus a lot of arm punching and has a difficult time pulling the trigger on openings for a bodyshot. Moves weird now too, in that nelo fight he looked like a senior citizen. Yes, its the sluggish ass movement lately. Dude just looks flat out old sometimes. A few years back he just seemed so much quicker all around and more fluid with his feet and reflexes in general. hes aged, shame it took this long for an opponent like canelo to step in. Just watch the curtis stevens fight or even the rosado one. He just looks different even though those guys are gatekeepers.

I think GGG peaked vs Lemeieux. I had him winning but he didn't look great.

Looked the same to me, it's just stepping up in quality meant he got countered a lot and his power wasn't nearly as effective. This is why you start fighting quality earlier in your career. GGG fought tomato cans most of his career, of course he looked better against them than Jacobs and Canelo. I'd have to say both. Like it or not time waits for no man and few fighters are as good at 35 as they are at 32... undoubtedly his step up in comp is contributory too though. And yeah. Kinda sucks for Golovkin that Universum fucked half his career.

He's past it, but I doubt anyone in his prime dares to trade with him even at this stage.

He's 35 so of course he's not going to be as strong.

GGG fought tomato cans most of his career, of course he looked better against them than Jacobs and Canelo. Same way Mayweather had massive KO power fighting bums in his first 15 fights. GGG fought that level of bums until his 30th fight when he was 30+ years old. Heck, one of his more recent fights was with a guy on house arrest who took the fight in 2 weeks notice. Those are the kind of opponents you cut your teeth with in your first couple years, not guys you build a legacy with in your 30s.

Yeah not nearly as sharp, he's slower with his hands and feet, and he's just overall more tentative (that I'd like to chalk up to comp more tho). Canelo at 27 fought the best version of Golovkin he could and still lost.

Of course he is. Pretty much every fighter will have slipped a bit at 35 compared to their early 30s. I'm still not even convinced he made weight that well either, i believe it was more of a struggle than they let on and that's something that comes with age too. He did also enter camp in worse shape than usual. You can definitely see he has aged a bit in the past 2 years, even in his face. Then again, he has just fought 2 genuine quality fighters back to back. Tell me any fighter that has gone to that level and kept on knocking guys out for fun. It doesn't happen. Some might be age, but i think you have to factor in level of competition too. He still had enough to beat Canelo 8-4 though anyway. GGG is the real deal, no question about that.

Im not making excuses for his performance, i thought he won the fight and by about 3-4 rounds. I just dont feel like hes the same fighter he was a few years ago, hes lost a step. Maybe its the comp has gotten better but by the eye test he just doesnt look the same. Hes not as quick, not as ripped physically no homo. He just doesnt have the same sharpness he used to have seems alot more sluggish in the way he boxes and moves and just doesnt seem to have the same snap on his shots. Hes still really good though. That or he never fought a Jacobs or Canelo before Or both
