Was Gennady Golovkin past his prime by the time Canelo stepped up and fought him?

He was a bit past prime, and add to fact nel o was improving every fight bit by bit, plus many don't think nelo even won. So the win is tarnished ever so slightly. Some think nel o only beat a hypejob anyway. Unbeaten records don't mean Everyone puts you on pedestal look at floyd. But everyone ducked ggg, whilst Floyd did most the ducking, sabotaging himself. Let's face it, everyone wanted Floyd payday Similar to Floyd s win over pac is even more tarnished. Pac was past prime, IV gate and not even rematch. Pretty well said

If it's ''just a lil bit'', is it worth mentioning ?

Yes by a little

Yeah probably a little bit. GGG still has some fight in him for sure. In fact I think the chances that he could defeat Canelo in the third fight are actually fairly decent. GGG isn't washed up yet but he ain't no spring chicken either

Name all the fighters that Canelo fought, and clearly won, who were not one or more of the following 1) Over the age of 35 2) From a lower weight class 3) Not coming off a 14+ month layoff. I'll wait. None That GGG resume, doe :lol1: Had it not been for the Jacobs/Nelo segment, GGG could have fought like a 21 y/o for the next 50 yrs

Yep, taking a piss :lol1: Name all the fighters that Canelo fought, and clearly won, who were not one or more of the following 1) Over the age of 35 2) From a lower weight class 3) Not coming off a 14+ month layoff. I'll wait.

Geale Felix Sturm in Germany. Sebastian Sylvester in Germany. Mundine Nikola Sjekloca Has been in with some real big names. And lasted the full 36 minutes. Eduard Gutknecht Title contender. Korobov. Probably Charlo's best win. And that's a fight many feel he lost. Yep, taking a piss :lol1:

Yes, similar to Pac was past prime when Floyd beat pac ruining Floyd s legacy. And it was controversial with the iv and bad shoulder and no rematch? Floyd must be the only highly rated fighter in history with no rematches against biggest name wins on c v in fact. Pac no rematch. Nel o no rematch. D lh no rematch This thread isnt about Manny or Pac..damn man wow

Questionable..... I wasn't able to find his FULL list of head gear opponents https://www.reddit.com/r/Boxing/comments/3ydfs5/gennady_golovkins_amateur_record_is_widely/ Except for those mentioned here (not quite 300+).... https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Gennady_Golovkin#/Amateur_career http://amateur-boxing.strefa.pl/Records/Golovkin_Gennadiy.html (is this where you got your info or are you really that deep into GGG's career, making you a quasi boxing expert ?!?!?!) You caught me not doing my due diligence in my claim (not at all a GGG fan). Let's look at the names you brought to my attention - Geale - Fringe at best Nikola Sjekloca - ????? Eduard Gutknecht (see above) Matvey Korobov (are you taking ''a piss'' ????) Andy Lee - meh Lucian Bute - Vastly overrated but known While you may have discovered a SCANT FEW names, I must ask you to point out their best pro wins If this is the best he could do with those 300+ fights, he was a dumb ass and those names weren't worth mentioning :wave: Geale Felix Sturm in Germany.

Yeah, like that Andre Dirrell guy. Who's he? That guy Lucian Bute, never did anything. Nikola Sjekloca also a nobody Eduard Gutknecht.. pfft? Daniel Geale.. Did he even turn pro? Andy Lee.. Yeah, never heard of him. Matvey Korobov.. TRASH Questionable.....

Did you notice how zero % of those 300+ killers he faced amounted to nothing ?!?!?!? To be a cult member must be stooge like :stooges: Yeah, like that Andre Dirrell guy. Who's he?

D lh no rematch May is older than Pac The only rematch worth noting for Pac is JMM. The same JMM that May toyed with.

yuh those 300 + amateur fights certainly took their toll too...but only from the moment the judges announced the Canelo-GGG score.. strange time indeed for the toll to instantly manifest.

The GGG camp will break out those all important 300+ head gear fights to compensate yuh those 300 + amateur fights certainly took their toll too...but only from the moment the judges announced the Canelo-GGG score.. strange time indeed for the toll to instantly manifest.

You people that think GGG wasn’t on the wrong end of bad decisions in BOTH fights are probably the same ones that thought Wilder won Fury 1, was ahead on the scorecards in Ortiz 2 and De La Hoya beat Mayweather. :lol1:

the question is in reverse, GGG only stepped up to world title level when he turned 34 or 35. Its an attempt to deflect from why he did that. Canelo has fought an ATG when he was early 20s, theres no question mark over when he stepped up. The GGG camp will break out those all important 300+ head gear fights to compensate

So in your optics, amateur fights do not count? 3 rounds? Jesus. Do you even know boxing? Oh wait, of course you don't. That much is obvious. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gennady_Golovkin#Amateur_career 4 rounds. :hail: head gear ''fights'' :fing02:
