Why Are People Acting like Golovkin is Washed Up?

[Brother Mouzone]

I think its because he looked like sh^t against Derevyanchenko. But then he looked amazing in his next fight against Szeremeta.

Well plenty of his fans wanted to see him face canelo a 3rd time after a real tough fight, while canelo swerved it. Canelo was the consensus best guy in the division, what bigger risk was there?

That is literally the only risk they mention. Never Andrade, never Charlo, never 168. They just keep holding onto the hope G still gets a win over Canelo. He should have but that ship has sailed.

He's not washed, but he's not exactly in his prime either. That said I think a big part of the problem is he's fighting largely bs guys lately so its difficult to say if he's not taking these fights seriously so is getting hit more or he's cruising slowly into washed territory vs these low level guys & we won't fully see it til he fights a high level guy.

I think GGG should fight at whatever weight gets him the most money. His legacy is set more or less. Its unlikely we are going to see another run like he had when he was KOing mfers & was the boogieman of boxing. So just get dat money at this point. And 168 seems deeper than 160 right now, assuming he can get the juicy opponents at 168.

People talk about Andrade and charlo like they ever attempted to get the fight beyond posturing. Andrade is the guy you should be talking about when you say unwilling to take a risk...charlo was talking that “I’m still a young lion” stuff when he was like 30 lol. Again, I ask, who’s more of a risk than the best guy in the division. We all know it was about money at that point, but “he don’t wanna take any risk doe”.

Agreed that it is BS that Charlo needs to earn a fight with Canelo. BJS nor Smith did anything recently to deserve a fight with Canelo minus having a belt at SMW.

He's got to fight somebody, not just sit back waiting for the Canelo lottery ticket.

Benavidez called Charlo out, why isn't he accepting that challenge? They are both under the same roof so none of the problems of rival promoters/networks would apply.

ggg is washed up. Look at his recent fight. He was gassed by the 4th round, and still took shots that marked up his face a bit. His opponent was trash, and he should have gotten that guy out of there within 2-3 rounds tops. He looked weak during the derevyanchenko fight where he was getting hit by everything chenko throwed, and should have lost by a wide margin. He has been looking bad since 2016. ggg should have retired 2-3 years ago.

And that's what I mean. Not many GGG fans just say "I want GGG to fight Charlo or Amdrade". It's always some big story.

I would love him fighting Plant or Andrade or GGG or Benavidez. But save me this BS that he needs to earn a fight with Canelo when that's a damn lie. What has BJS done lately to earn a fight with Canelo?

Save me this BS that Canelo needs to justify his opponent choices, after all he's done up to this point. Especially if you're going to give Charlo a pass.

Like Yildrim did? This thread isn't about Benevides or Charlo. Try to keep up, read slowly if you need to.
