Comments Thread For: Golovkin Says He Feels Great, Not Even Thinking About Retirement

[tritium_arma]

I look forward to ATG middleweight Golovkin’s next fight.

If aint been out so long id say fight charlo or andrade now unify division

[SteveM]

Not thinking of retirement? Then go fight andrade, charlo and unify after the murata cherry pick bum fight.

It's professional boxing. We all want to see the best fight the best but when you a boxer gets past 35 I give them some leeway - then, for the majority of boxers still in the game and most aren't, it's rightfully about getting the most money for the least risk. I think at this stage Golovkin would lose to both Andrade and Charlo. He probably knows it too. But if he fights Murata and Canelo for good money that'd be the best money-move for him.
I know someone will come on here and say that he got 100 million from Dazn but the latest I heard was that was revised - and it was based on a 3rd Canelo fight and Canelo left and shows little interest in making that fight as he's moved on.
Lastly, what's stopping Andrade and Charlo fighting each other? The winner would raise their profile to stand a better chance of getting either a Canelo or a Golovkin fight.

Take a little less DMT my dude. You're trippin balls.

Please, don´t blame drugs for ******ity.

This is looking a lot like Pacquiao vs. Ugas! You can be older, but you can't be older and inactive! Luckily for GGG, Murata is probably the weakest Champion @ 160!

[Liondw]

Well, fighting one fight every year or two years, or fighting that last low quality opponent he fought, why should he retire.

[Boxing Logic]

GGG needs to be that rare performer who performs better at age 40 than he did at age 30, otherwise his career will go down as a big disappointment of unfulfilled potential.

GGG fought no one of note until after he turned 30, same as most pro boxers these days. And now you are talking about giving leeway after age 35. You are basically coming up with blanket excuses for boxers fighting C-level opponents for a large majority of their careers. Look at Crawford, his first significant fight is going to come around age 35, same as GGG, but afterwards you'll say he doesn't need to fight anyone good anymore because he's 35+? Most these guys careers basically start at 35+. If you dont watch any of their fights until they turn 35 or close to it, it's like you missed absolutely nothing important for many of them. All the moreso someone like GGG who achieved no notable wins before age 35, he should be making up for lost time after 35, rather than fighting such poor opposition.

So, I really can't agree with your post. GGG's career post-Canelo has been a massive disappointment, same as his career before Canelo, and same as his two performances vs Canelo (whether you feel he won, or not, he was not himself in either fight, looking slow, wild, unaggressive, tactically inept, and lacking his usual stamina and activity).

Blanket excuses? It’s called science and medicine…why don’t you see more men over 30 pick up boxing? Why don’t you see men who’ve taken care of themselves having a midlife crisis and becoming boxers…your body produces less of the stuff you need to heal as you age, brain doesn’t heal the same way at 40 at it does at 20. Nor does skin tissues. Seriously, I say this kindly and as respectful as I can. Sometimes fight fans are their own worst enemy in the pursuit of bloodlust. Nobody, should’ve had to explain this to you. Either you are young or you just really dislike this boxer..how many men you see picking up pro sport careers, hell how many 40 year old combat athletes do you know? Cool you don’t like his resume, but y’all be up here acting like he needs to fight who you want for him to be worthy of…you. Lol. Sorry. But nah. Don’t like the guy, tone it or keep it pushing. That man is 40 and slow, I’d say too slow to be fighting young fighters, him saying he ain’t retiring worries me, straight up worries me that it won’t end well.

Pretty much all the GGG haters and GGG fans (I was one ) have moved on now but Aboutfkntime just can't get over GGG - makes you wonder what Golovkin did to him. Any time an article on Golovkin comes up, sure as day turns to night and night turns to day - up shows AFT - reliable as clockwork. Sad that someone can be consumed by so much hatred for most likely a person they have never met and never will.

ill tell you what golovkin did....his team and his fans promised big things...talked alot of nonsense....and in the end what hell be known for is his KO streak of beating up guys like curtis stevens...who lost to legit d level club fighters like primera and brinkley

if golovkin is really about the life he says he is....theres an easy fight to make after murata...its andrade.....hell at least earn a shred of respect back from me if he takes that fight....odds are not in favor that he will based on his history
