Comments Thread For: Golovkin 'Bewildered' By Fact Canelo Says Third Fight Personal To Him; It's Cheap, Kind Of Low

[Elastic Recoilz]

It was a shame the first fight happened when GGG was 35 but the rematch was warranted 12 months later didn't do GGG any favours. Now the third fight will happen when GGG is nearly 41. If Canelo wanted a third fight it should have happened a long time ago beating GGG at this age does nothing for his legacy.

Its the mark of the man... He'd probably behave as if it were some sort of monumental achievement just like he did when he beat Shane Mosley and Carlos Baldomir when they were in their 40's. Utterly pathetic. Lets see if the PED taking, ginger diva has the minerals to step in with top competition when he's on the wrong side of 30!

Bumlovkin needs to shut his trap. What happened to this monster of knockouts and thirst for blood when he fought Canelo ? He was scared of being another highlight reel knockout

Would you keep that same energy for other 37 year old former unified champs though? You people are crazy - expecting a 37 year old who has reached the very pinnacle of the middleweight division to carry on fighting elite competition - for what? Surely when you reach that age and status boxing becomes more of a business, where its a case of grabbing as much money as possible before you retire. The mere fact that you place such high demands on the guy must show how much you low key rate him.

With regards to the opponent list you posted, admittedly they aint the best but still respectable:

Steve Rolls - tune up fight after a career long 9 month absence out of the ring

Sergiy Derevyanchenko - former Olympian, outstanding amateur career (390-20), former world title challenger and IBF number 1 at the time.

Kamil Szeremeta - IBF mandatory bout

Ryota Murata - Olympic Gold Medalist & and two time Middleweight World Champion

Continue to fight elite competition? He never really did fight elite competition. When he stepped up from fighting bums that were his mandatory, he barely got by. When his mandatory became a good fighter, he chose not to fight him. Never made the effort to fight any top competition at 154 or 168 if he couldn't face a good fighter at 160.

If you're referring to Jacobs, Canelo and Derevyenchenko he was 35, 36 and 37 years of age YET still managed to drop Jacobs (something Canelo couldn't do) still managed to drop Derevyenchenko (something Charlo couldn't do) and arguably defeated Canelo twice (the first fight is not up for debate).

Lets have it right, 28-33 year old Golovkin would've MURDERED anyone from 154-168 - that's when he was at his absolute prime, which oddly enough seemed to coincide with a period of time where nobody wanted to fight him...

Here's the truth:

Canelo got busted for Clenbuterol, Golovkin called him out on it and Canelo took it personally for some reason. Canelo was upset that his opponent called him out for his drug abuse. I mean, C'mon... Don't take Clen.

There’s nobody on Canelos resume that GGG wouldn’t have beaten just as easily. You can go up and down every fight.
