    I agree, I think there's a good chance Golovkin will struggle with Murata, who really isn't that good. But it's a lot of money for the retirement fund. Then, providing canelo agrees to providing that final big payday, golovkin will happily take a beating. He'll, he's already talking like there was never any bad feeling - at least from him.
    Providing the Canelo fight goes through then its definitely a retirement fight for him. Like I said originally it's a snowball's chance in hell he wins that one. It will have to be a fluke knockout if he does because at his age you dont get faster, slicker, more accurate and more fleet footed for 1 last fight. The cards are stacked against him. I swear I'm thinking seriously of dropping money on Murata though. I dont know why but I can see that fight turning sour for GGG. He shouldn't lose on paper but I feel an upset by Murata.

      I'm still WAITING on them to prove themselves, if that's ok with you.......

      Edit -

      GGGeezer ducked entire divs despite talking about ''anyone from 154-160+''
      GGGeezer is nothing without Nelo.
      Who was 29 year old GGGeezer fighting at that point in his career.
      GGGroupies didn't GAF about all of those meaningless defenses.
      Curious who you've beaten besides your boyfriend?

          GGG has to put a beating on Murata to get a decision in Japan. Will he go out on his shield vs Canelo? Because he's going to have to sit in the pocket and **** with Canelo more than he did in the first two fights.

              Not true. He fought legitimate contenders and pounded the **** out of most of them. GGG is definitely an ATG at MW. As far as Canelo goes, most objective fans have him 1-1.

                Believe it or not but I have this premonition that Gennady Golovkin would lose his next fight to Ryota Murata.

                  Golovkin, even at his age, should run over Murata. Murata does nothing but come forward with a high guard and no head movement whatsoever. If he does that against GGG, he's getting chin-checked harder than he's ever been.

GGG is ancient in a boxing ring and I'm honestly not sure he wins in Japan.
                    Yeah... i have been leaning Murata since this fight was rumored from the middle of last year on. Golovkin, who was one of my favorites and I was a huge defender of up until the Alvarez rematch, has fought no one and been so inactive in the past three years. Now he is traveling to the backyard of a fairly skilled and overlooked Japan fighter who is younger and motivated.

                    I get everyone picking Golovkin. Murata is limited and has not been tested. This is his biggest moment, and Golovkin is used to this kind of fight. Golovkin still has the best jab in the game and has a cash-out trilogy match hanging in the balance, so you know he will be focused. Murata's style seems to be perfect for what Golovkin still does well. Not to mention the simple fact I cannot see Murata hurting Golovkin (who is made of granite) so a points win is all that makes sense. But... I just get the gut feeling it all unravels for Golovkin. I think Murata wins, and I can only go with the gut to reason it out.

                      You care. You're here commenting on a purely GGG thread. You know Murata is a meaningful fight.
