Comments Thread For: Golovkin Admits He's "Nearing Retirement" But Still Has "Future Plans" After Canelo Fight

[SplitSecond]

Ppl never mention how Manny waited years to rematch Marquez between most of those fights. Canelo didn't wait for GGG to age, he moved on and fought the better fighters to unify and challenged himself while GGG didn't nothing but fight bums and unify with the weakest champ

It’s probably because it’s not true. Marquez rejected the offer for a rematch in 2005 and went to lose vs Chris John.

Now that's funny, I wouldn't mind seeing that myself, this fight is long past due.
Due to Canelo's putting off their first fight for 2 years, and their third fight for 4 years.
They were very calculating in letting the older GGG, to age past his prime while Canelo was coming into his prime.
So now to me this fight doesn't is of no value, or consequence due to GGG age, and decline which is worse than Canelo's.
That being said miraculous comebacks, or flashes of their once vaunted skills do, and have occurred throughout the annal's of boxing.
I'm hoping that this turns out to be one of those instances where there competitive juices, are ignited by their fierce disdain for one another.
Causing their 3rd fight to erupt into pitched battle for the age's, and living up to the many other great trilogies throughout the history of boxing.

Respect...Well said.

I appreciate that brother willieb24, now let's see if they can give us a fight that we'll be talking about for years to come!

Or Cinnabon could have fought him. as were the plans for the trilogy, knowing that corruption gave him a draw and a win that he didn't deserve. Its very convenient 4 years later.

So is Canelos fault that GGG decided to figts a bunch of bums while Canelo Unified vs Daniel Jacobs, IBF middleweight Champion, Kovalev WBO Light Heavy weight Champion, Callum Smith undefeated WBC and WBA champion, Billy Joe Saunders undefeated WBO supermiddle weight Champion, Caleb Plant undefeated IBF super middle weight Champion, undefeated WBA light heavy weight Champion.

While GGG could have unified with Charlo, Andrade, fight Mungia, or could have move up and fought all those guys Canelo beat super middle weight.

Future plans? He is not going to fight guys like jermall, benavidez, morell and andrade. He is better off retiring instead of leading people on with lies and bs.

How is he leading people on with "lies and bs" when one of his goals is to fight in his native country? He never mentioned any of the people on your list.

No, its Cinnabon's fault that he fought anyone before the trilogy as had already been planned after the first fight which ended in a fraudulent draw. He knew that he was given two very corrupt decisions, a draw and a win, and did not want to take his chances on the trilogy fight immediately because it was too dangerous, but it had already been agreed upon and he was being threatened with lawsuits, but no one ever followed through. I "wonder " why? Canelo is the living image of corruption in boxing. So now, instead of fighting a 36 year old still in top form, he wants the fight now, against a 40 year old that everyone says is declining. Mind you, Cinnabon wants it badly now, more than fighting for his dignity in a rematch with Bivol, after the guy kicked his ass for 10 of 12 rounds. Yes sir, Ginger is corruption personified.

According to him the fight was already agree for 2020, but due to covid it didnt happend. Its on video on youtube. Its not Canelos fault that covid happend. Bivol should fight someone elite that is his size, not midgets. Remeber he didnt fight till the end of 2020. Its GGG to choose to fight bums during that time, instead of elite competition.
