Comments Thread For: Roberto Duran: Golovkin is Not The Same as Before - He Should Retire

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Roberto Duran's career spanned 31 years as a professional across 119 fights in eight different weight divisions. He fought until the age of 50, retiring in 2001 with a record of 103 wins (70 KOs) and 16 losses.

Can't really disagree with Duran on his assessment. My guess is GGG sells his name to add to a few other fighters' resumes before he retires (and making some money in the process). Perhaps he wins a few but probably not.

Duran is correct! GGG should say "no mas".

[Tatabanya]

Said the man who fought until he was 67 or so. And, as much as I love Duran madly, he was absolutely pathetic to watch under such circumstances.

If he does continue fighting he needs to get rid of Jonathan banks as his trainer he’s done nothing but regress with him.

No sheeit!???………you think it could because he’s 40? Bunch of geniuses on here or 14 year olds.

People told him the same when he lost to Hearns

Even at 40 and with diminished skills G could still be competitive against most guys but what's the point.
Like Vince Carter said after his All Star Dunk, "It's over!"

Duran is probably right, but he fought way past his prime until 50, by Duran's own standard/action's GGG still has 10 more year's left in his career.
Duran was a throw back, old school fighter, he was such a good fighter that he could get away with extending his career, and still find some success.
GGG definitely shouldn't/better not try to fight that long, or for very long after last Saturday's fight, or he will leave this game as damaged good's.

Made it to the end
