Comments Thread For: Gennadiy Golovkin's Future Still Unknown, Vacates IBO Middleweight Title

[MesicoFistology]

Big GGG fan here, but I completely agree...Can't pull the trigger, and has no stomach for making 160 anymore. Go and enjoy your riches and good health.

He had a mediocre record. Only fight 2 good Ames out of 50 opponents. Jacobs and Canelo

[MesicoFistology]

That's a good fight and show Canelo how its done. If GGG comes in prepared he can do some damage.

Hahahahaha stop it

It was golovkins fault that fight stalled. Canelo told him come to 154 and it's done. Golovkin said no. Canelo said ok catchweight. Golovkin said no. But he did say yes to fighting Floyd at 154. But when it came to canelo Abel Sanchez refused. Golovkin refused to make any concessions as the B side. So all that talk of canelo aging him out is nonsense. He's the one who challenged canelo. You can't challenge somebody then demand them come to your weight. Especially when they're the A side.

Bottom line is Golovkin is overrated. He lost to Danny Jacobs too. Lost to dervychenko. He doesn't have a single career defining win. The white media did their best to make him into this all time great. But the proof is in the pudding. His resume is trash.

Nice revisionist history their, I mean then again, Canelo had to age him then get gifted a draw, age him further, get caught cheating then get gifted a SD age him further then finally a legit win but still couldn't KO him. (BTW that's your OPINION that he lost to Jacobs and Dervychencko )but in REALITY he didn't.

HOF for beating nobodies lol

Yet Canela's best win is against GGG, can't have it both way's.

Canelo wasn't at 154 - he was at 155 for 2 years - hiding out from the Charlos at 154 and Golovkin at 160

No one is hiding from the Charlo's, only people hiding from them are waitress at restaurants....

Hang 'em up. Great fighter who will be in upstate NY soon. Had a slew of big wins in the early 10s, anyone who says otherwise probably doesn't know enough about boxers to make an unbiased evaluation.

Lots of people hate on him, but thats how things are for all fighters. Havent met an unbiased fan yet who said he lost the first Canelo fight, but plenty biased fans will claim he lost others he clearly did not (Jacobs). Best MW in the last 18 years, for whatever that is worth.

Kinda bizarre he didn't just announce his retirement. This silent vacating of belts is such a weird way to go out.

Golovkin's prime reign unfortunately was like Mike Tyson's, both looked awesome knocking out basic/overrated fighters, but it all ended with a whimper. Nash out

Less raping or getting knocked out in the ring though.
