Golovkin's closing window of opportunity

[Southpawology]

Well-put. I think Sergio was FAR more ballsy and ambitious but the comparison is still relevant. Guys like these tend to age overnight. Even if they are fit looking, a lingering injury or just lack of hunger grips them and it's quickly downhill from there.

Ambitious?? GGG fights 4 times a year soooo if thats not ambitious....

4 nobodies per year (actually, if you look at his record, it's not even close to averaging that).
That's like the fat chick that "works out every day" by walking on the treadmill for 15min. No one is impressed.
Maybe he'll take a real fight one day, something people will actually remember. Not holding my breath.

Gennady Gennadyevich Golovkin, born 8 April 1982.

34-years-old in May for a potential Canelo clash, dude is past his prime.

Oscar De La Hoya was 34 when he fought Floyd Mayweather Jr

Kelly Pavlik is GGG's age, born April 1982.

Anyone see GGG staying elite at an advanced age à la Bernard Hopkins, Floyd Mayweather Jr?

He'll stay elite for a number of years. He hasn't been in any wars and he's he's in a weak division. As long as he fights at 160 he will okay for a while.

If GGG loses to Can't-Nelo I would be shocked!
I think te only way GGG loses is being jobbed on the cards
If he were to lose fawk it I'm still a fan
Just because a fighter loses doesn't mean he is a bum or exposed
You idiots mr Philadelphia Larryxxxxxxxxxxxxxx and all the bitter co tards are hilarious

lol these trolls grasping at straws. GGG is only 10 months older than Quillin, but fools want to act like he is a dinosaur.

I agree but it's no different from your blatant lies, propaganda, and Golovkin hustling.

GGG barely takes any punishment in his fights. Now Ask yourself these questions...Whats GGG's greatest attribute? Whats the last thing that goes for a boxer?

Casual fans will say his punching power.

What in hell name are you even talking about, this is boxing there is no conspiracy theory

Didn't LarryXXX actively stop supporting Broner when Maidana whooped him?
"These hoes ain't loyal" comes to mind.

Wtf! R u talking about the Martinez that never unified the mw division, while ggg is trying to get all the major belts now. R u talking about the Martinez that doesn't want anything to do with defending against ggg when ggg was the interm champ? Bank me on it, ggg will have a better run at mw than Martinez by a long shot....n I am one who has a lot of respect for Martinez....
