    Why wasnt GGG sharp against Dominic Wade?

    Is he out of his prime or did he simply just not take the fight seriously?
    Id go with the latter simply because he looked flabby, that extra fat was indicative of relaxed training.
    But he is 34 years old, you just hope hes not going downhil from now. Seriously would be the biggest waste of talent in the last 20 years if he didnt fight the best of this era.

    Probably didn't take him too seriously. He was just some mandatory defense they threw together since Canelo is terrified of Golovkin.

      I think people saw him walk over Lemieux and forgot, the way he fought Sat is how he always fights. I thought he was sharper than normal, even if not as "on" as he was against Lemieux. Watch him vs Murrary or Monroe, he stomped a hole in Wade compared to those two fights.

        Nothing with Wade to respect , he said himself in the first round he knew Wade had nothing , its a mistake to think Gennady is just a puncher he is also a top class boxer as his amateur record shows , he will fight the real opponents with a lot more skill and respect .

        Wade was so bad , no footwork and just arm punches I thought how did this guy stop anyone , then I looked at his resume and it all clicked , the guy was a can that beat less than cans , like Bunce said Wade should never have got that fight .

          Getting stopped in a few rounds is a whole lot more generous compared to what he did to Murray and Munroe.

            I don't think he was particularly up for the fight it was forced on him as Canelo and Saunders both ducked.

              This is the third thread you've made on this exact same topic since the fight. This is some next level trolling.
