    What age will GGG fight until?

    The most punishment the guy has taken in his entire career was from a welterweight as all of his fights have ended early. Has he taken the least amount of punishment with the amount of defenses he's taken, ever???????????????????

    I think 38-41 wlad style no joke. Possibly being just as successful


    good luck all the pretty bys trying to wait him out, they'll waist their own career in the making...

    Maybe late 30's or 40. Yeah, like Wlad.

    But even if he took no punishment at all, he's obviously going to slow down in the next few years. Look at Floyd, you could almost count on one hand how many clean flush shots he took in his career but he started to look his age in the past few years, but good enough to still be the best due to his style and ring IQ and skills.

    Even Wlad to some degree had a safety first style that was effective.

    I'm not sure GGG's style is going to lend itself to still being dominant at 40. He does take shots. Of course the power might be the last thing to go but you can stop pulling the trigger and his ability to cut off the ring and everything will diminish. Punch resistance leaves a lot of fighters as well which is why you see some older fighters getting stopped by guys that wouldn't have put a dent in them at one point.

      He had 35o amnatuer fights so I don't see him lasting as long as BH.
      But he's got a lot to achieve still. So 40 seems good age
