Triple G is already 34, his prime is coming near an end, he's going to have to fight Canelo soon
will he fight Canelo after Jacobs?
Trouble G will be 35 in April. His prime is nowhere near ending. He can bottle to a good 37 years of age, especially if you're a fighter that hasn't seen much damage. However, Abel has said in various training interviews about his wraps, that he hurts his hands easily. However, Golovkin still bangs the mitts like a Hulk. It's probably why he rocks Grants fight night.
If he can fight at 40 like a Bernard taking on a strong Shumenov or Kovalev then that's something..and again...Bernard went up doing so... Golovkin can also be pushing his Middleweight capacity and come in like a Abraham at 168 comfortably. At 35, that can tax the body. He might never move up at all. Dude's too old. Prime was perhaps during the Rubio Age to the Wade Age before defrosting
This fight could've already happened had Canelo not moved down. But yes this fight should happen asap otherwise Golovkin should just move up to 168 after Jacobs.
