Golovkin turns 35 today (April 8)

[Scipio2009]

Golovkin is walking thru Canela

Care for a wager? "walking thru" has many different connotations but at 6.5 rounds (halfway through the 7th round), you're arguing that Golovkin is done with Alvarez?

Golovkin was in there with a fresh, strong 175/176lbs Daniel Jacobs, and he couldn't walk through anything.

Alvarez is a primed and fit 26 years old, walks into the ring near 170lbs as is (with youth on his side, he can still go to 154lbs; once his body no longer allows the cut, he'll settle in at 160lbs for basically the rest of his time in the sport), and he's never even really been wobbled in a fight, let alone knocked down.

His path is clear: Saunders, Jacobs rematch and Canelo. He could retire or lose after that and it wouldn't negatively affect his legacy

Shame about the years wasted in Germany

shame about the years wasted since coming to usa as well. he got obsessed with getting all the belts and it hurt his chances of really taking on true risks

Probably not

Has there ever been a so-called superstar with a resume this weak at 35?

For a brief moment, I was going to say Bernard Hopkins (since he got a late start in the sport), but even he was 36-2-1, with 10 defenses of his IBF 160lb title under his belt by that point.

competitive loss to Roy Jones Jr, wins over Antuan Echols, Robert Allen, Glen Johnson, Joe Lipsey, and Segundo Mercado (all solid fighters), and you've got a pretty decent resume to look back on.

Happy Birthday Champ
