GGG has 1 competitive fight now he is "slipping" yea right more like media overhyping

[j0zef]

Close n entertaining fights deserve rematches... Are you a boxing fan?

You don't even read the things you quote, do you?

Thank k2 for wasting his prime on no names then

That they did...nobody can dispute that. Not every top fighter goes on to have a great career...but his, for various reasons, has been squandered.

[Real King Kong]

And that's when the haters will line up screaming, "See, told you he's a hype job!"

It's already happening...that's the premise of this thread. It didn't even take a loss, just a close fight.

[Sledgeweather17]

He's been slipping for a while now...I know it doesn't fit with your narrative tho. Name some other fighters who are at their peak at 35 yrs old. When he finally loses, you'll be saying he was in his prime even if he's 40.

Those other fighters fought quality opposition for many years prior to reaching that age and turned pro much earlier. It's not a valid comparison and you know it.

Golovkin aint slipping, he been exposed.

It has nothing to do with any of that. 35 is 35...some may be less physically diminished than others, but nobody is in their physical prime at 35 yrs old.

Brook is much bigger than the division he normally fights in, and that was highly publicized. Didn't he actually outweigh GGG on fight night? If you have touted his talent, I haven't seen much of it as I've seen the ragging on him. Like I said, since Golovkin's been "exposed" we should see challengers coming out of the woodwork, right? Right??

Brook is the IBF champion which means he can't rehydrate more than 10lbs before the morning of the fight weigh-in. His only fight night weight on record is 156. Show me the evidence of him being a massive WW. If he's a massive WW, Golovkin is a massive MW and he still fought someone from 2 divisions smaller.

Struggling to make weight doesn't mean he's massive in the ring on fight night. Some people can't dehydrate as much as others.

GGG just isnt the fighter the media and his die hards made him out to be


he is a very good fighter, could be great if he actually takes risks

jacobs deserves a rematch and you same whining crybabies who whined about ward and kov should be upset your hero will swerve his onlu competitive oppponent

come on man....he aint slipping, he was just slightly overrated by some, and crazy overrated by hbo n casuals

If Jacobs had made the IBF fight day weigh in, but GGG had skipped it, relinquished his IBF title, and refused to step on the scales before getting in the ring, you would be squealing like a stuck pig about it.

Jacobs got outboxed 8-4 type of win, that's being generous to Jacobs.
No rematch is needed, the unified champion took this guy to boxing school and Jacobs didn't even have the sporting integrity to take part for the IBF weigh in, what kind of guy does that?
The GGG haters are actually beyond pathetic.

[M Bison]

Comparing Golovkin-Jacobs to Ward-Kovalev is dumb. One had a rematch clause, the other did not. One has a much better option as the next fight, the other did not. One talked about retiring, the other did not. You can say that Jacobs deserves a rematch (he does), but to say both situations are the same makes you an idiotic fanboy.


Pretty much only decent thing in this thread.

Basically Sanchez planned for Danny to start swinging wildly and expose himself (and get KTFO in the process), which never happened. The only good about Sanchez' plan was the jab. I wouldn't have thought of trying to outjab a bigger, stronger opponent, but it happened. Golovkin was not well coached in that fight, however he still outjabbed his bigger and stronger foe and was the aggressor and ring general for most of the fight.

Let's not try to distort facts here though. The dude IS 35. He is getting old, and he will lose eventually.

You're all acting like 35 is old... didn't Floyd Mayweather carry on strong to near 40yo against the top guys in his division?
Sure he might lose, but we don't definitely know If he will and who will hand him that loss because right now at 160 to 168 there isn't any clear cut guy who will do it, he already outboxed the guy who was the number 2 of the 160 division.

[Larry the boss]

but somehow Floyd was still prime at 37
