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

[SUBZER0ED]

if thats the case, why were some fans and the media realistic about his level of opposition, instead of make excuses for the mismatches

you never know how great a fighter is until they fight top guys and he was being hyped to the heavens for knocking out domestic level guys bro

Brook is 2 divisions below him, come on bro

if you look at my posts even the OP in this one i always acknowledge his talent...he is avery good fighter...he just was never p4p top 3 in my eyes and his competition never warranted p4p placement...you earn it by beating the best in your divison or moving up

most of the hype was speculation based off knocking out overmatched opponents much like every other great puncher gets

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??

Golvokin doesn't add more muscle. Any big 147 or 154 that would prep For Golovkin will be adding more muscle to cap at 160 and then aim for the drain.

You're lying to yourself if you think he wouldn't beat those pretenders, hell Jacobs would beat all of them easy.

I'd rather see them prove it than give imaginary victories

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.

Another thing to keep in mind is that it may be Sanchez who slipped in that last fight. His gameplan was audible between rounds and he was calling for GG to wait for opportunities that never came. I few times GG broke plans and went for it, he looked great. I don't think Golovkin himself looked less capable, but he was being coached poorly and against an opponent who was playing to his weakness.

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.

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

many fighters fought at a high level at 35 bro..do your own research

considering the level of opposition he has faced, no wars, so many knockouts, his 35 aint the same as orlando salido's 35

use your brain man

Hopkins was a better fighter at 35 than 27, well preserved and fought crap competition too until moving up to 175

all fighters age different and have different levels of wear and tear

There's nothing you can say to change the fact that a 35 yr old is not at their physical peak. If you don't think that matters cuz hopkins etc...that's on you. Adjusments can be made and experience plays a part, but 35 yr old ggg is not performing at peak level...it's all downhill unless he gets on some peds. Also, i believe hopkins used peds.

Thank k2 for wasting his prime on no names then

[Real King Kong]

when did you notice his "decline"

vs dominic " house arrest" wade

or Martin "never was" murray

I know you're intending to be sarcastic, but i believe ggg was at his peak from around 2012-2014. You claim to know boxing...are you telling me ggg still looks as sharp? Seriously...arguing that a 35yr old is in their prime is just ******.
