    Could Golovkin handle power like Klitschko at 41 years of age?

    Gotta admit, Wlad Klitschko was perhaps the best Defensive Euro handler of this era. Times distance, counters, drags time, clinched, and still had power to pop like Floyd... to do that against a Juggernaut in Joshua and still go the Championship rounds when in his younger days his chin was suspect against Foreman type Southpaws in a Corrie Saunders may he Rest In Peace...

    So can Golvokin challenge Father Time? How would you compare Joshua to Alvarez type difficulty?

    The End.

      What convoluted, fanboy point are you trying to make here?

        That Klitschko is the Eastern Euro Marquez of this era?

          Well yeah, he is still fighting at a very high level at his age. I agree with that. You lost me when it came to GGG, I don't get the connection.

            Don't think he'll have the longevity of Wlad. GGG's style will be more affected by age than Wlad.

              Everything around here goes back to GGG somehow or another. It's like 6 degrees of separation.

              And to answer the question, I dont think GGG handles Joshuas power at 41

                I guess the question is if GGG ages as well as Wlad.

                Who knows, but it is possible. Power and skill stick around, speed, legs and reflexes don't. I would like to see him get some more meaningful fights soon, but it is hard to predict longevity. I thought Marquez was going to burn out at 30. I didn't count on the healing powers of urine.

                    Various countries around the world still rock folkloric remedies in drinking urine, be it from the ''warriors,'' but the natives of America weren't the only ones doing it around the world. Probably some shared shaman traditions for thousands of years. Thing is even modern medical science acknowledges the benefits of drinking your own urine for ''particular'' remedies. It's all online and people can learn from it.

                    But more importantly, What were Klitschko's most difficult wins or losses compared to Lil'Gs opposition. That's how we can compare longetivity and different skill.

                    Or rather, why does Klitschko, the Gold Medalist, seem to move much better than Golovkin at such an age?
