Per interview:
However, he admits that thoughts of retirement have crossed his mind – though that won’t come for a good few years yet.
“Obviously it’s crossed my mind. I’ve thought about it. It’s crossed my mind. I can’t help but think about that.”
So after all the b.s. quotes taken out of context, arguments that Golovkin isn't focused if he's talking about retirement, etc., here's an article with Canelo talking about retirement.
I could easily argue the following:
1. This is Canelo's first monster pay day, after having to take the B side cut against Cotto and Mayweather.
2. If he gets beaten, he can't easily go back to 154 (where he wasn't fighting the best at that weight anyway) and he can't stay at 160, where he has to go through Golovkin.
3. A second loss on his record will permanently tarnish the idea that he is p4p, and limit how much money he can make going forward.
Therefore Canelo is already thinking about taking his paycheck and retiring.
I COULD make that argument, but I don't believe that any more than people should believe Golovkin is unmotivated.
The answers people give in interviews is dependent on the questions that get asked! You can't divine what someone is thinking about from them, especially when they are taken out of context.
