Comments Thread For: Gennady Golovkin, 35, Hopes to Continue Fighting Until He's 40

[turnedup]

As someone in his later thirties nothing gets easier especially physical shh. Wish him well but he should consider 2-3 years max. Maybe he's woke from this fight but the reality is he ain't going to get any faster, hit any harder, and that chin is going to get more susceptible as the years go on. For a guy that gets off on testing his chin like he does, that cannot end well.

There is no such thing as "race". It does not exist.

Race exists as a classification that people assign to themselves and to others, and that's all.

The "one drop" theory - which says that if a person has one non-european ancestor, no matter how far back, that person cannot be "white" - was used by slave traders to justify selling people of mixed African/European ancestry as ******, and it still has influence in modern day western thought.

GGG v Ward

This fight depends on how well K2 is able to force Ward to fight within the rules. If Ward is allowed unfettered fouling, then a tough fight, although GGG could hint Ward with an elbow across the head too, and Ward wouldn't want that again.

But if Ward is forced to strictly box without constantly fouling, or getting deducted points when he does, GGG has a great shot at beating Ward. Ward only ability comes from his cheating. Every damn major win is marked by getting away with fouls.

If GGG does fight Ward, he should get the right ref, put that shiiit in Europe or GGG home country (Ward always is home fighter) and if Ward fouls, GGG should foul harder. **** Ward, he's just a golden boy cheater that gets away with it.

I think Ward cheats but he is also a good boxer. Golovkin would be the underdog for sure. I'd have Golovkin foul Ward immediately in the fight. An "accidental" low blow or thumb him. He won't get DQ in the first round. He may not even get a point deducted.

Might as well talk that talk now while you can. Canelo is about to completely wreck the career of this undefeated prime MW. He's a young 35 so no excuses when Canelo wrecks this guy.

Lol @ young 35.

Is GGG ever moving up in weight?

Why? Who cares he's a small middleweight and has plenty going on at 160.

IF GGG beats Canelo and it's an if because ginger is gonna bring it, I would love to see GGG unity then fight Charlo, then go up to 168 not because he needs to but for the challenge.

Lol @ young 35.

Way less rounds boxed professionally than Canelo. Canelo's been in with the tougher competition. More miles on Canelo. He still takes out the young prime undefeated champion because he's just that damn good.

It's not like Golovkin was a spring chicken who just magically jumped into the pro game. He was in the amateurs for a long ass time.
