Comments Thread For: Abel Sanchez Laughs at Critics Who Feel Golovkin is Getting Old

[Shadoww702]

It was the lack of activity. He's only fought once so far in 2017 instead of his usual 3-4 fights a year.

I've always felt that's why GGG could make 160. I felt if he slowed down and fought 1-2 times a year it would be much harder.

Golovkin is really getting older and slower. Recently I watched GGG-Macklin after GGG-Jacobs. There are very big differences. Against Macklin GGG looked cool, younger and faster. Nowadays GGG is very slow. Even against Wade he looked slow. But I still favor GGG. I believe he will find a key to the victory.

Maybe because he's been fighting more athletic guys? Just a thought lol

Golovkin is getting old. He never had a big gut before. Now he's looking fat.

But I don't think it's going to matter much.

The fight was always planned for September 2017. Stop lying.

And why was that? why not in 2016?

Because Golovkin was a nobody but wanted more than 5x his highest payday.

Show me the list of guys who were their absolute best at 35 or older? Its a non-existent list or at best one with very few names on it. And boxing is an old mans game.

The only benefit to older fighters in boxing that isn't offered to most other older athletes is you have some say so in your opposition which is why there are so many fighters who can still perform at a higher level at older ages. If boxing worked like most other sports where you were competing against the best event after event there would surely be even fewer 35+ year old high performing boxers.

Why do you lie? Oscar was offering a flat fee in 2016. Look at my sig, there are many statements to the press last year. Now, this year, he offered a PPV split.

How many fighters waited until 35 to step up? It's impossible to judge how good he is/was because he's only now fighting A level comp.
