GGG's explosiveness is gone. Here is the proof.

[Ray Corso]

Everyone gets older and that brings slower reactions on all fronts.

The bottom line is that he just won two fights against younger "prime" boxers who are international talents!

He WON! If you think he lost those bouts you need to reconsider your judging abilities.

Instead of knocking this guy people should applaud his efferts and willingness to compete & win.

All fighters get old at different ages no one is the same.
After an amateur career amassing 400 bouts then a pro career with 35+ a 35 year old with over 430 fights WILL get old and begin to decline.

So if he is declining he just beat two prime younger men!!

He deserves credit not bashing, some on this forum need to stop the fan bias baby crap and grow up!

I am very confused how the masses believe GGG won when I saw Ca$hnelo outbox the guy, move effectively, land the cleaner punches/counter-punches, and defend beautifully.

The only thing GGG did better than Ca$h was jab, come forward all night, and eat punches with his face.

GGG is like a younger Margarito...nothing special there. And Ca$h won that fight 115-113 and maybe even 116-112.

Ca$h won 1, 2, 3, 10, 11, 12 for certain. Other rounds are more debatable

I am shocked so many boxers think GGG clearly won! Even the ones who are counter punchers and fight off the backfoot claim GGG was robbed!

I have Canelo round 4, GGG did nothing but landed 1 clean left hook and while Canelo landed 3 hooks to the body and some jabs!

Have it 8-4 Canelo currently, he really exceeded expectations and put on a great performance but it is being overshadowed by the HBO and Rocky movie brainwashing programming!

GGG's trainer failed him and even admitted if it went to the final bell that it's THEIR FAULT!

I saw no adjustments from Golovkin and or informational instructions from Sanchez between the rounds!

All GGG did was hastine his approach and ate more shots!

I ask these GGG fans look at both fighters face post fight, who would you rather be they tell me...i rather be the guy with the belts still! LOL

Lmao it's such a joke. They crier after Jacobs fight that danny was beat up and 97G wasnt.

Well, Ca$h looked like, well, Ca$h. 97G was busted the fuck uck up XD

Different level of opponent, last few fights been against top shelf so everything changes.

so kell brook was a top shelf opponent for a pound for pound ranked middleweight? are you high, and do you want to pass that sh#t to your homie NE?


golovkin is on the decline. been saying that for a while now. most fighters are when they're in their mid 30's [and rich,] especially when your idea of defense can be reduced to taking punches on your forehead.

Yes hes regressing, i made a thread a couple days ago also.

[RussB23]

I'm staring to think GGG and Kovalev were on that Russian drug that was banned. Kovalev was a monster than when that stuff was banned he went 12 rounds with some chump than lost to Ward twice even though I had him winning fight one 114 to 113. GGG was just tapping guys and they would fall now he goes 12 rounds twice

Ive also suspected this, to me no doubt GGG has declined the past 2-3 years. Either its age, or hes not on the **** he was on. Or maybe even both, but i have no doubt he isnt the same fighter anymore.

[GhostofDempsey]

It is likely a combination of wear and tear with over 400 fights to his pro and amateur resume and that he is fighting better competition in his last three fights. I see him fighting another year or two and that is it. Hopefully unify with Saunders and rematch Canelo.

[Johnny2x2x]

My mistake. You were talking GGG just tapping guys and knocking them out. Same answer. GGG wasn't tapping them, he was blasting them. He was knocking guys flying through the air. He was NOt tapping them. If GGG's power is gone why was iron jawed Canelo running so much and what was Jacobs doing on the canvas? Kovalev and GGG hit hard because they are born punchers with fast punches thrown correctly not because of a Russian steroid that turns taps into bombs.

Canelo was running because he was tired, whenever they exchanged in the center of the ring he was gaining the edge.

[stuff jones]

He's 35. Of course he's not as explosive as a few years ago. Which 35 year old fighters are?
