Comments Thread For: HBO's Lampley Explains: Golovkin is Slipping, He's Deteriorating

[Slowhand]

G is a 35 yo pressure fighter so of course he´s past his best. Then again, he still beat the Golden Cash Cow who had youth, speed and most likely weight advantage so I´d say Golovkin must be pretty good..? (btw I can live with the D, on second wathing I gave Canelo all the swing rds and had it 114-114)

Lampley he's deteriorating because they aged him 2 years for the fight he's 37 canello 7 years younger at least but ggg a deteriorated fighter beat Canella who was in his prime what's that say 2 years ago ko

??? GGG is NOT 37. If Canelo is 7 years younger that would put him at 30??? Again another ******ed GGG fan. He sure does scrap the bottom of the barrel when it comes to fans...

Why is everyone obsessed with GGG potentially slipping? Is it because he's white, undefeated, undisputed and forced Mayweather and coWard to retire so people would quit asking them to get their asses kicked by GGG?

There is nothing wrong with aging. It is part of life. Athletes can still compete at the highest level well beyond their "prime." They have to work harder, adapt and adjust their game. Incidentally, if you are right and GGG has not yet declined, that means that Canelo acquitted himself well against a prime-time GGG. I am glad to know that.

Technically, he's Asian. His mother is Korean and his father is Kazakh. Kazakhstan is in the continent of Asia.

Actually, his father is Russian, but most of Russia is in Asia so he is Asian.

I love how GGG is slipping but he just dominated an unstoppable force.

Kills you your company fighter Canella got beat for the world to see last night polls show 75% ggg win

Which idol is this supposed to be?

Golovkin looked spectacular when he was knocking out lesser competition. It took a WW, a cancer patient, and guy with stamina issues to show that he's not the monster everyone made him out to be. I'm sure the guy you think is my idol would make easy work out of him.

On your knees, heretic.

Well, no ****. Golovkin's well into his 35th year and it's starting to show. Add in the improved competition and it's clear that it's only a matter of time til he takes his first L. I'm finding it baffling that some posters are genuinely claiming his age is nothing to do with his apparent decline... like any fighter is actually better at 35 than at say 32 or 33 (pretty much the age when gained experience can no longer outweigh physical decline except in a small minority of outlying cases).

I never knew someone could go past FULL RTARD

You must drive a very fast car.

Well hbo and golden boy better hope that this deteriorating version of ggg doesn't beat their cash cow in a rematch. That'd be terrible for business if a supposed old worn down fighter beats the young in their prime superstar face of boxing.
