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

[Marvlus Marv]

Or maybe its just the fact he has faced better opposition in his last 2 fights? Seems convenient he has deteriorated just as he steps up a level I mean I don't doubt his style means a shorter career but powers the last thing to go and he didn't ko them like he was doing to all the others

The simple fact is he is a limited fighter who hits hard with an iron chin hes good at what he does which is walking forward using his head as his defense and overwhelming fighters with pressure

Mayweather was right straight up and down no special effects

Exactly. Jacobs & Canola vs say, Macklin & Ishida. A world of difference.

Loving the excuses from ggg fan club!

Rematch will settle it and it should be called,"No Excuses"...but of course team ggg and his fans will have excuses ready guaranteed!

Why do GGG fans need an excuse for a fight that the majority thought he clearly won?

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

Lmao. You just outed a casual.

It's just his competition. The moment your competition goes up a level then your vulnerabilities would be apparent. Even against Brook he was getting hit with some decent shots but because he had zero respect for Brook power we didn't read too much into it.

I'm just being honest, I don't see that decline that everyone else is seeing, It's totally normal that when you step up in competition the dominance just stops and that's it.

Of course age is a factor and father time always wins, but I still see GGG fighting as if there is no tomorrow, the dude has monster stamina and never stops throwing punches.

I'm almost sure that if you put a BJS in there with him his Knockouts will return, a rematch with Stevens, with Rosado, I think GGG would knock them out again no doubt about it.

But I don't see stopping Jacobs or Canelo in neither rematch, it's just my humble opinion.

I would agree that It Is mainly due to the level of opposition but at 35 It Is all down hill from here. He didn't look like he had a lot of power In his shots anymore. Canelo actually looked like the bigger guy and harder puncher.

He also may be limited yet Canelo could do nothing about It and I had the fight 116-112 GGG.

[Madison Boxing]

hes as good as ever. just watch his last fight. Had a guy who some rated as p4p number 1 running to the ropes all night, scared to throw back.

Exactly. I mean if he fights another Macklin for example then he would look like GGG of old, his last two opponents were just on a different level to those fighters.

[b00g13man]

All I'm hearing is excuses. I see the same fighter I saw a few years back against better competition. Hence the struggles.

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.

So you're saying Brook, Jacobs and Canelo aren't good fighters? ****** ALERT
