    How / why is Golovkin's stamina, at age 35 so good compared to many younger boxers?

    Golovkin is a pressure fighter / power puncher / high volume puncher. All of those aspects of boxing demands some of the highest stamina.

    Yet:

    1) Golovkin is aged 35.

    2) Golovkin is a power puncher who consistently looks to throw knockout punches.

    3) Golovkin is a high volume puncher that throws many punches

    4) Golovkin is a pressure fighter who is consistently coming forward.

    So how comes despite the combination of all those factors, GGG's stamina is still so great?

    Many boxers who aren't a combination of all 4 of those things, but just specialize in one of those things still don't have anywhere near the stamina which Golovkin has. Yet, the 3 aspects of boxing which demands the most stamina, Golovkin specializes in them all and still has as much stamina as he does.

    This warrants massive credit fom an objective standpoint.

    Ask Bernard Hopkins or a fat Foreman going to age 45 and beating a young Moorer and you’ll find out that black bruvas are at a whole other level

      Sorry, but neither were pressure fighters.

        GGG couldn’t even hurt Alvarez... the rising debut Welterweight...

        Just saying... enjoy it while it lasts. GGG fans never had high expectations for him anyways. No 168. Wasted career

          Foreman wasn't a pressure fighter? I'm guessing that you're a new fan.

              IDK. In the Ouma fight when he was 29 he gassed. He somehow improved it, but Golovkin fans keep saying he's physically declined.

                There's something called 'EXCEPTIONAL CIRCUMSTANCES' causing rare, one time events. Such as jet lags, illnesses, sicknesses and etc.

                Golovkin at age 35 also gassed and showed bad stamina against Kell Brook. So do we go by one time feat or by CONSISTENTLY recurring feats?

                  At age 45, he was anything but a pressure fighter. He was a pressure fighter during the 1970's. He also wasn't a high volume puncher in his comeback. He was more of a boxer / boxer puncher.

                    What has that got anything to do with my thread? Are you mentally incapable of sticking to the topic?
