    Letīs be honest. GGG is washed up, totally past his prime

    35 years and nearly 400 fights counting amateur and professional

    No wonder heīs thinking about retirement, fighting and training so much for so long takes a huge toll in the human body and mind

    even if GGG is a special human being, hardest mw puncher ever, greatest mw chin ever, arguably the greatest mw ever h2h, period. he is still a human being.

    Heīs been on a steady decline for a while, it was obvious in the Brook fight, and gets more obvious with each new fight

    Prime GGG, the one who destroyed Prokza (aka the polish Sergio Martinez) would have brutally koīd both Jacobs and Canelo for sure

    but that GGG is gone

    GGG can still do great things because he is that good, thatīs the way legendary fighters are. but keep in mind, any future achievements, any new victories by current GGG, they are being accomplished by a shadow of his former self.

          See Larry, you twist stuff. His competition is finally daring to face him now that he is on that past prime decline. They grew a bit of balls when they saw that GGG is only human. But it’s ok. He’s still owning those pvssies.

            Lol. Proksa is one of the skinniest Middleweights of all time...but good one, he did fight like a broke Martinez. Looked like a small 154, or like a bony Martirosyan.

            GGG has looked way bigger since Lemieux compared to earlier in his career and hes been a seasoned Middleweight....

            Truth is nobody wants to admit that he drains looking like Lurch at weighs with suspect excuses about jetlag....

            I would like to see Ggg at 168. We shouldnt give up on him. They're just milking that risk for the belts narrative. I agree though that the strain to continue at 160 might be gggs downfall.

            He always said he could do 168 and said he would fight there. But when?!!?

              Remember when u were in denial that Floyd beat Pac? I think you're better discussing free throws than pretending to flex boxing talk.

                If he was past his prime and washed up, Canelo should've been able to knock him out. Canelo didn't even come close.

                  Naw, he always had the limitations. Some of you just couldn't see them.

                    LOL. I see no difference in this dude's game. He's just fighting people who can exploit him now. He's been overrated for a while now. He's a good fighter, but not the world destroyer he's made out to be. He fought sub-par competition for years.
