GGg vs Nelo was a DrawThose are the other two top MWs, and he beat both of them in the majority of scorecards (1-0-1 regardless officially, which is still praiseworthy).
GGG is also getting up there in age, he's 35 now, about 4 years out of prime. Most fighters are well past it at that point. Hagler retired at 32. Ali was 7-3 with only one KO from age 34+.
Obviously someone like Hopkins is the exception, not the rule, but even he had no power from age 34+, with only 6 KOs in 40 fights, and that's including much lighter weight fighters coming up like Tito & Oscar.
you musta forgot the cards. Even if Byrd scored it 116-112 you guys would cry that it should’ve been closer to 115-113.
Truth is GGg performed horrid to the best seat in the house dead center, Byrd!Comment

In 2008 Triple G was a youngster from Kazakhstan, green and without an army of trainers, masseurs, nutrition experts, etc. Fast forward 10 years later, he s a fully grown, mature man with all the said help along him. What is so hard to understand?
Same with any elite fighter, with succes comes more money, better facilities, better life, motivation to work harder and experts to helpComment

So staying at one weight making sacrifices in diet and staying in shape are now relegated to "Milking a Division" . This is one of the top absurd posts in your long and storied history of being disconnected from reality.YOu do realize boxing is a business? There are professional initiatives for many departments with consultants such a nutritionists, cardio, lifting, etc..
These are professional athletes, and the ones that are intended to be stars are treated as Olympic calibration aside from the fact that many of these elite boxers have been doing it since before their teens.
Dominic Wade, no fear to calibrate weight adjustment during camp compared to training with against an elite.
Kell Brook...cmon, no intense calibration for camp with that Welter.
Until Jacobs, that was one particular camp behind the scenes being stalled for both parties, assume it was beneficial to GGg or Jacobs.
Simple fact is that GGg before the IBF strap was tipping over 170+.
When u are fighting 4 times a year for any boxer that is a big advantage staying in shape, tip top condition, especially when you aren’t taking damage... common sense
THis is why several us know GGG would actually fight comfortably now at 168. People need to realize, the days of Lil’g Fighting 4 Times a year is over. His metabolic rate is different
Aside from any of that, henceforth the doubters...
“154-168 ez fomi”.
People still don’t get it

He is an Olympic silver medalist and the Kazakh style from his region has prestige.... how green is that when in 2008 he was 26 years of age. That’s 3 years older than when Nelo (152 catch) fought a younger Floyd that faced PAC...In 2008 Triple G was a youngster from Kazakhstan, green and without an army of trainers, masseurs, nutrition experts, etc. Fast forward 10 years later, he s a fully grown, mature man with all the said help along him.
