Comments Thread For: Saunders: Golovkin is 35 Now, Can't Keep Up To Outbox Me

The difference is that Canelo had already sacrificed & fought several elite fighters & is only 27 with his p4p#1 resume.

And ggg could've at least gotten the free belt he so clearly was after when he forced a 15 day purse bid deadline,he had no problem trying to get ANOTHER free vacant belt from canelo but had he gotten it off cotto he couldve been unified champ by now & gotten way more money from canelo in negotiations,but since hes a fake hes been saying he "only wants all the belts" then jumps at any money fight he can or bum fight or both,& him fighting Brook weeks after saying a welter jumping 8 lbs is a disgrace to boxing,is far worse than canelo fighting kahn as ggg made brook jump 13 lbs not 8.

And canelo fighting smith on ppv so what he was undefeated wbo champ & sold 350k ppv,& Chávez jr sold 1.3 mil ppv which makes it an even bigger joke that ggg was demanding canelo jump through hoops AFTER jumping to all Brooks demands & fighting for a flat 5 mil zero ppv upside,& just as was proven already ggg is a box office flop,his ppv with canelo barely outsold chavez jr ffs & your fanboi ass was claiming"ggg deserves more than 15 million",& most ggg fanbois were crying canelo was supposedly gonna make 200 million or some dumb sh. :Lol1:

Admit it ggg was pricing himself out & only had 100k ppvs to his name

I stopped reading after your wrote Canelo #1 p4p. Hell, he may not even be top 3 in his own weight class. Done.

Golovkin's boxing skills are typically overshadowed by fans demand for KO's. GGG soundly outboxed Lemieux with a ramrod jab, good balance, and control of range. He didn't need to flamboyantly float around the ring like a ballerina acting like a goose to get Lemieux out of there.
I'd still bet my dollars on a 38-year-old Golovkin pounding Saunders into saw dust over 12 rounds, but GGG does need to get back to a solid body attack and combination punching, which was frustratingly non-apparent during his bout with Canelo.

Funny how you deny that,yet you don't even mention anyone else with a better resume as an example,thats a true strawmans move quitting because you have no rebuttal.

He does have BY FAR the p4p #1 resume especially for being 27 yrs old, he's the face of the sport no matter how much you stay in denial from hate & he has way more of the best fighters on his resume than ANY other current fighter & even if clowns wanna claim he lost all his semi close fights vs the best,hes gone toe to toe with them all without so much as ever being hurt,& he now has yet another supposed boogieman fighter on his resume in ggg.

In the hundreds of years, better yet thousands of years of competitive sports what athlete gets better beyond their early 30s? I keep telling folks on here, as someone on the tail end of their 30s even as a non-athlete you feel the slide. Unless you are using something you are sliding no matter what..in some cases genetics favors people so it's not as visible but ain't no way in hell an athlete isn't declining after like 31/32..they might able to muster a masterful performance but definitely not the same way or with the same consistency as they could in their 20's.

This. I´m no pro athlete, but just trying to stay in shape in my early 40s is a struggle and the decline started ten years ago. Reflexes, recovery, flexibility, it all goes no matter what. Father Time will stay undefeated. I still hope to see GGG beat BJS and Canelo (officially) before he retires.

Gennady might not be able to outbox Saunders

But the pressure he applies for the full 12 rounds is something else and no one yet has shown that they evade it for a full fight

Canelo had to run backwards for most of the fight just to avoid getting KOd and Jacobs while putting up a valient effort got caught early in the fight and acted like he just survived hell when the bell rang

I'm a fan of both and Gennadys seems to aging quick but for Saunders to be successful he has to be on his toes for the full 36 minutes

Intuition, point IQ, and experience boosts legends. The second phase of Michael Jordan peaked at 30-34. His fade away jumper accuracy is still not even done to this day. MJ was hella faster in his first 3-peat, but he was glorious in the 2nd 3-peat. His shooting accuracy was just ****** incredible, he wasnt doing that early in his career nor making such point stats.

This is why Floyd even later could do things easily because of experience and ring IQ.

Nelo didnt "run" backwards. That's imcomplete, GGG is a pressure fighter and kept on luring him to the ropes, and his punch stats speak for themselves. DRAW was justified

Keep telling yourself that man, if you say it enough you might actually convince yourself that's what happend

He ran and did what he had to do to survive.

A draw wasn' t justified. Canelo won some rounds but It wasn't really a close fight

Even if you ignore the disgraceful 118-110 scorecard. The ref that had it a draw gave the 7th to Canelo and there is no way that was a Canelo round

Just take solace that Canelo got another gift decision that he didn't deserve.

The fact Gennady went home with all his straps should let you know that he won the fight.
