Excuses for when golovkin loses thread

[EdWins]

canelo/goldenboy waited till golovkin got old, blah blah blah

[Joe Beamish]

The rematch will be just like the first fight, but Golovkin is older and Canelo always has the GoldenBoy advantage with the judges.

Canelo by decision, almost certainly. No excuses necessary, just cold facts.

Golovkin yung-doe.

Golovkin too old doe. Past his prime, and he beat prime Lemieux doe - but now he too old doe. Prime GGG the best ever doe

[Cutthroat]

You are still talking about 30...what's closer to your peak, 30 or 35? So a 35 year old fighter with nearly 390 fights and close to three decades of being punched in the face is at his peak? Even the great Andre Ward would disagree with you and your take. Was he a better fighter at 30? Yes, can he still perform at 35 as he did at 30? No. Does his body need the same amount of rest? No. Does his body ache more? Yes. Is his speed still the same? No. Now you have a power puncher who was never really fast on his feet or with his hands in the first place, put him in his mid 30s and slow him down some more..and that's a fighter in his prime or near it? In what galaxy bro?

Golovkin was 28 when he hired Sanchez in 2010. It took years of Sanchez's coaching, as well as opponents to learn from, for ggg to finally hit his prime years as a boxer which is around 33 to now.

ggg was a completely different fighter pre-Sanchez, and his level of competition was dramatically different as well.

Ward was 33 when he beat Kovalev looking better than ever, he retired due to a lack of big pay days and got out with his health intact.

ggg's style does not rely on speed, agility, it relies on positioning, distance, balance, timing, power which all got better when he hired Sanchez in his 30's.

If Golovkin loses he loses. Right now he’s undefeated. Let’s all wait and see. Hopefully there won’t be any controversy and may the best man win.

Dude I don't think you really understand what "PRIME" actually means...because you not once have taken into account reflexes, healing, stamina, speed, or detereoration. So i'm just going to end this conversation with you because I honestly feel like either you don't know what prime/peak for an athlete actually means, either that or you just want to smack that down to sell some hate filled argument. Nothing else makes sense, completely illogical replies is all you've posted.

GGG's first loss apologetics

Before commenting on the excuses, I should say I am a big fan of GGG, but as so many of you said, father time is undefeated. I can't see Golovkin winning this time.

1. He had a training injury that he was too much Clint Eastwood to reveal, until after the fight, which, according to his boosters, will basically mean Canelo lost...because he would have absolutely won without the shoulder, elbow, hand, pinky, toenail injury, whatever.

2. One bad call by the ref led to a cut from a headbutt being chalked up to a punch. Then GGG was just about to win or was coming on when it was stopped.

3. Adalaide Byrd got hold of an eraser, a pencil and had a magician's string of handkerchiefs soaked in chloroform up her sleeve...knocked out the judges with the gas and got her revenge.

[The D3vil]

I'm not cherry picking anything, it's COMMON in boxing for fighters to get exposed by sub-par competition in their 20's. Go through boxing's history of all the knock downs, close fights and you'll see it's EVERYWHERE.

The fact is a 30 year old ggg went life and death with Ouma. You have to believe a 35 year old version wouldn't do better.

And for the last time, ggg is not a shot fighter, he's still capable of beating most of the MW division, the problem is his competition is better.

Dude, Muhammad Ali was losing to Leon Spinks at 35

Sugar Ray Robinson was losing to Carmen Basillio and Gene Fullmer at 35

Sugar Ray Leonard was losing to Terry Norris at 35

Marvin Hagler was retired by 33

Oscar De La Hoya was getting embarrassed by a much smaller Manny Pacquiao at 35

Tito Trinidad was getting beat down by a shot Roy Jones at 35

Larry Holmes was losing to Michael Spinks at 35.

So, PLEASE tell me how EVERYBODY's so much better at 35, than they were at 28.

****ing ridiculous

[McNulty]

Ok let's get the excuses out of the way guys

1. Fixed
2. Too old.

Happy now?

No I'm not sure you don't understand what prime is.

I pinpointed the years where ggg hired Sanchez who would ultimately make him what he is today.

Lewis & Wladimir did the same thing with Emmanuel Steward hiring him after they got KO'd. It took them years to learn from Steward to become their absolute best as fighters.
