Stop giving GGG all these excuses, he did not get old over night

[cg4life]

everybodys needs to relax, canelo won by 1 round if not a draw.
it was a great close fight, they are evenly matched.
just cuz golovkin lost a close fight doesnt make him a bum or overrated.

this is what happens when top fighters fight each other--u get a great close fight.

He is abit passed his best days.

Still very good though obviously.

We been screaming for this dude to move up for years or just fight a great fighter once. i knew when his ass lost yall would pull hes the too old ****.

Not buying. Canelo walked him down and beat the **** out of him.

The man is 36! Yes, even when he beat Vanes, he looked "old". I guess nobody can get old except for Floyd? When a fighter loses, it's not because he got old, he just sucks?

He old doe

Spence and Crawford are in the same boat as GGG, but yet those 2 guys are elite and the best in their division right now? Who did Spence or Crawford beat that was "elite"?

[CHOWWOKKA]

Hes 36 and has only boxed 196 rounds. That is not alot. Not enough to claim that he is old. Now all of a sudden he steps up his comp and he is conveniently looking old? Maybe he just wasn't that great to begin with.

He old doe

His last fight against Vanes, wasn't posters saying he got rocked by Vanes????

So maybe he's not that great to begin with, yet the "elite" were only able to squeeze a decision win (which most thought was a rob) over him? Hmm.....

He can still fight but it’s natural than an offense minded fighter with limited defense will be past his peak by 36. This isn’t a new sensation. He’s not as good as he was back in 2013-2015 it’s quite clear to see and unfortunately for him that’s coincided with the division heating up. He still beat Jacobs and Canelo on most scorecards and should be 3-0.

Would the GGG of 3-4 years ago done any worse than the last two fights? Unless your biased and have an axe to grind of course not and for most he did enough to win the fights aged 36.

He can still fight obviously. Even if you think Canelo won and most that do think that think Canelo is the best fighter p4p in the world so GGG probably turned out better than you thought. Better fighters, much better fighters have been damaged good at 36 recently. Why is it unfathamable for GGG to have peaked already?
