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

[satiev1]

The 2 boxers he boxed that were either elite or a notch below he had issues with, lost or could not even drop them...This same "old" GGG just destroyed Vanes a few months ago..why??? because thats the level of boxers he has been destroying his entire career..Take him up a level and you see he is not this monster the media tried to make him out to be. Look at all the people he has stopped, really take a look at all his wins and show me one p4p, elite boxer he has dominated..just 1!!!!!!!!!!!

OVERNIGHT? Who said he got old overnight? He's been getting older. He showed up on hbo 6 years ago. If you really believe that he's still in his prime at 36 then you're a fool.

nobody is going to take you seriously if you can't accept that a 36 year old fighter with 300+ amateur fights and bad defense is old. nobody.

golovkin is old. he just is. he is not the fighter who came to the US in 2012. that was 5-6 years and 17 fights ago.


you can't say the guy has bad defense and that these guys were hitting him and also say that he's not getting old.


honestly larry, you just need to shut up on this one. you sound silly. the guy looked old.

[UNBIASED BOXING]

LOL.

As if boxing at 36 isn't old as is.

Funny how quick people are to forget about age when it isn't their favorite fighter.


Larry's the type of guy to make an excuse for Floyd's performance in the first fight against Maidana, who is nothing more than a B-level fighter, despite Floyd being 37 years old and Maidana being nowhere near P4P quality.

That DAMN. Cheater ginger was born in 1990 because he knew GEE would turn (old) 36 in 2018 overnight.

[Biggles]

While I agree that GGG should've fought people like Cotto at a catchweight back in the day, to prove himself, I'm still of the opinion that old age factored in on GGG's performance vs Canelo.

[Real King Kong]

Give Canelo credit. He was putting that body work on him. That's the reason.

canelo gets credit, but ggg was looking gassed between rounds early...not sure body shots was the cause. he's 36, and he looked like every bit of it in there.

[Jsmooth9876]

Why does he need an excuse when the majority of people who watched both fights thought he won?

[Real King Kong]

He got tired from getting pounded to the body over and over. GGG did not get old. Yes, he is 36 but he is not an old 36 when it comes to boxing age. He has only had 40 fights and the vast majority of his fights lasted less than 5 rds. He has not had many ring wars and the low level of competition he has faced during his career means he has not taken a lot of punishment, this has kept him a relatively healthy and young 36.

he looked like an old fighter from round 1. he's 36 with over 300 amateur fights...he's not in his prime anymore, get over it. it doesn't exactly diminish what canelo was able to do in there, but it's not like he went in there and knocked ggg off at his peak. he waited him out a bit, just like all the other guys who were suddenly open to fight him when he showed signs of decline.

[Gigantes]

he didn't get old over night, he was ALREADY old.

fishnets said he was old at 34 and if he wasn't 34 he would've kicked the woman beater *Floyds ass

fishnets waited till ggg was 35 when he finally let Canelo fight him, what do you call that

[satiev1]

Roy jones jr was in his prime at 35 when he got koed cold. Or did he get old overnight?
