    Why are posters calling Kovalev old but demanded a 3rd GGG fight?

    GGG is older then Kovalev so either way is he not choosing an old man??? I think maybe he should fight Andrade

      Because the longevity of a fighter isn't a constant... Does that need to be explained to you?

        I think Canelo vs Kovalev is a great fight. Kovalev is still a top3 LHW I think.

        Please just don't drain him.

          Not everyone ages at the same rate and if you add copious amounts of vodka you speed the process, no doubt.

            Yes please explain since GGG has far more fights

              He should fight Andrade yes, Andrade is free right now.

              But to answer your question: both GGG
              Fights were very close and fans want a third one. GGG isn't as vulnerable as Kovalev is and there won't be any weight issues. You said he won't drain Kovalev, but I doubt that

                I'm guessing due to the fact that Kovalev has been stopped in 2 of like his last 4 or 5 fights and shown weakness while GGG, while slowing down, hasn't really shown any yet.

                  Different circumstances. 3G doesn't look gassed halfway through a fight.

                    Lifestyle choices play a big part in how we age, moreso for athletes. I have never seen nor heard of golovkin holding a drink or partying. Same with Floyd. Anyone here who partied in their 20s hard knows this all to well in their 30s and 40's. I just turned 40 myself, that shhh catches up to you like a bomb. Luckily I didn't do much of that shh in my 30s but I have friends my age who are all fkd up from the drinking and partying and shh.
