Comments Thread For: Trainer: GGG Hasn't Lost a Step, He's Fighting Better Fighters

[Ake-Dawg]

As I've said before, you can criticize Canelo for the same **** you criticize Golovkin for. All this talk of Andrade, yada yada; Canelo isn't fighting him either, even though once he got G's belts, he suddenly wanted to be undisputed. "But DAZN wouldn't improve him." Yeah because Canelo had no interest in him, just Kovalev. You think out of all the people Canelo could fight, they picked Golovkin and Kovalev? Gtfoh. Canelo could've easily chosen Andrade for September and DAZN would've approved it because "Canelo moves the needle." Rolls was a bad opponent but those kinds of fights make sense. I didn't see Canelo fight Lara right after his loss to Mayweather, he fought a broken Angulo.

What's your point? How does Canelo actions relate to GGG? Bottom line...GGG steam rolled Rolls but not Canelo and Jacobs though younger. Sound logic that items moreso his competition than his age.

So I guess Golovkin/Rosado was a close fight because GGG's faced was bruised pretty good after that fight too...

Ancient history lesson time again?

A good fighter like Golovkin would beat a fighter like Rolls any time. But the things needed to perform at a high level, Golovkin definitely has lost some of that. He doesn't move the same or have the same snap in his punches that he used to. He's still good enough to make fights competitive and win them but he's not the same fighter he was, competition or not.

You don't judge who wins a fight based on how a fighters face looks.

[REYESdelBOXEO]

You do know that Alvarez has half an inch reach advantage right?

You're right , I also forgot to mention Golovkin picked the judges & the referee + he picked when the fight was gonna start. No national anthems , cause he's gonna come out gun's blazing , firing on all cylinders they said. Only to get dominated in the entire first half of the fight by CANELO, again.

[aboutfkntime]

What he is saying is quite valid. Not sure who could argue against the fact that
GGG was steam rolling bums.

As soon as live experienced bodies show up GGG is fighting tooth and nail.

What’s even worst is the boxing writers insulted our intelligence creating the old fighter sound byte as soon as he was in real fights. GGG is good fighter but no where near the monster we were lead to believe.

exactly !

Well I think GGG needs due credit for stopping the likes of former unified WBA/IBF champion Daniel Geale & former IBF champion David Lemieux. Of course people that throw out the term 'bum' or 'cans' for a fighter have never laced up gloves let alone come out from behind their keyboard so who gives a f***. At the end of the day GGG has nearly fought every credible name at 160, Golovkin's resume is actually impressive but haters gonna hate. People were actually accusing G of ducking Derevyanchenko so at least this fight shuts up a few more critics. Let's see how he goes in his next fight.

There's no such thing as 37 year old middleweight who "hasn't lost a step".

Even Bernard Hopkins wasn't the same athlete at 37 as he was when he was younger.

He was better, smarter, but as an athlete, biology is what it is, which is why you don't see 37 year olds winning the 100-yd dash in the Olympics, or winning the long jump.

Of course it was a KO. But assuming we're going off facial damage, looking at Golovkin's face, it was competitive up until the stoppage, no? People who use Golovkin's face as an indication of him losing to Canelo, really need to watch the fight over again because if they're implying dominance, that's definitely not what happened.

He lost because Canelo won.

[Shadoww702]

exactly !

I second that. His fans and the media made him out to be the best MW EVER! In fact they ALL said he would DESTROY anyone from 154-168 and he was Knocking out Light HW’s like Kov. Daily
