Comments Thread For: GGG: Biggest Opponent is My Age & Determination To Keep Boxing

[etech1]

Sounds like he starts to make excuse just incase he struggle in fight..

I'm not so sure about that. At 37, fourty is straight up staring you in the face.

20s? You're young and you know it.

30s? Ok, I'm still young. Not a spring chicken, but I'm not old.

40? Ahhh fk.

Everybody cant be Floyd, at 37 the boy was humiliating cats 15lbs bigger than him.

Like I said in my comment, everybody cant be Floyd! Watch and see what I tell you; Crawford, Loma, Spence, will all be washed in their early 30's

Indeed G is in a tough fight. Derevo looked in top shape and I'm pretty sure he's very hungry and he knows this may be his last big ticket. The loser of this fight will have his stocks dwarfed. Btw

Yes. Floyd seemed to be a cut above them all. If only he wouldn't have worked the system, with fake retirements, hand picked opponents, (to make sure he matched up well against them), long layoffs, and waiting til fighters slowed down to fight them, he'd be the true goat. He may be the goat, but he never proved it. I got a prime RJJ as the goat.

Stop saying that Golovkin had 20 defenses at middleweight. The WBA "regular" belt does not count.

[Real King Kong]

The loser will retire from boxing after this fight. Derevyanchenko will never get such a payday again in his career and if GGG loses then his stock decreases heavily. Klitschko signed a new 5 fight deal with RTL before the first Fury fight and 2 fights later he retired from boxing. Thats a hint to GGG´s 6 fight deal with DAZN......

A bit dramatic. If a guy loses he needs to retire?

[Vodkaholic]

He making excuses. Hes in his prime yall

Yes it does. You don't get to move the goalposts around belts you find convenient lol.

It's a bullshit belt. The WBA's real champion is the "super" champion not the regular champion.

For that same reason I don't consider that Canelo's win over Rocky Fielding made him a champion at 168.

There's no hard and fast rule, the WBA count it and I guess that's what the official record states, but the general consensus among rational people is that you can only count 1 belt per sanction org per division at any given time.

Problem is, sometimes there's a super champ and sometimes there ain't. If there's no super champ seems most people are willing to accept that WBA World champ is the legitimate titlist... otherwise Broner would never have been a champ at WW for instance, or Linares at LW, yet these are accepted without question.

Like I say - no hard and fast rule, but that seems to be a sensible compromise.
