It's not BS to ackowledge that. Do you really think Micheal Spinks would of beat Holmes when Holmes was in his prime I don't. There is no way Marciano would have dominated Joe Louis in his prime. Age matters because reflexes are a huge part of boxing. Reflexes diminish as anyone ages. It's the difference between landing a counter lunch or getting hit with a punch you would have dodged in your prime. There are some exceptions because some fighters' styles are condusive to lasting longer. Saying that a fighters age is irrelevant is the real BS.

Originally posted by Robi13 View PostSee, maybe ggg and his fans aren’t all to blame. Maybe you guys are legit dumb, no offense. I never said there wasn’t a gap in age. I said, y’all were crying since before the first fight about age, so why would canelo fight ggg now? Y’all still gonna b.itch about the age and not give canelo his credit... that’s what I’m taking about

Originally posted by TonyGe View PostI gave credit to Canelo for his showing in the second fight. I don't think he won but I gave him credit. He's a good fighter no doubt. I have problems with his opponent selection the scoring of his fights and his weight manipulation. I don't care for him but I'm willing to give him credit for legitimate fights. For example the Lara fight. Lara was a legitimate threat. Despite the opinion of many on the forum I thought Canelo beat him in a close fight. As far as Golovkin goes if he's willing to fight him that's fine with me. If he's willing to settle this I support him. If he wants to move on I'm fine with that too. If Canelo decides to fight Golovkin or move on I think you would support him either way.

Originally posted by TonyGe View PostWhat about them? He's fought most of the guys that were highly rated in his division. I don't have a problem with who he fought. The guys you mentioned. OK let's start with Derev. How come he didn't fight him when he was waiting for the Canelo rematch and had to find an opponent on short notice. I assume you watched the fight when it finally happened. You want Golovkin to fight this guy and jeopardize the rematch? Derev gave him hell. Leading up to the fight Golovkin said he was familiar with Derev. Golovkin, his managers trainer and promoter knew this guy was no joke. As it turned out they were right. They said they would fight him down the road for more money and that's what happened but no people saw it as an opportunity to discredit him and jumped on the bandwagon. Brook is another example. Eubank Sn. sabatoged the fight in England either intentionally or by just being unreasonable. The fight fell apart and in order to keep it in England Hearn offered the fight to Brook who jumped at the chance to fight him and he was well paid. Yes he's fought guys from a lower weight division just like Hagler, Monzon, SRR etc. etc. This has been going on forever in boxing it's not unusual. It going to keep happening. As far as him not dropping weight to fight guys in a lower division. Why would a reigning champion drop weight put his title on the line against a Challenger. Money plain and simple. If the money isn't there it's not likely going to happen. That's why Golovkin said publically in an ESPN interview that he would drop weight for Mayweather but not for Canelo. IMO any champion who puts his title on the line and takes a weight cut is an idiot unless the money is huge. Factor in that Golovkin started late and was in his 30's when people were demanding that he take a weight cut to fight Canelo. It's absurd. At that age weight cutting is a struggle and most likely will end up badly. If Canelo annd Golovkin fight yeah Canelo will most likely beat him for real this time. Maybe stop him. That's OK with me because Golovkin is entitled to try and correct the two decisions that went against him. I think even you agree that Golovkin belives in his heart that he won both of those fights. Either way rematch or no rematch if Golovkin decides he can't win and passes or Canelo just won't fight him I'm OK with it.
