Golovkin was 35 in the first fight with Canelo and yes there is a difference between GGG at 33 vs. 35. At 33, he was coming off of a masterclass against David Lemieux whereas he looked vulnerable against Kell Brook and Daniel Jacobs before Canelo took the fight. Imagine if Canelo had jumped the the opportunity before Kell Brook did. It was certainly doable if he wanted it.
Imagine if Canelo NEVER fought GGG!

I thought ggg was 34 years old and 8 months??? Should we do weeks and then maybe days???Golovkin was 35 in the first fight with Canelo and yes there is a difference between GGG at 33 vs. 35.

How about the hour when GGg got old???
Tell me the exact day down to the minute ggg got old? Funny PAC with way more wars don’t have this problem doe...Comment

Somewhere between the Kell Brook and Daniel Jacobs. He didn't look as explosive in those fights as he did before. My point is that if Canelo had fought GGG earlier then there wouldn't be a perception that he waited Golovkin out. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad we got two excellent fights; I just feel like Canelo could have fought GGG right after he beat Miguel Cotto instead of nearly decapitating Amir Khan.Comment

Canelo could have fought Golovkin in 2016 before Kell Brook did. He could have been the one to "expose" GGG before someone else made him look human. Canelo would have gotten even more credit for that and he didn't have to wait until GGG looked vulnerable against Brook and Daniel Jacobs before facing him.
I've never said that Golovkin was "old" when Canelo fought him; I just felt like he was SLIGHTLY past his peak but still excellent. That doesn't mean Canelo isn't a great fighter, it just means that he and De La Hoya knew that time was on their side so they acted accordingly.Comment

Yeah I think there is a physical difference between a 33 or just turned 34 and a 35 1/2 Golovkin
When was the first time Golovkin looked actually beatable when he was 2 weeks shy of 35 fighting Jacobs , is that a just a fluke ? Was is that he finally was racing better competition or was it better competition was willing to fight him when he got to 35.
I don’t think in 2017 I said Canelo was getting Ko. I knew I said Golovkin will win
my point was Golovkin like every other Future HOF fighter Canelo has fought was 35+ when they fought which is a fact , a age when every fighter is on the physical decline. You may disagree but this strategy isn’t done by pure random chance by Canelo matchmakers ,
your response that I said Canelo was getting KTFO which doesn’t even matter and I’m almost positive I didn’t say anything close to that when the fight became a reality but why does it matter what my opinion was , I’m damn near batting the Mendoza line the last year or two with my predictions. Sh.it I lost what $200-300 to you when I thought Vanes would make it to what the 4-5th Round against Golovkin , And I was confident in that one until about 30 seconds into round 1 , Pointing out a prediction of mine thats wrong isn’t really something you should brag about , it doesn’t change the reason when & why Canelos matchmakers decide When certain fights happenComment

Of course you got your $ , I know the internet is full of people that don’t have to be responsible for what they type and we will never meet each and if if we did , we wouldn’t know it
For me whether it’s the real world or over the Internet if I make a bet , I honour that sh.it you got your $ The next day , it’s the principle of it, you always pay what you owe and the person who is owed shouldn’t have to chase a person down, mention it or even remember that their owed $ they still get paid As soon as f.ucking possible. Internet or not , if you can’t stand behind a agreement or words you say then you’re just a piece of sh.it
If those are your only 2 recent notable Ls you got wrong then your Golden , sh.it I’m starting to think I’m a real life version of Eddie Mush from the Bronx Tale the way the sh.its been going for meLast edited by R_Walken; 03-05-2020, 08:15 PM.Comment

If Canelo never fought GGG then his career would’ve been at a standstill until he did. And he wouldn’t have been as successful as he is now.
The boxing fans, pundits, and public were already bamboozled and swindled by Mayweather and they’ll never forget it, nor forgive.Comment
