Comments Thread For: Teddy Atlas: Golovkin Is Shot Fighter; Canelo-GGG Trilogy Too Late

[Boxing Goat]

They can get better but they also slow down which offsets it.

Oh I agree that skills can evolve later in a boxers career but reflexes don't just get better with age. There's no dis*****g that.

[emceetns]

I recall Bumlovkin saying 154-168 was no problem - so what's with the 166lb catchweight? He also wanted a 164lb catchweight for the Ward fight.

I smell a duck..

This is not an attempt to change your mind as it's clear that you don't like GGG, and that's fine

Golovkin never should have made the 154-168 statement because now we have to hear his critics repeat it for the next 154-168 years lol.

What Golovkin should have said was that he would be willing to drop down to 154 for Mayweather or Pacquiao and/or move up for a super-fight. He obviously wasn't willing to fight every and anybody in those weight classes so fine, I will give you that.

Ward was pretty much inactive from 2012-2015 and after that he went to 175. Froch would have been a good fight but Froch said he couldn't get down to 166.

Could Golovkin have fought those guys at 168? Sure, just like Manny Pacquiao could have fought Miguel Cotto at 147 instead of 145. Just like Floyd Mayweather Jr. could have fought Canelo at 154 instead of 152.

Juan Manuel Marquez had an opportunity to face Miguel Cotto at 150 but he didn't want to go any higher than 147. It happens.

Thatd pretty much ATG him for me.

Canelo lost 1st fight, and beat GGG at his own game in 2nd fight, many times when a fighter feels he loses they always go about changing trainers

[Lance98]

I am not even interested or care about the canelo/ggg 3. GGG is done and has been on a decline since 2016. He is not getting better, he don't take shots well to the body, and he is getting slower(even slower than his already slow self, taking more shots). He is a brutal KO waiting to happen, and is there for the taking. Canelo really have nothing to prove even if he wins by KO. The fight is no longer compelling. It would have been more compelling had they fought in 2015 instead of 2017.

[lion33lit]

.....but he wants to shoot his last shot against Canelo. So let him.

Can’t argue with that. GGG pretty much deserves that last shot, but I think he’s depleted enough now to make Canelo look much better than Canelo actually is. GGG “deserves” that paycheck too....so why not.

[MASTER OF you]

he's active at 29. lol. ideally youre supposed to assume after he's 35 years of age..

why was clenelo fighting a washed up has been when he could have been fighting better younger fighters who were also champions and undefeated like beterbiev and bivol? LOL clenelo gets no credit for beating a washed up kovalev. the public saw that fight for what it was! A farce!

[Squ□redCircle34]

Don’t like Atlas even if he’s entertaining but I agree with him!

Canelo ices Golovkin like Wayne Gretzky!

And to think we always have to here about Fielding?? Who was three months after going 12 with GGG. I mean almost same Kovalov got to fight Canelo
