    Why is GGG immune to criticism because of his age?

    If you mention Canelo vs Kovalev, how does GGG even get brought up? That's a worse tangent than saying Joshua is significantly bigger than the old Klitchko whom went through wars... cause Canelo was never bigger than Kovalev.

    oh yeah I forgot...''Kovalev took a dive''

    Canelo never gets credit when historically fighters have debunked such theories. Lalonde and Chad Dawson (Lineal 175) went to 168, Ward nor SRL didn't go 175.

    All these scenarios have to be brought up because GGG diehards hate that Steve Rolls pieced up GGG a couple of times which even that has nothing to do with Canelo nor what we are talking about! twilight zone mayne!

    He isn’t, if Martinez could be dogged back when he was looking for a big payday rather entertain the thought of fighting GGG, then GGG should be dogged for the same thing now.

        To "take a dive" means to intentionally lose the fight, sometimes in a certain round. It's a fight that's "fixed".
        Most fans don't think Kovalev "took a dive', but they do thing he was an aging fighter, who had looked vulnerable in recent fights and was arguably the weakest champ 175. Alvarez gets criticized because the diva is known as a fighter who goes after a weak and vulnerable champ and than exits the division.
        The diva did it with Smith, Cotto, Fielding and Kovalev.
        I don't know what you mean about Golovkin being immune to criticism due to age, he wanted to fight Alvarez a year ago but the diva refused to fight.

          That doesn't make any sense. Then what would've been the point of any LHW unifying with Kovalev? If Bivol wanted Kovalev instead of Beterbiev, is that ''cherrypicking?'' If Beterviev or Gvozdyk wanted Kovalev instead Bivol or all the combinations at 175, was any 175 Champ unifying with Kovalev a cherrypick?

          So how does a smaller man in a lower division pick the ''weakest at LHW?''

              Kovalev was 4-3 and had been stopped in 2 of those fights. He was coming off a short camp and had gone life and death in his last fight and almost been KO'd. Kovalev was a shot fighter and a guy who was ready to be taken. If you can't see that, what can I say? It's all opinion and I don't argue opinions.

                You deny facts, and you dodged the point. What would've been the point for Bivol, Gvozdyk or Beterbiev to fight Kovalev? The answer is unification and boxing?!

                You're just trying to discredit Canelo while fumbling on your own agenda.

                LMAO. You proved my point on the deflection as well, Canelo own GGG diehards. The debate is about criticism for GGG. Are LHW debates a remedy to sway away from GGG debates?

                  If course he's not immune to critisism. The daily posts disparaging Golovkin by the lunatic fringe on this forum price that. I don't know what theses guys are going to do I once he retires. Possibly they will organize an annual meeting sitting around a campfire jerking each other off.

                    Yeah Lalonde went to 168 and got knocked out. He did it for the big money same as Kovalev. Dawson moved down and got beat by Ward. Fighters moving down in weight below their normal fighting weight is a big disadvantage. Roy Jones moved back down in weight and that was a disaster.
