Why did GGG give up so much ground against Canelo in the rematch?

[4truth]

When a guy finally steps up his competition level, he is old and shot.

The moment he goes back to his normal level of opponent, he's a beast again.

More like his competition refused to step up till there were a lot of miles on the odometer.

If that's how you saw it. GGG could have moved up/down at any point once he saw how soft his ''competition'' was.

Might as well fight BIGGER/smaller bums, no ?

Fans of these old MFers should petition they retire. They are obviously too old to compete.

At least that's the excuse they use

[BodyBagz]

GGG spent too much time in the minor leagues
Made it to the pros and spent too much time fighting D level guys

Now he's all old and sheet

Look Golovkin has his own path he doesn't need to copycat Canelo.

His path was to follow Hopkins and that silly string of bums.

Good choice

Hopkins didn't fight all bums. Like most fighters there was a mixed bag he faced.

GGG is a walking excuse.

Huh what does that have to do with you crapping all over Hopkins??

GGG was on a mission to beat Hopkins record by fighting a string of bums.

Look, you want to make excuses for whatever reason. Fine. Most fans have excuses at the ready when their guys legacy is questioned.

Late to the party, chances are you don't get in.
