From a British point of view there's froch, calzaghe and lennon Lewis. All were pretty decent at that age. Both klitschko brothers were strong too.

Wlad was a cheater, that's the only way he managed to win at an old age. Fouling all the time. He got beaten by Fury who many woudln't even consider a top3 HW before that fight.
Archie Moore is a good example.

the simple answer is nobody

All I can think of is Mayweather. Sergio Martinez maybe? but probably was not prime anymore after turning 37. He was 35 when he beat Pavlik and Williams.
Many ATG had more losses than victories after turning 34/35.
Which means that if Golovkin is beaten in the next years a few times doesn't mean he wasn't an ATG. Just means he was old. Look at every ATG's resume and show me how many were still beating everyone after turning 35.
Closest I can think of is Bernard Hopkins, tbh

GGG just fighting bums right now in order to beat Hopkins middleweight record. He's just chasing history right now regardless of the calibre of opponents. After he beats the record is when he will move up.
