Notice fighters getting brave now that Golovkin is 35 and showing slippage?

I agree about Saunders. He ducked Golovkin and didn't want the fight until after he fought Jacobs. But I don't think it's fair to say that Golovkin is "slipping ". I think Jacobs fight showed that he could struggle against taller and bigger fighters.
As for Cotto, Roach simply said that he thinks Cotto could beat him. I don't think there are any rumors about Cotto wanting the fight. Cotto would get demolished anyway as he's too small for 160.

But...just indulge me for a second.
Saunders - is on video admitting he was waiting for Golovkin to get old (it's the one where he calls GGG a p*ssy). He doesn't even try to lie about it.
In 2017 - Golovkin hits 35 and comes off 2 fights not at his best - BJS he starts calling him out.
Canelo - drops his WBC belt to avoid the fight.
In 2017 - Golovkin hits 35 and comes off 2 fights not at his best - Canelo finally seems ready to actually make the fight.
Cotto - wouldn't go anywhere near Golovkin, famously "ahhhhhh"ing when asked about fighting Golovkin, only then to correct himself and say "why not" when realising how bad it looked.
2017 - Golovkin hits 35 and comes off 2 fights not at his best - Rumours start about Cotto being open to the fight.
Jacobs - asked for 18 months and life-changing money to make a Golovkin fight, until finally mandated to. Gets his money and takes the fight because he basically cannot not take the fight, he would be ruined.
2017 - Golovkin hits 35 and comes off 2 fights not at his best - Danny is all over a re-match
Charlo - still boiling down to 154 and Golovkin isn't even on his radar.
2017 - Golovkin hits 35 and comes off 2 fights not at his best - Charlo is going to knock Golokin the fock out

at that time floyd was not the most popular fighter on the planet. once he had beaten oscar de la hoya he was low risk, high reward. golovkin was the opposite. i understand that you won't acknowledge or undersadnt aht, but i do not care.
floyd also grew out of 135 and 140. i know you refuse to believe that, but it's also the truth. well documented IRS issues during the marquez fight, and he still couldn't make the weight.

Who knows how to even pinpoint Golovkin's slippage, the man hasn't been in that many fights and I mean actual fights, guys that can offer him something.

In about 20 years I can beat him too.
