Can Golovkin Still Be Great past 40 like Bhop, Big George, Holyfield?

    No. You're comparing him to heavyweights. Find me MWs who had a successful career past 40. Best you can hope for is him being moderately successful like RJJ after moving onto higher weights. His counter punching reflexes will go first, and with it he'll take more damage, which will reduce his punch resistance. If he's still fighting after ~42 he may develop 'glass chin' reputation like RJJ did.

      That's exactly what I was thinking. He's a very good fighter but great is reserved for a select few and he doesn't make the cut. Not a slight but the hyperbole has to stop.
