    Golovkin against several scrubs he's padded his record with.

    Wtf are you talking about? Did you even read the OP?
    :lol: I know this from 2017 but for ****s sake.

    The only guy over 35 who Golovkin fought was Ishida at 37. Everyone else was under 35.
    I am no Golovkin fan but this **** is just ridiculous.

    The title says DUE to "mismatch, AND old age".

    GGG had a bunch of mismatches against very unworthy opposition.

    Wlad-AJ

    Wlad was clearly shot against Jennings and Fury and now, 3 years later, was like a helpless bunny rabbit against the thoroughly mediocre AJ. The doctors should never have allowed the fight.

    I can’t believe it took till page 3 for someone to mentions these. This is what I thought was the most immediately obvious.
    Ali-Holmes was a travesty. Ali-Berbick was a crime.

    Jeff Horn not only fighting 43 year old Mundine but making him boil down in weight and agree to a re hydration clause was truely sickening.

    A 5'5" fighter versus a 5'10" fighter who was also a class above him in technique and athleticism. Foregone conclusion: RTD7.
