    Once you pass 35 at middleweight it's all down hill. Sugar Ray Robinson couldn't regain the title at 37

    He's already past his prime since 2016 but he would be competitive for 2 or 3 more years

    GGG mileage comes from the amateurs. 360 fights is no joke.
    He’s 36 in April, not a young age for a boxer. Don’t forget he took punches in his fights trying to stop opponents and not simply outpoint them. Finally, not all boxers age the same but MOST decline after 35

    GGG is washed. He is going o take his L in May and rematch in September. Oscar already told ya'll the plan for 2018. He was never going to fight BJS.

    How is he washed up? What have you seen? Did he get totally demolished like a washed up fighter usually gets facing a top caliber opponent?

    I say 4 or 5....If he stays at 160? He’s probably going to fade and not be as dominant in the next few years but I honestly believe he will still be a top level fighter into his early 40s

    He is letting Oscar De La Hoya determine his career and not his promoter and team. He is washed and he did it for the money. GGG went from being an active, 3 fight a year boxer to sitting out for months straight waiting for his king Canelo to tell him when to train. At his age just sitting around is becoming washed, which he will demonstrate more of May 5th.

    If he beats Canelo and BJS he has to fight Groves/Smith surely?
