    GGG seems like a smart guy. He's worth $30 Milliom, isn't slurring.
    He should retire the day he turns 40 and have a happy healthy retirement.

    Here are some things to consider or at the least interesting stats. Golovkin has the least amount of years fighting pro, and by far the least amount of rounds fought.

    GGG:
    42 fights
    212 rounds fought
    13 year pro
    37 years old

    Canelo:
    56 fights
    402 rounds fought
    14 year pro
    29 years old

    Pacquiao:
    71 fights
    486 rounds fought
    24 year pro
    41 years old

    Juan Manuel Marquez:
    64 fights
    486 rounds fought
    21 year pro
    41 years old at retirement

    Mayweather:
    50 fights
    397 rounds fought
    21 year pro
    40 years old at retirement

    It’s because he can punch.

    Ok.

    But once he steps up in level of opposition he magically loses all that power.

    Facing low level opposition and KO soon has allowed him to escape from boxing with very little wear and tear.. Of course the two Canelo fights and the Dchenko fights took a lot from the old guy. After the Canelo fights he has not been the same.

    And in age, but my point still stands.

    It’s true what I say though, even as people like you claim he fought nothing but bums he still blew said “bums” out double quick time.

    I mean you’d never see people like Alexander Brand, Liam Smith, Matthew Hatton going rounds with GGG.

    Yes Odanis, we know that Tripo Gee has power. No one is arguing against that, we know he can KO bums, has beens, and shot fighters easily, because that is his style. We know that son.

    As a result of GGG starting his pro career at 24, having fought only a little over 200 rounds, when you compare him to other fighters who have been doing pro for almost twice as long with double the rounds, you can assume, speculate, guess that it is likely he will be fresh enough to fight pro into his early 40's.

    You assume that as a guy who doesn’t know boxing.

    Different boxers burn quicker/slower, lifestyles, health, styles etc.

    You should stop trying to be smart it doesn’t suit you.

    Great response, obviously proving I’m correct.

    You should try another forum kid.

    The more Isal tries to sound smart the more obvious he really isn't.

    It’s cringeworthy that he passes as a grown up.

    You add NOTHING that we already don't know. Yes, we know some fighters burn quicker than others, if you want to tell me why, then we could have a discussion, obviously sometimes its genetics, sometimes its lifestyle, sometimes its wars in the ring, sometimes is mileage.

    Yet you are the one quoting rounds and fights as a comparison and then calling me for stating the obvious.

    Mike Tyson is concrete evidence on how daft your initial provocative post is.

    Again you are really easy to see through.
