    GGG should do what Ward and Canelo couldn't, Conquer the LHW division without any asterisk. If he beats Beterbiev he will go down as the greatest middleweight of all time

    Do you not like GGG?
    Dude could get seriously hurt
    If he didn’t move up earlier in his career when he was much more active what makes you think he would now in his ripe old age?

    Exactly. If Deverenchenko could inflict some pain and damage on a younger G, then Beterbiev would leave G in the corner holding his ribs red faced looking at his corner in pain, shaking his head, no.

    Beterbiev may be aging but Golovkin is old. Golovkin looked old against Murata and was positively, impotently ancient in Canelo 3 until Canelo pooped out and GGG was finally able to do something useful.

    Beterbiev stops Golovkin within eight rounds, probably much earlier.

    This is an excellent curiosity fight.

    Ha, ha, ha, good one. The only thing GGG can conquer is a retirement home, maybe. He ain't moving up now, not in his nature. He'd rather reminisce about the good all days when he ko'd heavyweights in his sparring.

    What do you mean: "Beterbiev is getting old"?
    Golovkin is 3 years older than Beterbiev.
    Beterbiev wins this fight by knockout, as well as all fights so far.
    This is either a joke or a mistake.

    Beterbiev still has heart for the game and is significantly bigger and stronger than GGG and would probably punch a hole through him.

    Its time to GGG having fun spending time with his family and have fun spending all money he earn.
    Its not time to 41 years old dude fighting bigger puncher from lightheavyweight...

    Agree 10/10. This is like the Pac-istanis insisting on JMM vs Pac 5 back in the day.

    If Golovkin was able to win in the trilogy fight then maybe this fight would be feasible, but no, nope forgetaboutit.
