    GGG past his prime beat prime Canelo and got robbed, so logically he should have the credentials to be competitive in these bouts if not win

    GGG fans are a joke, if GGG was not in his prime in Canelo 1-2 then WHEN the **** was his prime?

    Also he still lost 3-0, GGG in reality got gifted a draw the first time around

    Prime Adonis is two weight classes above GGG.

    If he fought Monzon, I see it as a 50-50.

    Buddy, did you see any of the fights or do you only talk about the final result of each one?
    I was never a fan of either of them, but I definitely respect GGG's career much more than Canelo's.

    Your question doesn't make sense

    Stevenson has a lot of mass on Golovkin, I would pick him to give GGG the harder fight.

    Monzon has a Wlad-Klitschkoesque fight style, which would be very very interesting to see pitched against Golovkin. It would be a battle of the jabs and of footwork. Monzon's big dimensions would certainly help, but GGG has always found a way to keep fights at his favourite distance. A chessmatch of a fight, probably 50-50.

    ... when all the other fighters were hiding behind dumpsters and up trees to avoid fighting him?

    Prime Stevenson would have punched GGG and Monzon out of the ring

    Ggg made a promise to be willing to fight everyone from 154 to 165, still waiting for him to fulfill that :confused::tiburon:

    If you run to the back of your short bus, you will find the files under the last seat. Remember to chew the gum stuck under the seat, it will send much-needed vitamins to your brain.

    Well, Golovkin was 35 and 36 for the first two Canelo fights, so I think it’s pretty fair to say that he wasn’t in his prime by then because literally no boxer ever is at their athletic prime when they’re in their mid-30s. Pretty much every unbiased score I have seen for the first fight had it for Golovkin and I think he nicked the second fight too, but clearly you aren’t a very big fan of Gennadiy or even all that familiar with him.

    His prime years were pretty much spent in the amateur ranks and in Germany at the start of his pro career trying to land a fight with Sturm, who ducked him like the plague. He should have been an Olympic gold medalist but amateur scoring quite often produces bad results. His best display in his prime at world level is probably his demolition job on Nobuhiro Ishida.

    How about actually adressing GGG's lies duck instead of throwing meaningless insults
