I am amazed out how Golovkin can be such a force at 36 years old

    It would have been more impressive if he had refrained from hitting the opponent when the opponent was legally down.

    Father time does not inform before arriving. Enjoy it while it lasts.

    All absolutely true. Some of us age differently. (Something to do with genetics. Your 35 might be my 30)
    In Golovkins case i believe he will last for a while more because of his defense. Like i said, he has barely taken any real punishment.
    And the moment he looses, people will ask him to retire. But i think he will go on and continue winning.

    @OvidsExile Duran had superb defense. And was not very agressive in his later years, mostly because his legs were gonand he was above his best weight.Hence why he needed a slugger like Barkley to look that great in his later years.
    Hopkins was also a pretty rough, agressive and combative boxer until the Trinidad fight, at which pointe started playing it safe.

    Golovkin is showing good longevity for sure but his last oponent was not very goodand his performance against Camelot was more impressive. But he really just started facing top shelf opposition with Jacobs. Brook and Lemieux were capable but not real top level middleweights.

    I would like to see GGG rematch Jacobs and Canelo and fight BJS if possible before he retires

    Archie is on his own though, a legit clean mofo...Your nuts if you think Hopkins is clean. The fella would do what ever it takes to win whether its play dirty or peds

    The agenda on this forum by the Floyd/JMM/Canelo fan bois never ceases to amaze me.

    Floyd was shot, Pac was prime, and the IV use was legit.

    :risas3:

    JMM was shot, Pac was prime, and JMM wasn't on the juice.

    :risas3:

    Canelo was caught doping, pulled out of the fight, yet Golovkin is scared and ducking.

    :risas3:

    You can't make this stuff up.

    Yeah. Who does he think he is, holding all those belts beating the challengers willing to force his hand and passing all those drugs tests.
