    Nobody gets a draw in Vegas against Canelo unless they are a clear winner, you know that !

    Canelo fought a good fight. I give him full credit. But he’s still 0 and 2 against a 36 year old. Golovkin fought a great fight too. He did everything his critics have been asking him to. He fought off the back foot. He moved defensively. He was accurate. He was throwing an uppercut. He threw more. Landed more. He just got robbed. And that’s my answer.

    the question isnt whether he was post prime, he is, its why he left it till post prime to fight an elite and age 33 to win his first title in the ring.

    I do believe Golovkin has now officially entered his post prime but he still beats nearly
    everyone at MW except a few guys I've mentioned previously. But the same guys I
    think beat Golovkin I think would beat Canelo as well (although not necessarily on the cards)

    Canelo fought a great, balls to the wall fight against a supposed boogeyman, but
    he should've lost, twice.

    As one of Golovkin's biggest detractors on this site, I am now in the position to
    attempt to defend him which I hate doing. Golovkin won both fights, mainly off
    the strength of his jab alone. While people laud the fact that Canelo defended and
    fought off the backfoot excellently in the first fight, then moved forward effectively in the second,
    people conveniently forget that Golovkin was the yang to that yin. Golovkin pressed forward
    with the jab and fought well going forward in the first fight then "surprisingly" fought well
    on the backfoot in second (while still maintaining a superior jab).

    Nobody. These guys are full of delusion and I don't understand it. Unless you loss real money on this fight why harp over it. Golovkin sold out and everything else is dramatics. He never really gave a damn about "all the belts", the minute Canelo agreed to fight him the entire promotion bent over for that payday.
    Just like Canelo did for Mayweather, Golovkin was down for whatever like a thot. He is certainly not going to send these dudes any money. They gave away 1600 tickets and I don't see anyone on here saying they got one.

    Age is not "just a number". By 37 your body will not be in your prime physically, that's just a basic biological fact.
