    Golovkin spent 6 years as a beltholder and only faced two men in the top 5 of his division, a division that was very weak and shallow. Plus many of his defenses were against unranked opponents. There is a big difference there, so not the greatest example but yes, to a degree.

    Just shows that he wasn’t putting the work in before,Eubank and Lee had the same pattern with him winning first half and then he’d gas.
    Now he’s with Ingle on some special Milkshakes he looks like he’d go fifteen rounds lol.

    Haha

    Hey, there is truth to your first point. And in that, ten years from now we will find out or debate yet again which side of the argument was more correct than the other.

    Danny Jacobs was #2 when they fought. Canelo was the ring champion whether we like it or not. Counts.

    A few others were top 10 when they fought. If he wasn't the recognized MW World champion, nothing wrong with fighting top ten opponents.

    Can’t see a big difference only that Crawford did it in quick time and moved on but his opponents were relative to what GGG faced,Indongo was an unknown
    yep was gonna mention the name of but didn’t wanna look a nob by mispronouncing it,think it’s called Winco bank or something?
    Other than Canelo,Kell Brook a big guy was cutting sheds loads of weight on par with what Canelo was doing and in his last fight v Spence he looked totally shredded.
    We’ve all just gotten used to see it but being shredded like that is a PED thing,Chael Sonnen said he could tell who was using and what just on how they looked lol.
    Not telling me that Saunders would turn down all that secret “training methods”on offer at Winco as he’s gone from someone who gassed after six rounds every time to someone who looked totally fresh at the start of round twelve lol.

    And that's why I said the first 6 years of his being a titlist. That time frame I stated ends before he fought Jacobs. And if I'm off by 2 months, then my bad for not establishing that better.

    I think it’s more a case of him enjoying it now,his laziness like his pal Tyson Furey wound me up something chronic.
    I thought he were gonna end up like Tyson Furey actually,if he had the work ethic of Floyd he’d be very hard to beat and for all those Floyd haters dissing his record I say that to go 49 fights regardless of opponents just one off night against Caleb Truax undoes everything.

    Having the talent like Saunders and Floyd Mayweather is one thing but it’s no good if they don’t put the hard yards in beforehand.

    Yeah we talking Geale,Rubio,Murray,Lemieux,Macklin,Rosado ect,no wonder he started to lose his love of the sport.
    Remember that fight against Wade?he was so visibly p****d off with that fight he just carried him for a round,let him punch him a few times,then knocked him out with a punch that appeared to hit his shoulder lol.

    DJ did much better than anyone expected thats why 10 - 20 % of the fans got it wrong... The fighters and trainers must have an agenda. Everyone around the MW division (fighters and trainers) benefits from making GGG look less like Superman!
