    Once GGG decides to hang up the gloves do you see him remaining undefeated?
    I feel that no matter how many people try to deny it, GGG is legitimately the best MW of this era and even with his age I still see him beating everyone in his division. Call what you like about that 'draw', he still didn't lose even though it should have been a win.
    I think he'll finish his career unbeaten, with the draw his only blemish.

    I agree. It's gonna only take robberies to defeat Golovkin.

    most people don't. Takes a lot of constructing of records to do that.

    It's really hard to say because if the money is still there for him .. He can always go the Pac Man route... GGG is a one tough customer

    I'll still stand by what said. I think GGG will show who the better fighter is this coming Saturday. He has what it takes to remain unbeaten for the remainder of his career. He'd be this era's Rocky Marciano / Finito Lopez if he does indeed retire without a loss.

    That draw is such an unsightly thing on his record, though. Like Clenelo's fat mom in the audience.

    I can see him retiring undefeated but I have a niggling suspicion that we may see him hit the canvas for the first time before he does.

    I think he takes his first loss this Saturday. This could be like Ward Kovalev 2. Close and controversial fight the first time around and not so much the second time. Rematches seem to favor the more technical fighter. I think GGG has to get one good solid shot in to make it a fight. He got countered far to often in the first fight. Not hating just how I see it.

    No. Each fight going forward will see ggg easier and easier to deal with.

    I think it is extremely important in his mind to retire undefeated. Yes, it is about the money and he wants his piece of the action but more than most fighters I think he cares as much about his record as the money. He may stick around too long to collect a few more big paydays but that is the only way I see him getting an L on his record.

    depends on how long he will go on. He will be 37 next year. I think he won't retiring undefeated
