    Some reports of Golovkin thinking of retirement and he is 35 after all. At the same time, the big money is beginning to come his way. The way I see it, if Golovkin is serious about retiring after this fight he will choose to risk his defense to go for a convincing ko of Canelo that will warrant no demand for rematch. On the other hand, if he is not thinking about retirement or calculating lucrative rematch(s) with Canelo, he will chose to preserve himself by controlling the fight by jabbing. I believe should he beat Canelo, the growth of his popularity will no longer be bound by him needing to ko every fighter he meets. I think the money will be too good for him to retire after this match. So expect him to box as whether the judges award him the victory or get robbed, this is the best approach when balancing boxing and business.

    thats good in theory but in practice the chances of golvkin getting a fair shake on the cards are less than 1%

    Well it's more than 1% right? Anyway the theory covers if Golovkin dominates Canelo in a boxing match with rounds typical of Golovkin Lemieux, he will not lose but gain as an attraction. Rematch is likely under that scenario.

    the only way I see him possibily retiring is if he were to lose by KO I know he wants that 4th middleweight belt. so if he beats canelo. I think he will atleast fight once more.

    Why not keep fighting hell there's no one right now that can beat him, except maybe Charlo twin butt the word is still out on him still, GGG won't fight him anyway, he should but he is getting to old. He will fight against ok fighters and make a couple of million and retire and Conelo fights Charlo twin.
