    All the flack aside, havn't we all forgotten the guy is friggin going on 34 ?

    Can anyone recall a better 34 year old fighter that so effortlessly kayos the best in his division with so little damage taken ?

    He's about to equal the record of consecutive KO s in title fights.

    Of course, Hopkins comes to mind, but the guy was a bore even in his prime and could never produce a high KO ratio.

    The only comparison i can think of is Archie Moore.

    I don't think you actually remember prime Hopkins. Because the prime Hopkins during the mid 90s to early 2000's was KO'ing people.

    Actually, there is a LONG list of guys in their early 30s who put the Triple Duck to SHAME...

    I never said he didn't.

    What i'm talking here is champions scaring their adversaries even before stepping into the ring. Then destroying them ala Tyson in a few rds.

    40-1 favorites kind of champions.

    Popkins never qualified for that.

    The guy looks young for his age. Is it possible they messed up his birthdate? He also seems quite sturdy and not prone to injury. Must be good genetics I guess. I have a feeling he will fight until he is 40 years old.

    Be prepared to go into hiding after GGG becomes the first to stop Canelo in the fall this year.

    Asians look young, some look like college guys until their 40s.

    and girls too wtf? cannot believe that when other women look like pizzabags, Kelly hu (Arrow, aged 48) and Ming Na (Agents of Shield, aged 53) look so awesome. I want one!

    doesn't mean they actually are young on the inside though. they still turn 40 when they are 40!

    They don't call him Gennada "B-Level" Golovkin for nothing. He's the greatest B-level MW champion that has ever lived.
