Hopkins fought into his 40s, but he relies on dirty tactics, holding, boxing IQ, the ability to nullify opponents. GGG fights nothing like this, and therefore as his athleticism slides, so will he ability against younger opponents. There is a good reason Canelo has waited this long and taken it to 168. Prime GGG would brutalise every version of Canelo. We saw him do it past prime.
I will fight tooth and nail every Canelo fan claiming he beat Golovkin or came close the first time around. A hill to die on.
He is physically fit but from what I saw in his last fight it looks to me he's well past it. Even his power didn't seem to be what he once had. I really do not want to see him fight canelo again, he will get seriously injured.
The mind is willing, but is the body willing? He could be in shape, but only the reaction speed and timing matters. I've seen a lot of 40 year old fighters in shape, but their body can't performance like they used to. I expect him to beat Murata, but I wonder how much he has left.
Yes. If boxing fans want to bang on and on about “drug cheats” then they better switch off completely. These clowns still believe in Santa.
