    Saturday I saw an elite fighter who won (got robbed) closely against the PPV King.
    I think his performance was pretty good, I saw good defence and good footwork from him.
    His power might not be the same as it was 3-4 years ago but the skills and the stamina is still there.

    I don’t know I don’t want to see him lose to lesser fighters because he’s past it

    Realistically, not many. He's pretty clearly past his prime.

    His career got destroyed just like Kovs. Its really too bad. I really hope karma comes back on Canelo and Golden boy hard.

    I don’t think he should fight again.

    He’s just going to lose to opponents he would’ve beaten before.

    He retires . He wont want to keep fighting and know that he won twice against the biggest fraud in boxing.

    It's over, Sugar Ray Robinson couldn't regain the middleweight title at 37 and neither can GGG. His next fight he could lose to a B fighter.I mean you all saw it, he looked slow and pushed his punches a lot. I don't know if he won the fight against Canelo but I do know this,,,he took the most punishment.

    It's difficult to say. He may have more left in the tank than many are suggesting. He's also at the point where he still has at least one potential lucrative payday that can conceivably come together, and at this point, I think the risk-reward factor concerning earnings is of the utmost importance for someone in GGG's shoes.

    I think if he feels healthy then he should continue to fight on. He is not the same fighter he was 3 years ago but he just fought neck and neck with a prime Canelo. He is a top 2 middleweight at the moment.

    He dug down deep and took control of the 2nd half of the fight, it says a lot about what he has left in the tank.

    Faded GGG still beats Charlo, Deveryanchenko, Lemieux, Murata, Andrade...

    55/45 in favor of Sounders.

    i believe ggg can win the title again i just hope everyone remembers he never truly lost and only a robbery could beat him.

    As stupid as it sounds I think he should call Ward out at SMW.

    1-2 more years, he's past prime already, has been for the past three years. But he's got 1 or 2 years of not too far past prime years left, after that, he'll probably be shot.
