    Golovkin would be a very valuable scalp on their resumes , so they are waiting a few fights to see him fading otherwise they would've fought him already. That's the true!

    Why is Floydweather Jr in that list?
    He's even older as Golovkin, and inactive due to retirement.

    Floyd fought a much younger Canelo and drained him a few lbs. Also Floyd is very smart with his body and his style of fighting (he has less wear and tear). He ain't gonna be that faded, he's like Hopkins.

    GGG also looks after himself.

    Sure Floyd has taken less damage but his game relied on his lightning-quick reflexes, which are bound to deteriorate with age.

    I really don't think waiting would help Floyd at all.

    Undoubtedly they're waiting until he's past prime. Watch the IFLTV video where Saunders says he wont get in the ring with Golovkin until he's past prime-to-shot.

    That's right 40 year old retired floyd is waiting for for ggg to get old, Strong logic, do you realise that while floyd would be waiting for ggg to get old hes going to get even older him self? how is that going to work in his favor, makes no sense what so ever

    Yeah, all people with a brain know that an old shot GGG is a very valuable trophy.

    As I said, in certain fighters's case it's not about their biological age, it's more about how smart they are conserving their bodies by not take punishments/damage, live clean, stay in shape all the time and of course their styles of fighting - FMJ was a defensive-minded fighter and not a brawler ! Rigo, Lara, Floyd, Ward and Hopkins are these kind of exemples. Floyd would look good in the ring even at 45-46 y/o vs young fighters.

    Ring age is different to actual age. Ring age is what matters in boxing.

    Yup, ring age and biological age are 2 different things.

    I agree with that, but the fact that Floyd hasn't taken much damage is still overshadowed by his long inactivity and the decline of his reflexes.

    If you compare the young Floyd @130 to the Floyd of the last few years, you can clearly see that his reflexes have begun to slow down.

    And Floyd relies on those reflexes. Without them he'll be a sitting duck for even a 40 yr old Golovkin.

    Floyd relies on the negativity of his style and his brain. Also fighting in his hometown it's a very big advantage for him.
