Even the Fat retired Golovkin makes this stank, bloated alcoholic version of charlo quit on his bar stool.
Even though i thought that the trilogy fight was closer than most do, i think GGG had a serious shot at hurting or dropping Canelo at some point in the last four rounds. Canelo looked spent and there for the taking for someone like GGG at 168lbs, who to me seemed bigger and stronger than Canelo. GGG held back and was playing it safe for too long, and was never fazed by Canelo's shots.
Charlo showed up very late on the middleweight scene in GGG'S career. Charlo showed up in the Canelo years 2017 and past. You can possibly blame GGG for not being interested when he was 37 or older, but at that time GGG had already tied Hopkins record of defenses at 20, and semi retired. At that point it would have been a real tough one, since GGG had already started to slip, and or switched trainers from mexican style Abel Sanchez, to the much more mellow johnathon Banks.
Except for those times that he beat Canelo and copped judges that were on the take. He literally beat everyone else. Almost always in brutal fashion.
GGG would beat the soul of Jermallo's body and stop him. You have to be high on meth or off your mind with mind sickness to think otherwise. Jermallo is easy to hit and he's only stopped one of his last six opponents at 160 or above and the lone fighter he stopped is a 154lb pounder leprechaun You think Montiel, Brandon Adams, and Jesse Benavidez would last the distance against GGG? Dev lasted the distance against GGG but that was an old well past prime GGG and a prime Dev. Jermallo fought a Dev who had been in three back to back wars for the ages against Jacobs, GGG and Culcay all of which he took a ton of punishment and was badly hurt or dropped in all of them This is the kind of brain abuse he took against GGG This content is protected A past prime extremely inactive late notice Korobov who hadn't fought anyone with a pulse in four years and was training to fight a E level in an 8 rounder on the undercard was robbed blind against Jermallo. I've loved Korobov since the amateurs and even though he actually beat GGG in the amateurs he ain't beating a prime GGG in the pros and GGG ain't going life and death against the likes of Montiel either. Jermallo is a good fighter but GGG is on a different level.
The way GGG gets trashed by idiots in here is an embarrassment. The guy is a generational talent and a legend. The same clowns blow smoke up Canelo's arse, a guy who now fights circus midgets and is backed by corrupt officials.
I fault him for avoiding other belt holders in his division waiting for another Canelo fight. He could have become undisputed at 160 in that same time.span.
Even with my dislike of Golovkin, I feel I'm very objective and think Golovkin won that trilogy 2-1 and Canelo's 3rd fight success was only due Golovkin's decline. I think fight 3 Golovkin may have played it safe, I don't think he even believed he had the ability to do what he did in the first two fights.
You know I actually think you're right. With all the BS that Canelo put him through we may have had another 2-3 GGG fights instead of him hanging around like a rag on the washline.
So your talking about 2019 and later right, because he was tied up with Canelo and Jacobs in 2017-18. I would have liked to see him take on Charlo and Andrade during that time as well, in an ideal world to add more to his legacy, but in truth he did beat Jacobs, Canelo twice, and edged the tough as nails Derevyanchenko. He had also torn through the middleweight division defeating 12 ring magazine top 10 contenders with 10 by ko. A couple more elite names couldn't hurt though. If you count the two Canelo fights thats 14 Ring mag top 10 wins. I get what your saying though, those fights would have been intriguing. He should have just stayed with Abel, so he didnt have to spend time playing it safe while adjusting to a slightly different style.
Well as a spectator reading all the dirt and back and forth between the 2, I thought if he unified 160 while Canelo was doing the same at 168 the fight would have been much bigger and happened alot sooner. And also it would have done wonders for his legacy becoming undisputed after losing to Canelo, because honestly all he has to hang his hat on is 2 close fights with a great fighter who, unfortunately isn't thought very highly of by GGG'S own fanbase in a weird self punishing way. Being undisputed would've rated much higher. But that's just my 2 cents.
