    didn't Hopkins win his first title at age 30? GGG has more than enough time to chase Hopkin's MW legacy

    Not no but hell no. Hopkins' resume is light years beyond what GGG can achieve. Unless GGG beats guys like Ward and Kovalev at 175 he won't even get close. He's already 34 and his resume is horrible. GGG won't have the longevity of a Hopkins his style won't allow him to.:deal

    Well, he has that haircut to try and hide his ridiculously high temples.

    Wow that touched a nerve didn't it.. I was actually saying it in a jesting way & you have just got all over excited! I couldn't give a **** if Golovkin doesn't have the career Hopkins has.. He'll still be a great MW regardless! This is a great fight..

    At least get his age correct... Why do you lot constantly lie & exaggerate everything to do with Golovkin! You also have short & selective memories because if mine serves me correctly Hopkins hadn't done anything spectacular by his early 30's.. LOL His style! He is as fresh as a daisy & has never been dropped! He literally has no ring wear! So i wouldn't be so sure if I were you...

    Wow 33 instead of 34 that's not a big deal. GGG gets hit alot he will end up having a shorter career than Hopkins' I would bet anything on that. GGG is a good fighter and is getting ducked by guys at 160 I have always admitted that. I just want to see him fight someone of note. The Froch fight would have given us that but Froch decided to retire.

    But you're all so odd.. When he was 32 he was 33. Now he's 33 he's 34.. It's as if you are willing him to age!

    Gets hit alot? :rofl

    You saw him take a few punches in Monroe fight and now you think he's a walking punching bag? If you had seen any punch stats or seen more than one fight you would have known that GGG takes very little punishment and his opponents has a very low connect rate.

    Stevens hit him so did Monroe. The guy is easy to hit but effective at what he does. If he ever fights an elite guy he will get touched up a lot.

    GGG makes Lemieux look like a 154 pounder.
