    You aren't supposed to be that good at that "old" age.
    But he keeps destroying everybody, like Tyson did at 18.

    Wlad is almost 40 and in better shape and condition like in his twenties. He said he feels better and stronger as with 25.

    Outside the US, men are in their prime in their 30's. We don't need to worry about debts, student loans in ridiculous amount and health insurance. We live, enjoy life and that makes us strong.

    I don't find this statement to be accurate. Late thirties? That's ancient in boxing usually.

    he's beaten a lot of people in the top 10. Who do you think can beat him?

    I can see people seeing his career in a similar way to the kiltschos unfortunately, ie have a really impressive record in title defences etc, but no stand out win, and being the best in a weak era

    He's a lot better to watch than the klits though.

    Geale, Stevens, Macklin and Rubio all beaten in a combined 12 rds.
    In style, and hardly breaking a sweat.

    All of who would be gatekeepers in any other era...........b graders.

    Golovkin is good but once someone with power, ability and the balls steps up let's see how he goes..... Not saying he will fold be he's still relatively speaking untested

    Well, if those people you mention prefer to vacate their titles rather than face GGG, what does it say about him ?

    What would you say about PBF if Corales, Castillo, Hatton and Alvarez had all prefered to vacate their titles rather than to fight him ?

    Athletes in general now peak later and for longer so I'd say Golovkin is at his peak now.

    He's undoubtedly impressive, while he is dominating a weak division and the best are avoiding him the manner in which he is dominating with brutal display of power after brutal display of power is impressive, no jab and grab here.
