Why 3G lost his titles the 2nd time he faced top guy?

How can we reveal a 'truth' through a subjective process?

 

Your methodological paradigm is fatally flawed...

 

So if it's obvious, state it, rather than go round the houses with faux questions, which barely hide their motive. These kind of threads are boring and infantile.

You think GGG is overrated and his performances against his best two opponents show this.

See? Summed up in 15 words.

Next...

 

He was 35+ years old against top, top level opponents who were also stylistically difficult for a methodical press forward kind of fighter to square off against.

If Golovkin came up against another methodical press-forward type fighter in the 160 division then GGG would take his head off because GGG is simply the best/toughest at that style of fighting (by a mile); but styles make fights, and the quick huge guy (Jacobs) and the natural, very slick counter-puncher (Canelo) are two good styles for fighting methodical press-forward fighters. (Although GGG easily won Canelo 1).

 

Cooks? Triple G doesn't have a nutritionist lol. He eats with the team but no strict diet. His training style isn't good for longevity. Abel has him run 6 days a week at high altitude and spar three times a week. It's grinding down his joints and also converting his fast twitch to slow twitch muscles. There's a reason why many boxers incorporate more low impact cardio nowadays.

In addition is the lack of speed training. No mention of it at all. So triple G has retained some old man strength but his joints are getting stiffer by the day and he has lost the snap in his punches.

A young triple G was bouncing around on his toes and throwing snappy punches. He was rocking dudes with single shots instead of slowly breaking them down with volume.

Guy was past his prime, fighting Canelo, a top p4p opponent in his prime, on Canelo's terms. Those are the main differences.

Still, both those fights could easily have been scored for GGG or a draw, and he would've kept his titles.

 

Earlier in the days he was less aggressive but he was fast enough to throw sharp counters and follow up after pivoting to the side of opponents. He also used more head movement. A pure boxer-puncher who could fight off his back foot. After Abel we see a rusty shell of that style.
