Only 35??? 35 to 40 is the age 95% of most athletes retire
I still think he is very very good. Still hits like a truck but anybody who has watched his last few fights can tell he is slowing down. He has been fighting some big opponents like Jacobs but you can tell GGG is slowly declining. He should have got a big fight like this 3 or 4 years ago.
Will still be an amazing fight though
I disagree. Brook, at no point, was winning the fight with Golovkin. Brook is a huge welterweight, was undefeated, has a legit win over Shawn Porter(thought Porter beat Thurman which gives Brook the only legit win over him...to me anyway) who is VERY legit, and was going to have to move up in weight soon anyway. He also takes a hell of a punch. He broke his fucking orbital and didn't go down...that's one tough sob.
As far as Jacobs...Jacobs is underrated as hell. He's a big middleweight(6'2") and has a long reach and 1 punch ko power. That's a tough fight for anybody. If Jacobs and Canelo fought, I'm putting money on Jacobs.
On the other side, Canelo fights the notoriously chinny Amir Khan, loses every round up until the knockout punch, and GGG gets criticized? He beats up Chavez Jr, who came for a money grab and not to fight, and everybody talks about how great he looked?
People are crazy. Golovkin by ko in a "competitive while it lasts" affair.
