Re: Golovkin at 35 y/o was a superior fighter to the 35 y/o Canelo (recent version)

Shame Golovkin's legacy is tainted with two robberies vs Canelo. He'd probably be in line as one of the greatest ever, but sadly... even though we all know they were robberies, all what matters at the end of the day and for the record books is the final result. In 20 years time noone's gonna rememb...

Re: Golovkin at 35 y/o was a superior fighter to the 35 y/o Canelo (recent version)

In 20 years time noone's gonna remember "Golovkin should have two wins over Canelo too" it'll be just "he couldnt beat Canelo" I mean, us here on the board still talk about robberies from the 80’s and 90’s Castillo vs Mayweather still gets brought up with regularity around here....

Re: Golovkin at 35 y/o was a superior fighter to the 35 y/o Canelo (recent version)

Why could only one of them turn Pro? That doesn't make sense Kazakhstan could only send one middleweight from the two brothers. Gennadiy was older by about 15 minutes. Max apparently stepped aside for Gennadiy. Sacrificing his chances. He stayed home and cared for his family. Their two older brothe...

Re: Golovkin at 35 y/o was a superior fighter to the 35 y/o Canelo (recent version)

At 35yrs old, yes, I would say so. You could argue Canelo put more wear and tear on his body, as he turned pro at 15. Then again, GGG had a 345-5 amateur record at elite level. GGG was very heavily avoided by the top tier guys, in general. Martinez, Sturm, Taylor, Quillin and a lot others gave him ...

Re: Golovkin at 35 y/o was a superior fighter to the 35 y/o Canelo (recent version)

I feel like he was a better fighter period, but achievement wise Canelo has the edge on him. Yes but thats mostly because of GGGs poor management. He could've been matched more properly with more known fighters from 154 like Angulo, Bundrage, Kirkland, Trout and Lara to build up a better resume. I ...

Golovkin at 35 y/o was a superior fighter to the 35 y/o Canelo (recent version)

Man, Golovkin at 35-36 y/o was in a very good shape compared to this version of Canelo. Back then Canelo was like 26-27 y/o when he fought GGG for the first time. Of course styles make fights and Crawford's style and set of skills are different from GGG's, but still you could see that Canelo was not...

Canela avoided Benavidez @ 168 like plague. He did the same with GGG back then when he fought Khan and then waited that GGG to get a bit older to fight him. lol He even lost that extra pound and dropped to 154 to fight Liam Smith. Anything to help age GGG. true , then moved up above 160 to fight Jc...

Re: Artur Beterbiev vs. Dmitry Bivol II | PPV - February 22, 2025

Masterclass! Bivol had a better game plan and tactic but tbh it was a bit risky because Artur caught him with some good counters that could've hurted Bivol. Bivol's footwork, high pace ring activity and conditioning were stellar. I thought Bivol would just jab,jab, 1-2, grab and move a lot like tryi...
