Golovkin has always been rather easy to hit and the Armenian chap hit him a good few times in the first round but golovkin looked very good in the second round and squashed him...

Golovkin is certainly beatable of course due to his habit of getting whacked in the head. And I am picking alvarez for the win again!
GGG just hasn’t looked great even kind of before the Jacobs fight. GGG has very underrated defense. Sometimes he would allow himself to get hit by opponents to make them throw punches, but if he didn’t want to get hit, he could avoid punches.

He seems to be slowing down and getting hit more than he used to. And by getting hit I mean when he is trying to avoid the shots. His punches looked a bit slower too. He hasn’t grown old overnight and he is still a great fighter, but I think his days are numbered.

And I’m hoping that your last sentence was a joke.
