Come the fuck on. Golovkin looked old? What fight were you watching? He got pressured all night. And his opponent stood up to his punches. That's what happened. He did not look old.He did figMayweather but that was a no lose situation for him. Nobody expected him to win, it was an event more than a fight. Other than that he's taken advantage of the fact that he's Mexican and has the biggest boxing demographic following to carefully manage his career, even creating his own weight class to avoid having to face Golovkin. It's true that 160 was a weak division for most of the time Golovkin was there which makes it all the more obvious that once he couldn't make 154 Alvarez was so terrified at the prospect of facing Golovkin that he wouldn't even fight in a weak weight class until Golovkin got old.Alvarez fought the best fighter in the world at 21 years old. He fought tricky fighters like Trout and Lara when he didn't have to. Cotto avoided him for years. Until he finally had no choice. He was always gonna fight Golovkin. But it was always gonna be Alvarez dictating the terms. Not Golovkin. And enough with the Golovkin was the most avoided fighter around. Yeah Martinez and Cotto avoided him like the plague. But aside from them, middleweight was a weak divisionat that time. Nobody was stopping him from going to 168 and challenge himself if a big fight is what he really wantedLara, Trout, Kirkland, Mayweather, Cotto, Golvokin (2). Alvarez is 28. Golovkin is 36. Look at the big names on Alvarez resume. Than look at the big names on Golvokin. It says it all
Yeah, and what age did they both turn pro?
Of the very few names that were available for golovkin to fight nobody wanted to know. He's been the most avoided fighter of the last ten years. Alvarez has done the most avoiding. He even created his own weight class at 155 to avoid having to fight an anywhere near prime Golovkin. And you know all this. You're just trying to make a bunch of bullshit justifications for the most carefully managed fighter there is.
