Over the course of the last five years, the career of Gennady Golovkin has really been defined by one opponent: Canelo Alvarez. Fans and pundits alike had been talking about the possibility of them squaring off for a long time prior to their initial meeting which, as many of us know, ended in a controversial draw back in September 2017.

Then, just twelve months later, they fought in another absolute war of attrition with the Mexican sensation getting the nod on the judges’ scorecards.

Ever since then, GGG has been determined to prove that he’s still got what it takes to be a world class boxer at the highest level – despite seemingly being in the twilight of his career.

The veteran is 4-0 since losing to Canelo and his eyes are set firmly on finally beating his great rival to cap off an incredible run inside the squared circle.

During a recent interview with Las Vegas Review-Journal, Golovkin opened up on their impending trilogy fight and what a win would mean for his legacy.

“A lot of time has passed. We are different fighters now,” Golovkin said. “It’s the right approach to move on. Not to look back at the previous two fights and train with this idea that is a separate fight.

“I’m sure it’s not going to be an easy fight. My opponent is a champion, he has four belts, and he’s arguably the best fighter at that weight class. I’m jumping to the weight class for the first time and I’m fighting the best fighter in that class. Most likely I’ll feel fresh in that weight category. I think I’ll be ready for the physical standpoint. I think I’ll feel more comfortable in that weight class. On the other hand, I should say I feel extremely comfortable in my class. At 160.”

“It would be the biggest win in my career. It would be the best thing that happened. That would be very fulfilling,” Golovkin said.

GGG is a nice guy and a future HOFer in his own right.

But he's also one of the stupidest MOFOs in boxing.

Facing Ginger one more time, this time at 40 years of age...

Facing Ginger at a weight more suited to the bigger Ginger...

Facing Ginger in Las Vegas (aka: Gingerland), with Ginger judges...

Facing Ginger knowing a KO is the only chance he has of winning, yet Ginger has shown he can take GGG's punches, if nothing else...



GGG doesn't give a damn about losing to Ginger again.

He just wants that big payday so he can ride off into the sunset 10 times richer than he is now.

In doing so he's giving Ginger the opportunity to crow about another (cough) "legacy-defining" victory.
if caleb plant or david benavidez were fighting ggg next & won, would you consider it a legacy defining victory for them? or you think ggg is done?
