RIP Marvelous Marvin Hagler

Golovkin found himself in a similar situation, waiting for Alvarez to fully commit to the 160-pound division. It would have been fascinating to see how he fared against the elite at 168 between 2013 and 2017, with potential matchups that could have further shaped his legacy.

This "waiting for Alvarez" was back when Team Canelo coined the word "marinating." Meanwhile, Canelo somehow saw fit to go up and fight JCC Jr at 164, but nooo.... he had to "marinate" the 1st fight against GGG at 160.

But back to Golovkin, I just see a guy who was content with the idea of reigning over the middleweight division his entire career. Could he have been successful at 168 earlier in his career? Who knows. But he allowed at least part of his career path to be dictated by Canelo. First by waiting on him and his "marinating"... and finally by allowing himself to be dragged to 168 at 40 years old, with all the chips stacked in Canelo's favor.

ggg wasn't at the end of his career during that period but he did wait around for the big money canelo would bring
