Would you keep that same energy for other 37 year old former unified champs though? You people are crazy - expecting a 37 year old who has reached the very pinnacle of the middleweight division to carry on fighting elite competition - for what? Surely when you reach that age and status boxing becomes more of a business, where its a case of grabbing as much money as possible before you retire. The mere fact that you place such high demands on the guy must show how much you low key rate him.
With regards to the opponent list you posted, admittedly they aint the best but still respectable:
Steve Rolls - tune up fight after a career long 9 month absence out of the ring
Sergiy Derevyanchenko - former Olympian, outstanding amateur career (390-20), former world title challenger and IBF number 1 at the time.
Kamil Szeremeta - IBF mandatory bout
Ryota Murata - Olympic Gold Medalist & and two time Middleweight World Championisagj likes this.

Continue to fight elite competition? He never really did fight elite competition. When he stepped up from fighting bums that were his mandatory, he barely got by. When his mandatory became a good fighter, he chose not to fight him. Never made the effort to fight any top competition at 154 or 168 if he couldn't face a good fighter at 160.
Lets have it right, 28-33 year old Golovkin would've MURDERED anyone from 154-168 - that's when he was at his absolute prime, which oddly enough seemed to coincide with a period of time where nobody wanted to fight him...

Here's the truth:
Canelo got busted for Clenbuterol, Golovkin called him out on it and Canelo took it personally for some reason. Canelo was upset that his opponent called him out for his drug abuse. I mean, C'mon... Don't take Clen.
