GGG has 1 competitive fight now he is "slipping" yea right more like media overhyping

[just the facts]

why is the bar set so high for golovkin almost every fighter in history have had off nights or fights where theyve struggled stylistically. even someone like mayweather had a bad night against maidana whos not really on his level, did you all say he was exposed after that?

That's one way of looking at it, but keep in mind g string has exactly one quality win (Jacobs) and barely sc****d by in that one. Every other great fighter had lots of quality wins to go along with the fights they struggled with.

Btw, did you ever find the link to back up the post where you accused Andre Ward of being a wife beater? A very low life scumbag ****sukker thing to do with no proof

Dude is a coward he has me on ignore too

Its a compliment to me....that coward can't handle real talk. He's a garbage poster.

If Jacobs had made the IBF fight day weigh in, but GGG had skipped it, relinquished his IBF title, and refused to step on the scales before getting in the ring, you would be squealing like a stuck pig about it.

shouldve couldve wouldve aint showing or proving shyt

what i do know is ggg is a very good fighter who fed on bad competition far too long

its easy to look like an all time great, when youre an A class fighter, fighting C Level guys with the occasional B thrown in

yep just another badge of honor

Well lets not be fanboyish or haterish about it as I'm sure this thread will delve into real quick.

Its not unreasonable that a 35 year old fighter has reached his peak & is in the downward trend of his career. Far more of the great fighters we talk about were shot at 35 than were not shot by 35. That's just a fact. So its not crazy that GGG could very well be "slipping". Is he or isn't he? That's the sorta thing you can never realllllllly say til a guy's story is over cuz we just don't got the full perspective to grasp things on that level. So ultimately its all speculation, either way, right now.

You make fair points. The issue I have is the people that are saying he is showing slippage-Porter's Dad for instance who created the thread-are saying this now after saying they thought he dominated Jacobs. Many of those agreeing with him in that thread also felt GGG dominated the fight.

GGG hasn't fought since the Jacobs fight so if he dominated the Jacobs fight to the degree Porter's Dad and others suggested, how is it possible he is showing slippage?

Porter's Dad made that thread because GGG was in a very tough close fight, one in which he appears to have sustained some damage, and didn't get his usual KO win. That happens when you step up in competition, especially if you are outweighed by a good bit as I believe GGG was against Jacobs.

GGG is a very good boxer, no doubt. That said he has amassed his record and accomplishments against opponents that have been past it or are simply average or slightly above average.

The 1st time he stepped up in comp, and by no means is Jacobs a top tier A level boxer, he couldn't do the things he usually does. That isn't slippage, thats just not being as great as those that like him suggest.

Obviously, given how much they like him and the abhorrent racial atmosphere on NSB right now, they are not going to entertain that he might not be as good as they think.

Obviously at 35 he is getting older. It just doesn't make sense to claim a guy dominated the best guy he ever fought and then, months later, without seeing him in the ring again, claim "slippage" is why people are willing to fight him.

actually the bar set too low for someone with his talent

he will get a pass for not rematching jacobs, his die hard fans already have

the media made excuses why he never fights the best

its easy for an A level fighter to look like an all time great when he fights c level competiton with the occassional B level opponent...come bro....keep it real

no one was saying it was age for floyd either even though he was older with more fights and over 20 world title fights...he fought real world contenders and champs from 199802015 cosistently....it was style...same thing for GGG...he never dealt with someone with jacobs combination of speed, power, reflexes, and switch hitting

it was more about style, talent than "slippage" from ggg

We don't know if he's slipping or that's his best because he's never fought anyone. He had a chance to show the world how good he was against Ward and we all know he wanted none of it.

I'm a fan of G and I don't think he can beat Ward. Ward gets away with a lot of crap. Holding coming in with his head down, he was grabbing Kovalev's leg and trying to trip him down. Kovalev neutralized this because of his size. G is smaller and I think he doesn't have the strength to overcome this. If both guys stick to boxing by the rules then it would be an even fight. The way it is now he has no chance. Ironically Ward is the guy who's greatness is in doubt because he always gets a free pass from the referees. Most of the negative comments about Ward center on his fighting style How about Ward stepping up and fighting using the rules to silence his critics.. That isn't going to happen.

The hardcore GG crowd has decided to jump over to Loma if anything goes wrong so expect them to start resigning GG as past-prime so that no fighters will get any credit for beating him now that Canelo and Charlo are in the division.

Lomachenko did more in his first 5 fights than buttlovekin did his entire career.

Why does everyone bring up porters daddy? Why and how is he relevant at all in any conversation?
