This week’s panelists were asked for their thoughts on the career of Gennadiy Golovkin, the one-time scourge of the middleweight division who now appears to have reached the end of the road.
Wayne Alexander (former European Super Welterweight Champion)
He will be remembered as one of the best and most exciting middleweights of his generation; a future Hall of Famer with a decent action style and power. He won multiple title fights against top opponents from 2014 to 2018 and made most of them look easy. His only loss was against another future Hall of Famer in Canelo Alvarez, with his highly entertaining and highly controversial trilogy. Most people think that he at least won one of his contests.
Tyrone McKenna (Super Lightweight Contender)
“Triple G” will always be remembered as one of the most forceful middleweights and with an entertaining style. When you tuned in to a Triple G fight you knew it wasn’t going to be boring. He stalked his opponents and unleashed devastating hooks from the first bell to the last. He never dodged any fighter. He has had an incredible career.
Dave Allen (Heavyweight Contender)
I will remember him as one of the best middleweights of all time. I don’t think we’ve seen the best of him, but he was still a fantastic all-rounder and his boxing was brutal and beautiful in equal measure.
Jason Cunningham (European Super Bantamweight Champion)
A devastating puncher. Unfortunately, and probably because of this, he was an avoided fighter. Still, he rose to the top of the sport and, financially, has come out on top.
