I'm not saying he's washed but GGG has clearly declined. He's way slower, has less endurance, shocking footwork at times and his defence mostly consist of shelling up. I had Derev winning closely so I think it could also have swayed in Golovkin's way because he did block plenty of Derev's punches and the latter was messy in his work and his face ended up looking way worse than GGG's. But that's not a good look either way. He's been having razor thing close fights (losses or wins) against every proper 160er as of late and there's nothing that'll make this improve for him. He's not winning against Andrade or BJS and not winning rematches against Canelo, Jacobs or Derev IMO. If they are smart, Andrade and BJS should force a fight with him so they can get a good W on their resume. And I don't think he has any business moving to 168 either. This could be ugly for him.
Also, I don't see much difference from the trainer change imo, this came way too late in his career. He may look good in training sessions but there's only so much you can do to improve instincts you built up to 33 years old. Man should have never ditched his finesse under Sanchez for a so called Mexican style, that ruined his boxing though he got rich doing so, so
Finally, his gas tank seem to empty far faster than before. I mean against Canelo 2, he was looking worse than Alvarez smh. Anyway, he's still a warrior and I like that no matter what he will dig deep even though the situation do not look good for him but I don't know what the future holds for him tbh.

to derevyanchenko for his efforts..he really wanted it
.
. I hate incompetent refs man. Anyways I'm not sure where he goes from here. I see him getting stopped by a number of top guys. Sad that dude never got to face all of the top comp at 160. It is what it is
