Me and @krackdagawd been sayin this too. He does testing for brook all of a sudden dudes body lookinSaunders: Aging Golovkin Has Slowed Down Due to "Drug Tests"
By Keith Idec
Billy Joe Saunders insinuated Monday that Gennady Golovkin hasn’t been as effective in his past two fights because he has been thoroughly tested for performance-enhancing drugs.
Saunders’ accusation was part of his response to a question about who would win the highly anticipated middleweight championship showdown between Golovkin and Canelo Alvarez on September 16. The unbeaten WBO middleweight champion made the inflammatory remarks during a press conference to promote his mandatory title defense against Georgia’s Avtandil Khurtsidze on July 8 at Copper Box Arena in London.
“I think that’s gonna be a close fight,” Saunders said of Alvarez-Golovkin. “I thought Golovkin [would win] comfortable at first, but Canelo’s got a few tricks. It all depends if Golovkin’s got a bit old, isn’t it? His last fight, let’s face it, he wasn’t the best Golovkin that we’ve seen two or three years ago. He’s slowed down a bit.
“But also, my opinion is that had something to do with having – my opinion on this – he had five drug tests. And that’s my opinion on the stuff that happens in America. So I don’t think he boxed to his best ability because it’s a fair playing field.”
The 35-year-old Golovkin (37-0, 33 KOs) was tested regularly by the Las Vegas-based Voluntary Anti-Doping Association (VADA) throughout training camp for his 12-round, unanimous-decision victory over Daniel Jacobs (32-2, 29 KOs) on March 18 at Madison Square Garden.
Golovkin dropped Jacobs during the fourth round of that fight, but Jacobs recovered to make their title fight very competitive and ended Golovkin’s 23-fight knockout streak. A few days before beating Jacobs, Golovkin said VADA randomly tested him five times during training camp for their fight and that he welcomes such stringent testing to prove that he’s a clean fighter.
In his previous appearance, for which VADA also tested him, Golovkin had difficulty dealing with Kell Brook at times before he stopped Brook in the fifth round September 10 at O2 Arena in London.
England’s Brook (36-1, 25 KOs), who moved up two weight classes to challenge Golovkin, suffered a fractured orbital bone around his right eye during their fight. That injury caused Brook’s trainer, Dominic Ingle, to stop their fight.
Saunders (24-0, 12 KOs) thought he would get an opportunity to upset Golovkin on June 10 in Golovkin’s native Kazakhstan. Their handlers had been negotiating, but Golovkin decided to bypass that middleweight title unification fight once negotiations intensified to make his lucrative, long-discussed fight against Alvarez (49-1-1, 34 KOs).
Like all boxers from the United Kingdom, Saunders is subject to year-round random testing by UK Anti-Doping. That agency requires boxers to inform it of their whereabouts 365 days per year, so that testing can take place at any time.

At the weigh in. All of a sudden his punches can't knock down a welterweight. Ever since that pic of his gloves I been suspicious of dude. Rosado hinted at it too.

not everyoneSo does the coli agree that Joshua would be the favorite over Wilder?
I personally think Joshua would KO him
Wilder doesn't like to get hit and pressured. I mean nobody likes that but he acts bad when he gets hit and a skilled pressure fighter with the size of him (like Joshua) who's also not too robotic so he won't get discoraged cause he can't set his feets for a punch I see Wilder losing. Of course you can never count out Wilde but I feel like if Joshua got out of harm's way against Klitschko most of the times, (obviously not all fight though...) he can avoid Wilder shots too. I think Wlad is a more precise and skilled puncher than Wilder is. Wilder's straight right is more explosive than any Wlad punch though.
