Video: Chris Mannix, Sergio Mora discuss decline (or not) of Triple-G

Genndaiy Golovkin’s tooth-and-nail war with unheralded Sergey Derevyanchenko in October raised an obvious question: Has Triple-G declined?

It wasn’t long ago that Golovkin steamrolled through the middleweight division, scoring a remarkable 23 consecutive knockouts even as he raised his level of opposition.

Then he struggled to beat Danny Jacobs, drew (controversially) and lost to Canelo Alvarez, and went to hell and back to defeat Derevyanchenko by a close, unanimous decision.

Hall of Fame trainer Teddy Atlas went so far to say that Triple-G “looked like a shot fighter” against Derevyanchenko and questioned whether a third fight with Alvarez makes sense from a competitive standpoint.

“It’s called Father Time, it’s called nature, it’s called aging, and it comes to all of us, but we all don’t have to fight for a living,” Atlas said of the 37-year-old Kazakhstani. “… When the truth comes to you in the ring, the truth can hit you, bang, hard and fast.”

DAZN commentators Chris Mannix and Sergio Mora discuss that topic on Jabs with Mannix and Mora.

Listen to what they have to say.
