Hopkins was 36 when he finally got his break-thru vs Trinidad. That win more-less validated his ho-hum run through the MW division prior to Trinidad as being an ATG MW.
Golovkin is similar to Hopkins in that he takes very good care of himself and has developed strong fundamentals and strong and intelligent fighting mentality. He should age well over the next 5 years. Plenty of time for Alvarez, Khytrov, Lemieux, Quillin, Jacobs, Eubank, Charlo's, Derevyanchenko, Wade, Murata, J-Rock, and Spence to develop a reputation and fight Golovkin.
