Golovkin usually rehydrates about 10 pounds. In his last few fights, he's weighed around 170. I know for Macklin he was 170 and for Geale I think he was 171.
Canelo rehydrated to 172 vs. Trout
So anyone who says, "how can a Welterweight be avoiding a Middleweight?"
... I would encourage you to take Floyd's balls out of your mouth ... and suck mine instead.
Floyd holds a 154lb belt, and Golovkin is basically a full-size 154-pound fighter who is fighting at 160. The fight is fair and seeing it would be satisfying no matter what happens.
It's sad that Floyd fans don't say "bring it on" when the prospect of GGG is raised, but because many of them have no real life achievements of their own and must live vicariously through those of their undefeated hero, Floyd's "0" means more to them than the potential of seeing a great fight.
Before anybody accuses me of the same -- I can't wait for Golovkin-Ward, either. But (1) Ward has to be able to fight first and (2) It's hard to move up in weight and then come back down (so I'd like to see this first while Golovkin would still be capable of 154)
Used to be that boxing fans wanted to see the best and most exciting fighters challenge each other. Too bad the Floyd era has spawned nothing but fanboys
Does Golovkin look enormous:

Canelo didn't think so and wasn't afraid.
So let's stop the BS!
Even if Floyd were to mop the floor with GGG (like the Alvarez fight) he wouldn't get any respect around here for it, that's for sure.
Floyd beat GGG that's funny dude
Fight night weight doesn't mean much, Froch rehydrates to 170 or 171, is Canelo the same size as Froch? No he just puts on more water weight relative to his size after the weigh-in. So even though Canelo and GGG might weigh about the same on fight night, GGG clearly has more lean muscle mass than Canelo.
As far as a Floyd/GGG @ 154 fight being satisfying no matter what happens, that's just BS.
If GGG wins = "Congrats, you just beat a blown up WW."
If Floyd wins = "Congrats, you just beat a drained MW."
No one would get credit, pointless fight.
The Floytards we're dancing in the streets when Floyd beat weight drain Canelo
GGG KO Floyd early.
If Maidana can trouble Floyd I can't see Golovkin not walking through him.
Sure he got Canelo good but even if Canelo can't beat Money I think he'd do a little better in a rematch.
Every well known fighter from 140 to 160 is 5' 7" to 5' 9 1/2" big deal!!!
Who can punch out of all of them??? GGG, the rest are not in his class because of the PUNCH!
I'm just glad theres one guy around all these other "champions" who actually has proper techniques when it comes to punching!
To bad he couldn't fight Mayweather the best defensive boxer against the best offensive puncher? It sure would beat the ***** out of this garbage sloppy crap I'm watching with Bika & Derrel, no technique no form no style! Ref stinks too!
Ray.
Truth. Lots of mediocrity amongst all of these overhyped weightclasses. That's why GGG-Kovalev are getting play because they're amongst the very few punchers in the sport who can actually finish fights.

It's not as simple as just looking at fight night weights man. Like even Floyd Mayweather weighs in on fight night the same weight as some light weights do, does that mean he can make light weight? Hell no. Golovkin can't make 154 so I don't know how you can say this fight is feasible.
I can't believe there are posters who are stupid enough to think that Mayweather vs. GGG is a feasible fight. GGG is a damn middle weight. Floyd is a welterweight, and a small one at that. Floyd is no junior middle weight. He hasn't looked all that good in his 3 fights there. Floyd weighs in @ like 151lbs. tops when fighting above welterweight. These same people crying for a stupid Mayweather vs. GGG fight will be the very same posters crying and discrediting Floyd about a catch weight fight with GGG. People want to see Floyd lose so bad that it's hilarious.
I'm a big believer/supporter of ggg. But if ggg really wants a floyd fight or even make a big name for himself 154 is were he should be. Earn a spot so there's no question on whether or not you deserve a fight. Come down to 154 destroy 2 great quality apponents Kirkland than get a title from Andrade/molina and make a ppv name of of canelo/lara
If GGG could make 154 with ease then don't you think he would've already gone there? Taking several fights at 154 would wreck his stamina and just isn't advisable. It's not a sacrifice that needs to be made, especially for a fight that would be extremely doubtful to be made altogether.
Actually he isn't. Khan is bigger than Floyd and Manny
let me rephrase my post that you quoted, he's in the same division as those two, that was the point i was making
and Khan's shoulders and back are so much bigger than Mayweathers and Pacquiao's
he's still the same size fighter as those two

Man Golovkin's shoulders/arms are so much bigger that Canelo's.

That picture also needs to be put into perspective
GGG is 8 years older than Canelo. of course his arms would be bigger than Canelo's at the time that picture was taken, Canelo was what, 20 years old?

WOW...
look at them, they should recruit sergio and form a singing trio, Girls and Homos would reaching for their's junks in every concert.
Well 130 is a stretch (let's not be extreme here) but 135, ok yeah I agree with that.
If Floyd wanted to fight Crawford I'd actually be pumped for that. Sure T.C. doesn't have the résumé yet to justify the fight, but if it happened I would be excited and wouldn't complain one bit
You would be in the minority though
to be fair, Floyd is the exact same size as a ton of 130-135 pound fighters but I bet you wouldnt be ok with him fighting them

Haters are getting desperate. They want that 0 to go as quick as possible no matter what.
No, GGG should not be taking on Floyd, a fighter who is about the same size as a lightweight smh.

Canelo is the same size as GGG; stop saying GGG is too big for Floyd | BoxingScene Community
