The answer is clearly yes imo..Nobody at 160lb wants a part of this guy,and he is wasting time at this weight imo..He needs to move up to 168lb and mix it up with Froch and Ward..What are some thoughts about this??
GGG fights FOUR times per year and is talking about fighting up to SIX times per year. I have no problem if one of those fights is against an up and coming fighter when no one else has the guts to step in the ring with him.
What's Ward's excuse for fighting Smith? And no, his short layoff is not a valid reason if he is anywhere near as good a fighter as his fans claim he is.
Who do you suggest ward shoulda fought instead?
His career not mine. I truly believe he is the goods but hasnt proved it. But you guys/girls think beating monroes of the world is good enough so enjoy the mismatches but dont talk when others do it too

It is optional at this point!
160 is where the money at for him, so I think staying at 160 for now could be more profitable for now because him vs Cotto or Canelo are bigger match ups and that is why the fans are calling for MORE. After he cleans up 160 then he can jump to 168 if he decides, would have to take a fight or 2 to see how he does at 168 before jumping in with somebody the caliber of a Andre Ward
Moving up is Option it is not required like some fans are trying to make it.
Jack, direll, groves, froch, chavez, ward, degale, and others. But your right stuck around for Cotto who is not going to fight him and canelo that oscar said not for a few years.
Monroes and 500k forever for this 33 year old.
But hey its his career not mine.
Those guys aren't much.
GGG made $1.5 Million, not including international fees, for the Monroe fight. I think he would be happy earning over $2 Million total per fight for 4 fights per year. Golovkin is a BOXER, a FIGHTER. He is not satisfied by sitting on his ass and fighting once or twice a year he lives in the ring. Once he unifies the titles, he won't have to go looking for opponents, they will be lining up to try and win his titles and GGG will be the only game in town.

Hes in a tough position. He's clearly staying at 160 hoping to get Cotto or Canelo. Cotto will never fight him and Canelo wont fight him anytime soon. By the time the Canelo fight happens if ever he'll be at least 35. Which fights is he going to take in the interim that are compelling? People say Lee, Lemeiux, Quillin, etc but none of those fights are all that likely either and even theyre made he's a heavy favorite. He's going to end up fighting Willie Monroes, Tureno Johnsons, etc.

Who's he cherrypicking? He's a middleweight who want's the historic belt and money that comes with Cotton or Canelo.
Ask Cotton to move down and stop holding that damn belt hostage if he doesn't want GGG.
Stop praying for Ward to save Cotton, they're in different divisions.
GGG fluffer brigade of course he wants money fights, GGG doesn't bring money. The guy has been on HBO 2 years, no PPV and is still only putting in 10-12k in seats. That's great it really is, but you're talking about money right now... He is sticking around for the money right?
Cotto/Mayweather II
Cotto/Canelo
Cotto/GGG
Canelo/Mayweather II
Canelo/Cotto
Canelo/GGG
Looks like he's the last option for both guys, they're trying to get paid too. So if it's okay for GGG to wait around on a big money fight, the other guys can wait around for a big money fight too. GGG doesn't offer big money in fact, let me fix my list...
Cotto/Mayweather II
Cotto/Canelo
Cotto/GGG
- -
Canelo/Mayweather II
Canelo/Cotto
Canelo/GGG
He'll have to stay cherry picking no hopers and asking JMW to move up. But hey, he's trying to get paid.
And WTF is going on in 168? Other than overweight Ward it's a dead division too.
MW has Cotto and soon Canelo... two big stars who will get GGG recognition and money.

GGG's the only guy in boxing who can cherry pick while he waits for a big fight and gets a pass. Must be nice.
I think Canelo has the right idea... stay in one division, even if it's made up, beat up on anyone you want and just wait for a big fight to happen. It's working for GGG as well...
Cotto moves up to his 4th weightclass and challenges himself and he's the ducking diva, the world we live in now lol.

MW is a wasteland and hes 33 still fighting the Monroes of the world so YES

I totally agree..It's nothing against 3G it's just I'm ready to see him in some really good fights and Cotto and Alvarez do not seem to want none..
This.
I love the guys style I have him on my favorite fighter list for a reason. But I'm tired of mismatches. FOTY candidates are never mismatches, they're tough fights that are incredibly tough to score, that's what I like to see.
He's the mandatory for Cotto's title so why would he? He's either going to force that fight or take step aside money and force a fight with the winner of Cotto-Canelo.
I just hope he fights someone decent in the interim unlike the bums we've become accustomed to
