    Because he was busy setting the all time record for most title defenses at middleweight.

        I assume it's because he takes care of himself and is comfortable at 160. I mean let's be honest here, nobody's forcing him to fight top level guys right now. What's the point of moving up?

          He set the record in his last fight.

            He's rather bloated and fat lately.

              I can’t wait to see the pictures of fat GGG.

                Maybe. But my point was that if he can still make 160 comfortably, why move up? Golovkin is one of the few fighters I can think of, that never actually gets pressured to fight anybody good.

                  because if its such a crap division then what is there to prove by moving up and fighting there? kind of obvious. you saw canelo go life and death with GGG at 160, have problems with fighter at 154s but hes barely broke a sweat against the slop at 168

                    While Canelo set the record for most CATCHWEIGHTS.
                    20% of his fights have been catchweight
