    Froch, Kessler, Ward, Hopkins and Stevenson are viable opponents for GGG the MONSTER.

    Why is he focused on Welterweights?

      Sorry I must be confused.

      Did Floyd fight Cotto in the welterweight division? Is he going to fight Alvarez in the welterweight division?

        You are comparing the fight night weights of Golovkin, Gatti, and Baldomir. But regardless of fight night weights Gatti had to make 140 at the official weigh in and Baldomir had to make 147 on the scales.

        So for a hypothetical fight with Floyd will Golovkin weigh in officially at 140 or 147 too?

        If not then why are you even making the comparison?

          Doing is better than saying.

            So you are saying that the JMM fight was not a fair fight right?

              And how do you propose he does that when everyone avoids him?

                Because they probably weigh the same as GGG come fight time and Floyd has grown bigger since he fought those guys which is why weight cannot be the excuse for Floyd not fighting Golovkin. There might be other excuses that might even be legit, but weight is not one of them.

                  Move down to the weight and make noise just like he's done at 160.

                  Would be easier now that he's more known now as opposed to when he started at 160.

                  But he's not going to, because he's not going to make 154 lbs.

                    Looks the same size as when he fought Baldomir to me.

                    The scales support that also.
