Gatti, Baldomir and Golovkin. Fightnight weights

[malcolm]

Yep stopping Macklin is the new yardstick of greatness in here , it didn't take them long to find a MW for Floyd after they said he was ducking Canelo , yet mention GG going up to fight Ward which is less of a reach that Floyd has to do and its oh Ward is too big , there are some pathetic posters in this forum and 99% are Manny fanboys , its a case of Manny was exposed and they hate Floyd for it , Manny is a loser so they hate Floyd because he is a winner .

You know how it is.

I think the Floyd hate is coming from more than just pac stans.

Regardless of whatever, Floyd, Broner and Ward all are undefeated and the haters are about to explode.

So why doesn't he move up and fight Ward? Floyd is busy with the best at 154. After that its more than likely back down to 47 to vanquish more "great hypes" like Matthyse.

GGG should be like Floyd and Broner and challenge himself at the higher weights.

Whoever beats Ggg at 154 will get no props anyway becuz haters will just say "ggg was drained at 54".

Team ggg needs to sack up and dare to be great at 168. Froch and Ward await....

Why is Floyd holding on to the SWW belt for 1+ years if he's too small to defend it?

What to many people on this board don't understand is there is a difference between CAMPAIGNING at a weight and FIGHTING at a weight. Just because you can make a weight doesn't mean you campaign and permanently fight there. Floyd is a 47 pounder who has taken a FEW lucrative fights at 154. That doesn't mean he is a duck if he doesn't fight every single viable fighter at 54 WHICH ISN'T HIS WEIGHTCLASS. Now if he doesn't fight every viable option at 47 we are having a conversation because that's the weight he campaigns at.

Because he's not campaigning at that weight.

I wish I had read your post first. I wouldn't have posted. Great minds...

GGG said after his 1st HBO fight that he is willing to fight anyone from 154 to 168 lbs...he has no problem with 154.

Ward/Dawson remember that? Dawson also had no problems with 168 till after he got beat then came excuses from him and much more from "fans"

Plenty at MW and SMW no need for this fight

GGG fans are beyond SHOOK of Andre Ward.

SHOOK!

Generally if you're holding a belt in the division, you're active there. Weight too much? Drop the belt. He's obviously campaigning there if he fought there last year, and is about to fight there (abouts) next. Seems like fishing for excuses.

baldomir was a beast. that win looks better and better as time passes.

The bottom line is this. Floyd has belts in both weight classes. It's obvious to anyone with eyes that he's undersized at Jr. Middleweight.

Canelo is a huge Jr. Middleweight. Why wouldn't Floyd try and balance the size difference out some to make it a FAIR FIGHT?

Why is Floyd getting criticized for simply wanting an even playing field?
