After seeing this picture I realized GGG is a small middleweight

      Golovkin and Pac got that mysterious Growth Hormone effects on the tops of their craniums...

      Look at Lil'G bouts before, his head seemed more natural...

        Agreed. So why won't Ward meet Golovkin half way at 164? That's fair right?

          so why doesn't he fight at 154? A lot of good fighters coming up in that division. Fight Lara at 154 for a chance to be a 2 division champion. Or stay at 160 and do the same thing for a few more years lol

            GGG is a natural MW. He doesn't cut a ton of weight and he's not too small either. He's average sized. 5'10 170 seems right for that pic and those are his stats.

              Big at 154lbs and slightly small at 168lbs.
              This. He's as true a middleweight as any fighter I've seen in the division.

                Because MW is one of original divisions with reach history and more prestige, unlike 154. GGG haters desperately trying to downplay this division. If there are no good fighters from US or GB, division sucks according to many here. But historically dominating MW puts him in line with Monzon, Hagler and BHop.

                  Why doesn''t a guy who fought at 160 his entire life not suddenly go down to 154 when he is 35 years old and fight the guys at 154 who dont want to fight him anyway?

                  You realize the talk about 154-168 was a couple years ago when he entered the scene, and since over 2 years its clear he will focus on unifying MW.

                  He is not a big MW and not a small one either, just the perfect weight for him, moving down at his age wouldnt be smart. We have seen how it affected Dawson for example. He was never the same.

                  Also people seem to forget that Hopkins fought exclusively at Middleweight until he was 41 years old and he was kinda forced to move up, because he lost to Jermaine Taylor twice in a row and said he has become too big for MW.

                  Bernard is 6´1" and really fits way better into 168-175.

                    He is actually a perfect looking 160 fighter.

                      The one to his right. The taller girl to Ronda's right is Jessamyn Duke, 5'11" and also a UFC 135 lb fighter.
