How many weight classes can GGG move up and be successful?

[-Kev-]

Do you think GGG will keep his power going up 15 lbs, against the power punchers in the division, personally i don't.

Too small, too short, beats everyone at 168-175 doe.

Floyd has moved up 5 divisions and 24 pounds..why are people defensive about GGG moving up 1 divisions and 8 pounds?

IDK. I'm OK with Golovkin moving up to 168 or down to 154, in fact I'd much prefer Golovkin to move up - I actually don't think 154 offers the same challenges. What it does obviously offer is more money, but Golovkin is unlikely to see any of it anyway.

If we're talking about Floyd specifically, a fight at 154 is legitimate if Golovkin can make the weight (as long as Floyd remains lineal champ), but simply doesn't have much interest for me - FMJ is both past prime and really a WW.

Sure, I really wouldn't blame GGG for wanting it, but it'd just be pointless and risky for Floyd so ain't gonna happen.

The potential Froch fight (if Carl's poll is anything more than hype) is far more exciting and interesting IMO. This is a potential FOTY between two guys who are relatively closely matched in size, and would give us a real sign as to the quality of Golovkin, win or lose.

That or even a lesser (but still decent) fight against perhaps Bika, Dirrell or Abraham would give us a better idea of what level of fighter Golovkin really is.

I think he can do it.

If he's as skillful as everyone says, it shouldn't matter. Punching power shouldn't be solely relied upon to get the job done.

Great fighters shouldn't have to rely on being the bigger fighter with more punching power in order to get the job done.

But GGG's claim to fame is his power and his ability to cut off the ring.

Why are you so scary when it comes to Floyd?

Question; if he lost before he retires, will it change your mind on him?

Would you say he's not as skillful as everyone makes him out to be?

If he is, then he should be able to accomplish at least what Ezzard Charles already did.
