Golovkin usually rehydrates about 10 pounds. In his last few fights, he's weighed around 170. I know for Macklin he was 170 and for Geale I think he was 171.
Canelo rehydrated to 172 vs. Trout
So anyone who says, "how can a Welterweight be avoiding a Middleweight?"
... I would encourage you to take Floyd's balls out of your mouth ... and suck mine instead.
Floyd holds a 154lb belt, and Golovkin is basically a full-size 154-pound fighter who is fighting at 160. The fight is fair and seeing it would be satisfying no matter what happens.
It's sad that Floyd fans don't say "bring it on" when the prospect of GGG is raised, but because many of them have no real life achievements of their own and must live vicariously through those of their undefeated hero, Floyd's "0" means more to them than the potential of seeing a great fight.
Before anybody accuses me of the same -- I can't wait for Golovkin-Ward, either. But (1) Ward has to be able to fight first and (2) It's hard to move up in weight and then come back down (so I'd like to see this first while Golovkin would still be capable of 154)
Used to be that boxing fans wanted to see the best and most exciting fighters challenge each other. Too bad the Floyd era has spawned nothing but fanboys
Does Golovkin look enormous:
Canelo didn't think so and wasn't afraid.
So let's stop the BS!
