Why aren't Ward fans calling for him to move up?

    so he made 154 for his last fight? If he didnt then hes not a JMW. Matter of fact i dont remember him ever making 154...ever.

    I like GGG but this is foolish. Asking a WW to fight him? Floyd has had 3 fights at 154 and all big big money fights

      He hasn't.

      Golvokin started his pro career at MW and has never been lower.

      He hasn't been as low as 154 in over a decade since he was an amateur.

        I figured. The "hate Floyd' factor comes into play here.

        GGG big fights are Froch, Chavez, Ward, Cotto, Canelo, Groves, Quillin, and even Jacobs. Hell Lara said he will fight him

          If you're a 154 pound world champion and a fighter says he can make 154 then, asssuming he can make 154, he is a credible and practical opponent. The reason that Golovkin is not an option for Mayweather is not because he is too big, but because if Mayweather fights Golovkin then Mayweather will be lying in a bloody mess upon the canvas.

            From Kevin Iole's new article

            That said, it's not outrageous to suggest that they fight, because Mayweather does hold a 154-pound belt and Golovkin has repeatedly said he could make 154 pounds easily. If you're a 154-pound champion, then you should be ready, willing and able to fight anyone who can make the 154-pound limit.

            There was ample evidence presented just last week that proves Golovkin could make it. On the Monday before the fight, he weighed 161 pounds, just one over the middleweight limit and only seven away from the super welterweight limit.

              Why has he been sitting on the belt for 2.5 years running if he's just a welter? He's the lineal champ FFS

                I honestly think he can. He doesn't look that big to me.

                  Why are you re-posting the exact same thing that I just responded to? What is it with you and doing that?

                  I will respond to it again for you;

                  "I doubt it considering he was 173 lbs on the unofficial weigh in.

                  And he hasn't been that low in over a decade so there's nothing at all to suggest he can make it"

                    Why hasnt GGG fought at 154 if he can? Floyd v GGG is not a big money fight. I know who cares about money, well GGG and Floyd do.

                    I dont care if he releases the 154 belt. I dont think he is a 154 fighter. Matter of fact i dont think either is

                      Cotto's the lineal champ at 160 should he fight Ward and Hopkins?

                      Both said they would move down to 160.
