    Exactly, with so many belts, it's so bad these days
    Broner is on the right path at 25...BUT back to the topic....why is a 15 pound gap to much for such a monster , such a special fighter in GGG??? He is only in his 1st weight class

      he isn't on the right path, he got handled badly by a b level slugger, got beaten in reality by a fighter like PDL and almost got beaten by someone as faded as Malignaggi. Broner isn't stepping up in competition anytime soon lol

      15lb gap is a lot when considering the type of fighter we're talking about here. GGG is exceptional at MW with great power but Kovalev is just too big at 175 and hits too damn hard. It's not like GGG is fighting a MW who weighs in at 15lb heavier on fight night.

      Fight night weights and actual weights are too very different things. In boxing, size often matters.

        GGG was 173 for the Rubio fight. He's not as small as people think.

            Surely this is about Floyd look Floyd is a special fighter and Golovkin is not that's why the standards are different. If you're great expect to be treated differently than the rest.

                Golovkin has the power to KO Kovalev. Plus Kovalev won't weigh 20lbs heavier, he'd be 15lbs heavier.

                  No special fighters get outweighed by 10-15 pounds all the time moving u in weight

                    GGG because the fight would be well below 175 and Kov looks like he can't really go any lower.
                    Lmao ,


                    Abel Sanchez said kovalev was scared of ggg in sparring so I pick ggg

                      GGG and Kovalev have apparently sparred a lot. They're really good friends as well.

                      Word was that GGG dropped him in sparring as well.

                      Buuuuuut, then again, that's just word from Abel.

                      I'd still favor Kovalev.
