Matthysse's was a mistake, he didn't actually weight that much.
Alvarez, Trout, and Angulo all fight at MW now because they couldn't sustain those kind of fight night weights fighting at 154. Golovkin's never even fought at 154, it is very hard to imagine he can move down now and be okay. There's a reason you don't usually see fighters spend years at a weight and move down without a problem. The fighters who do manage it are the ones who don't weigh much above the division limit on fight night. That isn't Golovkin.
