Comments Thread For: 30 Day Weights: Golovkin 172-Pounds, Murray 169

[Sancho Puncho]

GGG probably realized that Floyd or Cotto is not possible and now is aiming Hopkins. He really put a lot of muscles recently. He hardly ever leaves a gym with his busy schedule.
And what happened to Murray? He really goes through hell in his preparation. Big surprise!

[Nay_Sayer]

Not in world title fights, which is what they are talking about here.

Golovkin has *never* fought in a world title fight as a professional.

[Foreign Soil]

As tiny as Canelo, yet never bothered to go down to the stacked 154 division where he had/has Canelo, Cotto, Lara, Trout, Andrade, Molina, Bundrage, Martirosyan, Smith. Charlo. Literally any name at 154 is better than a win over a top 10 MW. More money too, yet he keeps his tiny ass self at 160.

Stacked? Lara couldn't even beat Molina. 154 is full of flawed, generic fighters.

He ducked Ward, he's not thinking about Hopkins.

do people say golovkin is a small middleweight?

Yes, they do.

[bigjavi973]

more than 30 pro bouts... hasn't moved up weight even once... "he wants to unify belts doe"

[IronDanHamza]

Not small, not big.

Normal sized.

Agreed.

Solid MW.

lol @ all the Flomos, Canelo walks around at cruiser but it was all good to fight him.

Canelo was fighting at Jr MW and came up from WW.

Golovkin hasn't been lower than MW in like a decade. Maybe longer.

Alvarez hasn't fought under 150lbs since he was 19. When Golovkin was 19, he was in the amateurs fighting at WW - (Macklin talked about that).

don't know why some are surprised that he's at 172,he probably weighs over 180 when not fighting,a lot of fighters do this(go down that much)...juanma when he was at 122,cotto when he was at 140,all fighters go through this,mostly all do,check the 30 day weigh in and you will see how much they weigh,its not that they should start moving up in weight,i bet the supermiddleweights do the same thing by moving down that much

Terrible comparison to cotto. They are almost the same age and cotto has already moved up to 154 from 140 while ggg is still at 160 his whole career. Why hasn't he even bothered to move up at all? Not even once?
