GGG not a big MW imo he's a normal MW a normal size man probably walks around at about 179-182 and he's 5'10 that's not a big guy but at some point we should get GGG vs Ward especially If we get Mayweather vs Pacquiao, Canelo vs Cotto and all these other good match ups people's will gonna force that fight to be made there will be no more denying it plus they both fighting on HBO it's a no brainier

Mike tyson was also 5'10"

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).

Well there's another reason why they aren't comparable.

When Alvarez in his 30's I doubt he can make 154 the either.

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?

Cotto used to kill himself to make 140, going into the Malinaggi fight they were worried it might get canceled. He then blamed his losses to Clottey & Pacquiao at having to make 147. So far Golovkin hasn't had any difficulty making 160.

Hagler, Monzon, Hopkins all made & stayed at 160 for the same time periods Golovkin's been doing so. Meanwhile Andre Ward's suddenly looking skinnier than ever, likely changing his lifestyle to ensure he can continue to make 168.

I'm not following? Golovkin's in his 30's and claims he can make 154 (and given how Angulo, Lara, and Alvarez fight at 154 and have a similar rehyrdation/fight night weight as Golovkin, I imagine that's accurate). Who knows what Alvarez will be like in 6 years. He carries too much muscle, but that seems to be his natural build.

He claims he can. I doubt he can.

Alvarez ain't making 154 in 6 years. He can't even make it now.

When I see Golovkin I see middleweight, and he doesn't look like he has a ton to give up. I could see why people say he shouldn't move up but I also don't think that is impossible for him.

[Kagami Taiga]

He's a solid middleweight. All that talk about making 154 is just that, talk. He's not even attempting to do that ballooning up past 170 during his off time.

There is nothing at MW for GGG.
