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

And I think he gain some muscle mass too. Maybe getting ready for 168.

I feel bad for Murray...

I meant the 160lbs he has to make to fight at MW. He has to cut 10 or so pounds to get to 160.

Oh. This being Golovkin's 2nd WBC sanctioned fight, I think this is only the second time he's done a 30 day weigh-in. I have to wonder if he (and other fighters) don't usually cut weight for these early weigh-ins because they then weigh a good 10-15lbs over the day of the fight.

In all his recent training camp photo's, he looks his usual form. But who knows, he spent alot of time on that 'world' press tour in 4 different countries then was hobnobbing at the movie awards show.

It's official GGG fooling the public and ducked Andre Ward. He's a scared scrub who fight light middleweights to act like some boogeyman.

How does 176 turn to 190?

Obviously I was exaggerating. Martinez was known to start camps heavy (over 180 pounds) though.

Which was also false.

Martinez came to the ring at 170 lbs like Golovkin does.

How can you be small for a weight when you are coming to the ring 10 lbs heavier?

I'm not saying he wasn't a middleweight. I'm saying the perception at the time was he wasn't a big middleweight, being that he came up from 154.

#LetMeGuess GGG is extra husky

I never understood the notion that GGG was a "small" MW. He always looked bigger than most of his opponents. Not saying he's a big MW like Chavez Jr was but I think he's a true 160 pounder. That being said, I don't think he has to move up to 168 like some ppl are suggesting but I don't think he would be greatly outsized in that division either

I don't think anyone thinks he's a small middleweight. Most people say he's perfect at middleweight and usually I hear stuff like he would be a bit small for Super Middleweight.

And that perception was wrong.

Neither Martinez or Golovkin are small MW's.

GGG 172? Jeez Move up to 175 and fight kovalev you coward.

[El Angel]

Small MW right?

Nah, people say he's a small Middleweight.
