Broner can move up *two* weight classes but Bum-love-kin can't move up one?!?

[jai mari078]

Bernard Hopkins took 10 years to move up because Hopkins was considered a nobody for 10 years and no quality fighter wanted to fight him. He wasn't heavily hyped like Golovkin and didn't have HBO announcers acting like giddy school girls after every punch he threw at the tomato cans that he fought.

Marvin Hagler was considered a mediocre nobody for 90 percent of his career. He was only held in high regard for his last 10-12 fights, so there was no reason for him to move up either.

Floyd Mayweather beat four CURRENT world champions in three weight classes before he appeared in his first PPV.

GGG beats up on glorified sparring partners and thinks that should get him in a PPV. Like GGG, Cotto and Alvarez can make the same amount of money fighting tomato cans or third rate fighters as they can fighting a quality opponent. That is what they will continue to do after they fight each other. GGG will NEVER appear in a PPV fight because he is not PPV material.

Call me a hater if you want, but everything I have said is true or will become truth in the next few years.

Actually get your facts straight, Hagler was a monster that nobody wanted to fight until Duran stepped up and agreed to fight him.

Much like GGG, it's not his fault he can't get anyone to fight him. He has to stay busy. Canelo looks to wanna fight him in the future. I don't think Cotto wants anything to do with him, but those are the 2 money fights.

Quillin wants no part of GGG,not to mention Haymon doesn't want Quillin anywhere near GGG. it's not his fault he can't get dudes to fight him. Quit hatin on the dude just cause you wanna see him lose.

This is a really ******ed comment since you and other haters on this site only want Mayweather to fight GGG so you can see Mayweather lose.

Go back and show when have I ever called for Mayweather to fight GGG. Don't worry I'll wait. Get your facts straight homie before you post inaccurate ****!!!!

Go back and look for when I ever said that. Like I said I'll wait.........

Wait for what? Your comment was ******ed. That's a fact

Broner is a LMW who can water drain himself by 20 pounds and beat up little guys.

[Jim Jeffries]

Don't worry after GGG collects Cotto's lineal MW strap and Mayweather's lineal JMW strap, he'll be happy to fight Ward for his lineal SMW strap. The larger, more experienced and more talented Ward might be a bridge too far. We'll see.

Oh so it's only a CRIME when Mayweather chases the MONEY fights and flaunts his cash.

Mayweather doesnt chase money fights or he wouldve fought pacquiao in 2009. He created this villian that every1 wants to see lose, so he fights beatable opponents for a very good amount of money. Like Roger said before the Robert ATG Guerrero fight; "we are robbing the bank". Alot of fighters didnt belong in the ring with him but the media brainwashes people easy. victo ortiz was a quitter who ppl forgot about it because he beat overrated berto, get real. marcos maidana really??? just because he exposed a hypejob?

There was never a reason for Andre Ward to move up before 2015.

Nobody was clamoring for Ward vs. Pascal/Bute

Ward even fought the best at 175, albeit it was at 168. In the form of Chad Dawson. But of course his accomplishments gets ridiculed by excuse making douchebags that claim Dawson was so drained. GGG's victory over Monroe earned more respect from some. SMH

HBO finally created enough HYPE for Kovalev that now it makes sense for Ward to move up to 175.

Meanwhile GGG is openly avoiding a clash with the consensus 2nd best boxer in the world at 168.

Ward is GGG's signature opponent. Period. So many greats from the past never had a signature opponent to define their greatness.

GGG would rather challenge former Jr Welterweights like Cotto. That says a lot about this man's character.

He knows WARD will bust his ass. Period.

^This right here...

[Nay_Sayer]

GGG is looking like a HYPED UP PUNK right now. Running scared of SOG! He's fully aware of what SOG has done to TEAM EUROPE (Abraham/Froch/Kessler). They all got OWNED. GGG knows he would get spanked as well.

Which is exactly why K2 will keep feeding the Triple Duck TOMATO CAN after TOMATO CAN with that HBO money...

[Nay_Sayer]

the jump from 160 to 168 is one of the hardest jumps in boxing for whatever reason.

Not harder than the jump from 160 to 175...

[malcolm]

and you would lose your bottom dollar because ggg in a ppv fight is inevitable.

whether its cotto or canelo
who could broner do a ppv with?

you heard the crowd at the forum chanting ggg.

broner doesn't even get that kind of love when he fights in cincy.


Benard Hopkins took 10 years too move up. after he beat 15 tomato cans, 3 good fighters and 2 welterweights.

marvin hagler never moved up.


were they scared too seek challenges?

my friend, you are just a hater

Can't compare Hagler and GGG. Sorry. No further explanation needed.

Bernard did sit at Middleweight for a very long time. He also received a lot of criticism and didn't get the true respect he deserved until his later years. He had to beat the blown up Welterweights before they gave him his respect.

GGG on the other hand already has the respect Hopkins sadly never had until he beat Tito Trinidad.

GGG is hyped like he's really done something already. Andre Dirrel is more proven than GGG. And look at his stock.

Double standards do exist.
