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

    Several factual errors indeed...

    Broner fought Maidana at 147. He missed weight badly in his last farce at 130.

    Mikel Kessler was unquestionably a bigger win for Calzaghe than Lacy was.

    GGG has never even fought DEGALE.

    Other than that...perfect.
    1. I meant Geale.
    2. Broner busting weight at 130, still does not take away from the fact he won a title at 147 a year later.
    3. That's why I said ARGUABLE for Lacy being Calzaghe's most significant fight.

      If Broner could still make 135, you better believe he'd still be there padding his record with as many blown up featherweights as possible.

      Broner only looked dominant at 130 against midgets. He's looked average ever since. Well, not entirely true: PDL make him look like crap but Broner got a gift.

      Bad comparison.

      That said, GGG should move up in weight due to the lack of solid opponents.

        GGG is not a bum. He just hasn't had that career defining fight yet.

          Golovkin is in a weigh class where he doesnt have to cut alot of weigh AND he hasnt cleared it yet, hes missing cotto and canelo is hiding at 155. As soon as those PPV fights are done he will move up and fight froch, chavez jr and ward.
          Oh so it's only a CRIME when Mayweather chases the MONEY fights and flaunts his cash.

            Now GGG fighting someone Ward beat years ago is bigger than anything Ward has done??

            Ward has been calling GGG out for a long time now and Team GGG was the one saying they aren't ready. Make sure you point those facts out as well.

            Like I said before, Broner jumped two weight classes and won a world title in his third weight class. GGG still hasn't fought the best in his own weight class, much less 3 divisions NORTH.
            Ward was calling out while in court. A-siders dont do callouts anyway, they make offers, and Ward insisted he was the A-side. Might have been right then, probably not anymore.

            Froch is Ward's best win, right? Going up a division to fight Wards best win on his home turf is not risky? Hell Ward doesnt wanna concede homecourt to Froch despite not moving up a division, and already having beaten the guy.

            Broner, whatever. The only "top level" scalp he has is DeMarco, big whoop. Coulda easily had 3 losses, and his big step up in weight was vs feeble blown up, washed up Paulie.

              What if we ran that same fine tooth comb over GGG's past opponents? Starting with that BUM he ko'd last Saturday.

              Ward is A SIDE based on accomplishments and overall rank. Financially he's obviously not there yet.

              People want to clown him for fighting on B.E.T yet Bernard Hopkins fought on that station routinely back in the day and he's considered a Top 5 Middleweight of all time.

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

                  Broner was picking on smaller fighters until he waist-line burst to the point of no return. He had to move up, didn't have a choice.. then he moved back down when he was beaten up. Now he's inbetween divisions.

                      A side is less so about accomplishment and more about drawing power and momentum. So Ward's A-side opportunity vs GGG is slipping fast. Shoulda made an offer earlier.
