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

[Luilun]

Say what you will about Adrian Broner but he had the gonads to move up from 135 to 147 and fight arguably the second or third biggest puncher @ welter. Meanwhile, the Triple Duck is content knocking over TOMATO CANs @ 160 and refuses to seek bigger challenges. I'd bet my bottom dollar that Broner headlines a PPV card before Bum-love-kin does.

Broner > Triple Duck

Broner was weighing like 150 to 155 at fight time when he was a light weight meaning he was sucking down to fight little guys Glookin can do the same suck down to 154 to clobber on smaller dudes

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.

so because hagler and Hopkins weren't popular, they didn't have too move up?
but ggg has too move up because he is popular?

bull**** excuse.

bottom line, Hopkins middleweight run is basically the same as golovkins if he gets cotto and canelo, as Hopkins got tito and Oscar.

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?

so Oscar,hatton,mosley,cotto,canelo,marquez,pacquiao were't money fights?

you named the only 3 fighters that weren't money fights. and Ortiz still turned into a money fight cause it did 1.2. million buys.

and if he fought pacquiao in 2009, he wouldn't have made 120 million in 36 mins.

bottom line every great fighter has had too make fights against guys who weren't on their level.


pacquiao-rios,diaz,algieri

just for example

Broner is 5'7 he could fight at 154

Broner wasn't the only guy in his weight class sucking down in weight.

At least he had the balls to move up into more competitive divisions...unlike ggg.

If you have to ask this question then you're already opposing the obvious truth. Two very different situations.

And what's the criteria for threads that stay and go here? the other day bushbaby had his thread deleted asking how "Golovkin" fares against Canelo, Cotto, and Floyd, but this agenda laden thread is going well and good...

that was my first thought regarding this thread.

[Da Boxer]

golovkin is small framed for 160 already lol
his pro career started late, so he already "moved up in weight" in his amateurs

The Myth that broner "MOVED UP 2 WEIGHT CLASSES" exposed. Broner was fighting midget bums half his size in jason litzau,eloy perez, gavin rees. Broner moving up in weight and fighting guys like paulie,maidana is just an illusion when the REALITY is he was finally actually fighting guys HIS OWN SIZE.
