Golovkin weight

[SilverMiles]

People should keep it real they only want GGG to move up so he can get farther away from their favorite fighters.

They know he destroyS Floyd, Cotto, and Canelo and each fan base of those fighters are hoping he moves far away.

Face it GGG is the man at middleweight and if Floyd had the heart to fight him at Junior Middleweight, he'll rule that division too.

Golovkin 173 fight night vs Rubio
Ward 176 fight night vs Dawson

GGG=170 vs Monroe/Murray

Ward=185-190 vs Rodríguez/Froch/Abraham

Lara/other big LM=170

Again man amateurs is same day weighing. And that goes for GGG, Ward, or Bradley. None of them are very big for their weight class

right, in the amateurs you get weighed like every day. They don't do the whole 24-hour before the fight weigh in. You gotta be on point at all times. That's why the weight classes are a little weird. Middleweight = 165. Light heavyweight = 178. Etc.

That's where you're wrong. Floyd doesn't have to fight at 154 if he doesn't want to and if he does he certainly doesn't have to fight Golovkin who's never fought there. Floyd just beat Pacquiao, rather easily, and beat everyone else from 147-154 worth a damn. He's proved all there is to prove. Let it go.

No it pertains as comparing the weight rise at a certain age as that is what i was replying to

Alright well what does it matter that other people's opinion was Manny was the smaller man?

For what reason does everything even come back to Floyd for? NSB just like to attack other's opinions.

If you wanna go by the numbers then Manny its possible Manny was bigger than Floyd. Floyd has weighed 151 on fight night before but on May-Pac he didn't disclose his fight night weight. Manny was 152 on fight night.

But as for Golovkin, what actual reason is there for him to move up in weight? By the numbers, there aren't that many Middleweights or Light Middleweights in history that have moved up to be successful champions. Whereas there are many multi weight fighters who start from the low 130s and 120s. That's just the way the human body is.

People keep asking Golovkin to move up to prove something and he's trying to prove his worth at Middleweight. Maybe it won't be this ATG fighter than SOME people big him up to be, but why does that matter to you?

Andre Ward was 165 in his debut at 20 years old and fought at Light Heavyweight in the Amateurs. Why doesn't he move up? It's arbitrary to try and use other fighter's careers as a checklist for other fighters.

Mayweather fighting Golovkin is like Golovkin fighting Kovalev.

Mayweather fighting Golovkin is like Golovkin fighting Kovalev.

If Golovkin had the lineal belt at 168 but campaigned mostly at 160 then yeah.

You don't need to move weight classes to be considered a great boxer.

More so now a days when weight classes are closer together. SMW wasn't even a division until a year after hagler retired.
