They're both picking and choosing. Neither have the pull to call the shots when facing a top bill. Both failed to get their Chavez Jr matchup, because neither are "A side".
GGG said that when he first came to the US and before he had even had one fight. It was a statement to get some publicity and interest going in a fighter new to the US boxing scene. Later on, that statement was amended to state that he would move to another division only for a PPV fight.
Why 166? 164 is directly between 160 and 168 and as there would be no titles on the line, it would make perfect sense.
I have never heard him say he'd fight anyone between 154 to 168 unless it was closely followed or preceded by "big PPV fight"
They can move up for Froch and Chavez but not Ward
They can drain Ward to 164 but will not go down to 154 for anyone but Floyd
He can beat everybody from 154-168......but won't fight them
Let's cut the BS. Team Golovkin has a sweet deal with HBO where they can fight Willie Monroe level opponents and cash in. When you have that kind of deal, what's the incentive to even challenge yourself? You can maintain the excuse that everybody is ducking and keep the money flowing in.
chavez froch and mayweather brought substantial purses which made the moves up or down worth the risk
