Why does GGG have to move up this early?

[Bozbay]

He could unify 160, face the winner of Cotto vs Canelo which COULD transcend him into a super star before moving up to 168 and fighting Ward. Why would he move up for a weaker fight, publicity and money wise, to then come back down to 160? Makes no sense. Some fans don't give fighters enough time to prove and build themselves.

[The Hammer]

Yet the same people say Princess Ward doesn't need to move up to 175 until she feels like it.

[BazookaGomez]

Because we can call him hypejob then.

[Jake ChillenYal]

once ward moves up to 175 hes prob never coming back down...since all of his business would be finished there

if ggg were to fight ward now...or in oct.....hed still prob have a year to come back down to 160 for canelo.....if cotto wins hes not fighting ggg...canelo might...but canelo prob wouldnt come right back with ggg after cotto....so ur looking at oct/nov of next year for ggg/canelo match....that gives ggg almos a year to get back to 160...more than enough time

Such ridiculous logic, it doesn't work like that man....

[Robbie Barrett]

Make the same thread but word the title differently. Well done.

He's 33 years old with like 30 pro-fights... Why hasn't he proven himself is the problem. Not that he hasn't, he had more than enough time to prove himself already.

Need help? Look what Floyd, Manny and Cotto had accomplished when they were 33 years old. Now look at GGG.

Stop making excuses for a guy fighting bums and saying "he needs to prove himself." What better way to prove yourself than beating the undefeated 168 pound king? Oh that's right, let's beat up on 4 loss Cotto and hype-job Canelo, that's proving himself. Fighting smaller men, wow, what an accomplishment. He's done that his entire career at MW beat up on smaller guys, it's embarrassing.

[Fetta]

The man is 33/34 years old. Early is long gone.

But im happy with Lemiux

Canelo cotto winner has to fight GGG next or else they give up the belt. The language will be very strong and clear in the step aside agreement. It would not happen in October or November. It would happen in the first half of the year. However, I agree that cotto wants nothing to do with GGG
