Comments Thread For: 30-Day Weights: Golovkin 165 Lbs, Lemieux 175.8 Lbs

[Eastcoast]

Fight night he weighed 173 for Rubio.

Yep, his heaviest on record. What point are you reaching for?

Sept 2012 Golovkin's fight night weight vs Proksa was 168lbs, one week later Ward weighed 176lbs vs Dawson.

June 2013 Golovkin weighed 170lbs vs Macklin
Oct 2014 Golovkin weighed 173lbs vs Rubio
May 2015 Golovkin weighed 170lbs vs Monroe.


Ward, like Floyd, is afraid to release his fight night weights. He only has one on record for some reason, even though in his last two fights his opponents came in heavy and were required to reweigh on fight night, but he choose not too. Must be hiding something...

Manny moved up to fight oscar at a CATCH-WEIGHT of 145 and oscar was moving DOWN from 154, he wasn't RANKED at 147 nor made 147 since 8 years prior. Floyd fought cotto who WAS IN FACT ranked #1 at 154 and then fought the other guy ranked #1 at 154 in canelo at 152 that canelo asked for. One difference Floyd CAN'T make 154 and only goes there for BIG MONEY fights.

Lol at this alt. Pac Oscar was not 145 dumfcuk, it was 147. Canelo offered a CW in 2011, in 2013 he was saying must be 154, can't go lower. Cotto had a single top 10 win at 154, a one legged rabbi. Floyd has been holding a SWW belt for well over 3 years straight. You're a disgrace

that seems really low. i wonder if there's any truth that he was training for 154 lbs in order to entice mayweather into a fight. also, hopefully it means that he could potentially drop a few pounds healthily if that's what it takes to get alvarez or cotto in the ring

ggg is not a big MW. he's only 5'10 and not a huge frame.

he probably walks around 170.

at 20 he was a light mw in the ams. he hasn't gotten much bigger since then.

well middleweight is actually ~165 lbs in the ams, so light middle is probably 160-ish. i didn't even realise that there was a light middleweight in the ams

[FashionTV]

(years 2012/2013, fight nights from SHO/HBO stats)

james kirkland 174 lbs
carlos molina 170 lbs
saul alvarez 172 lbs
austin trout 171 lbs

the bottom line is lil g is not a true middleweight, but jr middleweight

[Eastcoast]

I wonder if the Golovkin haters would've jumped on Hagler for never moving up in weight and getting called out by Michael Spinks?

“I am here, Marvin,” Spinks taunted. “The Spinx Jinx is ready for you. Are you awesome, Marvin? Well so am I. Come to me”

GGG is in shape. I can't see any of these Middle Weights beating him. Maybe Quillin if he lands a hay maker early in the fight.

My bad it was at 147 he just came in 145, but you know damn well he hadn't made 147 for like 8 years and wasn't ranked at 147. As far as yuri NO EXCUSES, he got in there and LOST. As far as Canelo **** him and if you got a problem with it **** you, that mother****er OFFERED a 36 year old man a catch-weight when he couldn't make 154 and he said YES. As a Matter of fact he WON the belt at a catch-weight that he ALSO asked for. FOH prick.

[Bigg Rigg]

last Wards fight was at 172. why doesnt he gain 3 pounds and fight Kovalev?

Because SMW is stacked!!! If he goes up and beats Kovalev, then what does he do??? Stay in a division with nobody to fight??? He doesn't wanna go they that. Lol oh wait, he's going thru that right now.

[No Tomorrow]

GGG is an old school guy. His weight doesn't balloon up and down a lot. Listed at 5'10" (but looking at most only an inch taller than Canelo in photos), he's purely a middleweight.

That said, he probably could move up anyway and do very well.

5'10 is probably accurate. I've stood next to him for a couple of pictures and he looked almost my height (I'm 6'0 1/2" - I did a picture next to Bryant Jennings and he only looked maaaybe an inch taller than me and he's listed at 6'3" so that's all I can relay)
