There's a difference between moving up and growing out a division.

What many people fail to realize is that there's a difference between moving up and growing out a division.

De La Hoya grew out of 147 to 154 he moved up from 154 to 160.

Manny grew out of 135 to 140. He moved up from 140 to 147.

Mayweather grew up from 140 to 147. He moved up from 147 to 154.

Fighters shouldn't get bonus points for growing up. And in reality most guys only move up willing one division. Even rarer is someone who moves up two division.

While it's cool to be a multi division champion that doesn't make it better than being undisputed champion in one division with many title defenses.

There's more than one road to greatness and it's time fans start accepting.

That doesn't explain why a guy who walks around at 170 refuses to face a guy at 168 and says he'll only face him at 164.

Doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things. Team GGG can say what they want.

As long as he continues to fight, rake in titles, and fight top opposition he'll be recognized as great.

Damn ya'll hang on his ****ing nutts like he is a damn monster,why are ya'll so afraid for him to fight at 168?? He literally is chasing a retired Froch to fight at 168 but ya'll do not want him to fight anyone prime there?? why?
