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

Can ya'll PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! stop ****ing babysitting GGG..PLEASE!!!! damn BELIEVE IN THE DAMN MAN...IT'S ****ING EMBARRASSING.

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?

Opening thread said nothing about GGG.

Froch wasn't retired when called out.

He's man not monster. His only obligation is to fight top ten fighters in his division atleast twice a year.

Who's to say when that happens though? When someone grows out of a division does that mean that they can no longer make the lower weight at all? I look at someone like Ricky Burns who used to say how difficult it was for him to make lightweight, so then he moves up, has a couple of fights including the Figueroa fight and now he fights at lightweight this weekend.

Weight for me is so strange. It depends on the fighter. It depends on the opponent. It depends on the payday. So many different factors are involved imo.

And Manny did not out grow 135,he jumped up to 147 and dared to be great

Floyd did not outgrown 140 he jumped up to 147 and 154 and dared to be great

Floyd can't make 140 anymore. He grew out the division.

Manny can't make 135 anymore he grew out the division.

But it's funny in one breathe you discredit Manny win over Oscar because he was supposedly weight drained but in the same breath say he dared to be great fighting the weight drained opponent.

Which one is it?

But back to the topic at hand.

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.

Maybe because that other guy walks near 190.

This.

The funny thing is these guys know most SMW don't walk around 170, hell most MW don't either but constantly bring up the walk around weight.

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.

He hasnt done the last thing.

Now you're pulling things out of your ass.

Most MW don't even rehydrate to 170 let alone walk around at that weight, doesn't Quillen rehydrate to like 180?

Now you're pulling things out of your ass.

If he's struggling to make 168 it's obvious he walks around in the 180s at least. I'd guess 185.
