Another myth: Mayweather moving up five divisions while GGG not willing to moveup one

[Razcal26]

This thread is embarrassing.

The OP needs to sit down and evaluate himself cos this is the height of ******ity.

I think it's funny when people talk the small MW **** with GGG...If you wanna see a small MW look at every guy he has fought...All noticeable smaller in stature.... Look at Lemiuex right there and tell me which one is the small MW....GGG is huge at MW...People think "oh no he's not, he's no bigger than Jones or Hopkins was" all guys who have moved up several weight classes....

Bottom line is he should move up ...not for any opponent but to be a two weight world champion...That means more to me than the alphabet titles

This is simply not true.
Golovkin vs Lemieux:
30 days: DL = 175, GGG = 165.
Rehydrate: DL 169, GGG 167

Vs Monroe: GGG 170, Monroe 172
Vs. Rubio GGG 167 Rubio 173

I've never heard anyone say Floyd moved up five divisions. What are you even talking about?

2) When Golovkin was 19 years old, he was fighting in the amateurs as a welterweight. He turned pro very late, at 24 years old. If we make the same comparison, he grown up two divisions.

147->154 = 1 move
154->160 = 2 move

So he has moved up two times. I think that sometime in the future he will move up for a few fights at 168, like Mayweather did at 154.

The amateurs don't count for weight divisions in the pros. Floyd won the Golden Gloves National Championship at light-flyweight and flyweight, and won an Olympic bronze medal at featherweight. Nobody includes that when they talk about Floyd moving up divisions.

and 5) You don't need to move up to prove you're great. Andre Ward can stay at 168 and I'll never criticize him for that. There's no need to criticize a fighter just because of jealousy. Ward had his moment in 2011-2012. Golovkin is having his moment now, let the guy be. He is beating anyone, winning all rounds, and KOing everyone.

Many of the greatest fighters of all time moved up and won titles in numerous weight classes. SRR, SRL, Whitaker, Armstrong, Duran, Hearns, and RJJ, just to name a few.

6) If moving up in weight is what makes you great, then Pacquiao (moved up seven times) and DLH (moved up five times) are greater than Mayweather.

7) There's a pattern in 99% of his fights. He's the taller guy or the guy with more reach. He never fights being outsized. Being outsized is one of the risks of boxing, but he never takes that risk. He only did it a few times in all his career. He CAN make 160, but he knows it means losing the size advantage. Other fighters with less height than him, such as Cotto or Duran, have fought in the 160 division.

Size isn't just about height or reach.

You are delusional... How much fat does GGG have on his body opposed to theses guys? Stop lying to yourself and look at the guy's shoulders..he's huge...Just watch the videos of him beside Sullivan Barrera on youtube..

I'm sorry, did you just call me delusional after ignoring the facts and telling me to go look on youtube?

He rehydrates below the SMW limit. Why the bloody hell are you trying to argue?

classic fail thread. And no you didn't 'debunk' the size myth. Someone showed you pictures of him being outweighed by 10-15 lbs and you called it BS because it wasn't what you wanted to see.

He's been owned in so many of his own threads, it's embarrassing.
