Would a 168 pound GGG even be in his absolute peak, prime?

    Ward fights circles around g string who looks lost trying to find a moving target. Ward 117-111 in a fairly one sided fight. After battering one second rate fighter after another it's easy to see g string was not ready for a fighter of Wards level.

      Are you saying all wins against certain fighters should be discredited if they moved up in weight? Does that mean no one would have gotten credit for beating Mayweather after he moved up from 130, his best weight?

        Ward could not fight circles around Paul Smith, let alone GGG. Get real, Ward forgot how to box... that is the sole reason why he faked injury against Brand. He got scared he might get KTFO since he had not enough time to prepare...

          Golovkin still has 3 or 4 prime years left in him.

          He's only been a pro for 9 years and it's not like he's taken any damage.

          I bet he fights the Abraham/Ramirez winner.

            130 is Mayweather's best weight now? Because he sure looked awfully mediocre against Jesus Chavez. Truth is Floyd was having difficulty making weight by then and needed to move up. He had outgrown 130. It's only his fanboys who think Floyd could still easily make 130 if he wanted to. Who conveniently ignore him missing weight against Marquez or dragging Pac back up to 147.

              I can see GGG losing unexpectedly at some point because he becomes old overnight when he's yet to truly break out on an epic level, lol.

                GGG isn't some face first bum. He has some boxing ability. I don't see much drop off at 168.

                  Yes, many informed observers agree that 130 was Floyd's best weight and that he may have been the division's best fighter ever.

                      Almost every fighter move up or down to where the biggest fights are GGG corner talk about how he is the best boxer 154-168 but set up camp in 160 fighting tomato cans.

                      Let's see him walk the walk and move up or down
