    Why did GGG agree to fight Rosado at a 157 lb catchweight?

    BIG BEAR, CA - WBA/IBO Middleweight World Champion Gennady “GGG” Golovkin is in the snow covered mountains of Big Bear, California preparing to defend his title


    For this fight Gennady agreed to come down from the middleweight limit to accommodate Rosado at a catch weight” said Tom Loeffler, Managing Director of K2 Promotions, “This is unheard for a champion, that’s how much respect Gennady has for Gabriel.”Continued Sanchez.

    And this is why I don't respect he or his team.

    Golovkin has no nuts.

    He'll fight light punching Mayweather at 154 whose only hope to win is to outpoint GGG while dancing around the ring or he'll fight the massively underdog Rosado at a 157 lb catchweight, but won't fight Canelo at 155 because it's too risky.

    He'll fight Chavez Jr and Thomas O at 168, but won't fight Ward.

    He'll fight a Haymon fighter in Wade, but won't fight Jacobs or Lara.

    He wants it his way or no way. He doesn't bring PPV money. He doesn't have a massive audience. He doesn't want to make any sacrifices. He doesn't want to do anything but cry all day about who won't fight him

    Many of his fans defending these inconsistencies is sad.

      Rosado was such a G for turning down that catchweight. He showed a lot of heart in the ring as well.

        So you don't respect Golovkin for agreeing to do something Ward didn't agree to do, huh?

              Fight was like 4 years ago, who cares?

              But I think it was a fair deal to Rosado who honestly had no chance of winning to even out the odds during a time GGG just needed an opponent.

                Ward fought at 160 once upon a time. He should fight at 160 again if he wants Golovkin.
