Khan Beats Golovkin Easier Than Canelo @155 Because..

[FlatLine]

Golovkin would be weight-drained at 155 and he wouldn't be the same fighter. He'll have less power, less punch resistance, less mobility, less accuracy... he'll just be a lesser fighter than he is now all around. Look what happened to Dawson when he moved down from 175 to fight light-hitter Ward at 168. He got dropped several times and quit, and was never the same fighter since then. First person Ward had dropped and stopped for years!

Weight-draining does that. Canelo, on the other hand, is now fighting at his optimum weight, and of course he himself fell victim to weight-draining when he was forced to fight Floyd at 152. Against Khan, he's fighting at his ideal weight. Golovkin at 155 is like Dawson at 168, Khan would do to Golovkin what Ward did to Dawson at that weight.

But at 160 it's a whole different story of course.

Khans been beaten up by every top fighter he's faced. He doesn't have 1 victory against a top fighter in his entire career.

I need to watch the Pac vs De La Hoya weigh in to see if such theories hold water.

"As an amateur, he scored notable wins over two-time Olympic gold medalist Mario Kindelán and future world champion Victor Ortiz. As a professional, Khan holds notable wins over nine world champions, including Andreas Kotelnik, Marcos Maidana, Julio Díaz, Luis Collazo, Chris Algieri, Paulie Malignaggi, Devon Alexander, Marco Antonio Barrera, and Zab Judah."

Who cares about amateur boxing. And out of all those fighters you named not one of them were top fighters at the time.

Who gives a **** about the amateurs?

Maidana: Lost every time stepped up.

Diaz: Ancient.

Collazo: Ancient, and recovering alcoholic.

Algieri: Lost every round to Pacquiao.

Alexander: Already lost to Bradley and Porter, and got gifts over Kotelnik and Matthysse. Alexander has looked bad every time he's stepped up.

Judah: Past prime.

Barrera: Ancient.

Malignaggi: Lost every time he stepped up.

GGG moving down to 155 to fight Khan would be asinine. And if GGG wasn't weight drained, Khan would have to run, and I don't mean back pedal, I mean literally turn his back to GGG and run around the ring as fast as he could just to survive at all.

neither one of them wins against GGG. Stop dreaming and the metal wankery

That's probably why GGG said if we fight, we are fighting at 160.
