GGG became Pro as 24 years old if I recall. If you turn Pro at 18 then of course you have two or there extra weight classes.

Ok so what at 24 Floyd was at 135

at 24 Manny was a featherweight

at 24 roy jones was a middleweight


whats your point?

Canelo was 15 when he turned pro and fought men. When gg was getting outboxed by direll, canelo was dominating older men.

I think mayweather turned pro at 19? Does that make Canelo better than him?

What I'm saying is that canelo turned pro at 135 and now he is at 155.

Floyd fought at 106 as a 16 year old and moved all the way to 154 to win a title.

RJJ fought at 119 as a 15 year old and went all the way to HW.

Manny fought at 105 as a 16 year old and moved all the way to 150 to win a title.

Guys naturally grow as they get older.

Damn, RJJ ended around 80 pounds more than he started with.

Exactly..whats the point of this thread?

Information about Golovkin I discovered.

Cool. Golovkin was 63.5 kg at 18 years old when he won Junior World Championships.

Well there's nothing wrong with fighting in 1 division. GGG is best suited to fighting at middleweight, with a few fights either below 160lb limit or at super middleweight for big money fights, the same thing other fighters do, like Floyd at 154.

In reality, Gennady moving up to beat an undefeated Ramirez or Froch or whatever would be a big achievement. Beating Ward at 168 (at the time) would be an absolutely huge win. The fact posters on here have twisted it into a 'duck', trying to argue (with a straight face) that the Ward fight was mandatory for him, is overrating Golovkin to the extreme. Its almost the ultimate irony

I'd like not to think so although RJJ was before my time.
