    People are still comparing GGG moving up from 160 by adding flab at age 34 to other fighters moving up at age 17 from flyweight.

    The copout will be "amateur doesn't count" like he can control the dimensions of his skeleton.

    It's all a moot point anyway because weight division hopping is SISSY **** and the reason we never have unified champions.

    If you're in a tough spot just jump to another division and KO some vulnerable opponent then sit on their belt saying you aren't fighting in that division "full time". People idolize that. They're easily conned.

      139, 147, 156 & 165?

      I don't think this sorta thing is uncommon. What is uncommon is GGG being within 3 or 4lbs or so in all his pro fights over a decade plus.

        I'm sure those other fighters I referred to could have beaten some champions in their division as 18 or 20 year olds, especially in the lower divisions, where many Asian fighters become champs.

          So he has not really been in one weight class all his boxing career. Just pointing it out for those who do not know.
          In that case Mayweather fought at ten weight classes, lmao!

          You're a joke man.

              Yeah for the reason he stated. If you're gonna move up to fight paper champion for example. See Canelo vs Cotto or even worse look at Broner.
