This is all the rest of us want you GGG fans to admit. You don't want him to risk getting beat, so you want him to stay in a weight class with no risk.
Which means you have no confidence in him as a fighter if you don't believe he can truly be the best. You're satisfied with him being the best "for now". LOL

GGG is at his perfect weight class, and he's 34 for God's sake. He's already a small MW, and doesn't have anymore room to grow. He's a monster at MW, so isn't it on the other MW contenders to try and beat him, or solve the puzzle?
It's nothing more than Floyd fighting at his natural and correct weight of 147. If you really want Gennady to do what Floyd did, then OK, have him fight a past his prime fighter at 168 with a big name (how about a Kessler or a Froch), then fight an up and comer with a relatively big name, that's already having a hard time making the weight, then making him squeeze down another 2 lbs.
If that's what you really want him to do.
And again, you can't use Floyd and Manny as examples for GGG to follow. He doesn't have their same fighting style, and his style isn't as conducive to being as successful at a weight in which he shouldn't be fighting at in the first place. He's the seek and destroy fighter. Like I said before, it's up to the other top MWs to actually fight him, and try to beat him. He's the man at 160, let him continue to be the man. Why does he have to move up?
It's easier for guys like Floyd, and Manny to move up, because they're agile and movers. Those types of boxers/fighters have an advantage at the same time that they're being outweighed, because they're naturally quicker and cat like in their movements.

I'm fine with Golovkin staying at 160 just like in fine with Canelo fighting wherever he's comfortable, but when fans start heaping undeserved praise for fights a guy won't take (like the idiots who pretend Ward ducked Golovkin), that's where I call them out on their fanboy nonsense.

When the hell's the last time GGG made his opponent look smaller. If anything, a lot of the MWs are bigger than him.
The guy is an exact MW. No more, no less. If he moves up, he's always gonna be the smaller man, and with his style, it's not as easy to be successful as he moves up. Guys like Floyd and Pacquiao can move up and be successful agaisnt bigger guys, because of their style of fighting, and their movement, and speed.
GGG is a pressure fighter that isn't great off his backfoot like most fleet footed, slick counter punchers. Use common sense.

What makes the majority of Golovkin fans so obnoxious is not that they don't want him talking chances, it's that they give him credit for those fights he won't take. When challenging fights are proposed, the fans are dismissive, even when it's a smaller guy like Lara who is talking all the risk.

GGG haters are the worst, but at the same time, I agree with YOUR post, not his. I don't like his fans that go overboard with their GGG fandom.
