    A tiny MW who's been able to physically impose himself on every MW he's fought....>DO you really believe the ***** you type?

      Don't care much for this fight. Disappointing year for Golovkin and the MW division.

          poster isn't saying he's tiny. where are you reading that? or are you making it up? [called a straw man]


          golovkin isn't a big middleweight. he's been a middleweight for 10 years now, and he's fully grown. makes the weight easily. he weighs around 170 on fight night "unofficially," which basically means in street clothes. canelo, weighing in at 155 the day prior, still weighs more than golovkin on fight night. is canelo a tiny middleweight, too?

            Hey was 172 on his last fight night weight. He fought at 165 in the Olympics, so he's unable to now move up 3 lbs to make bigger fights from how many years ago? And why do you think that is?

              Yet he was stronger and able to push Murray around who's supposed to be a huge MW. Last time I checked Martinez was what a small MW looked like. Go look at both Murray fights and tell me GGG is a small MW.

              GGG maintains. He works out year round. That is the only reason his weight stays so low. His 170 is like 95% muscle.

              And Yes, Canelo is absolute tiny for a Middleweight. Weight can be misleading. Pavlik weighed in at 174 Vs Hopkins. Do you think Canelo is anywhere near the same size as Pavlik because they both weigh 175ish fight night? Or don't you see that Canelo's weight is Water/Food/Fat while Pavlik's Bone/Muscle.

              Same applies for GGG. Go watch Murray/Groves gloves are off and see how much thicker Murrays arms/shoulders/necks is than Groves, who is a pretty big SMW. Then watch the GGG fight and see Murray seem the thinner/taller guy, while GGG's shoulders/back is massive.

              I don't think GGG is a bad fighter. I think he's really good. But I rate him like Wlad, a good champ in a terrible division. Difference is Wlad didn't have a weight class to move up into and prove himself further. GGG does.

                171, not 172. STFU, canelo is 175 and you don't expect him to face kovalev/ward, do you?

                  If g string makes 160 so easily why didn't he take Canelo up on 156 and get that huge payday?

                      Okay so he's not a big MW. What is he then? A small one? An Ordinary size one?

                      You guys are pathetic, I clearly use a word to mock you and you go and get up in arms and try grasp a tiny grain of valid argument because there is none when it comes to defending 34 year old GGG's resume and lack of ambition to improve it.
