Lol...

Ward turned professional back in 2004. Golovkin, 2006. Ward barely moved up in weight class to 175

Ward is in his 3rd weight class.

Not bad...It would be a huge event. My hope was for Jacobs, but he clearly has no interest and I'm not sure if he ever will.

I dont think GGG is interested either or ever will be.

True. Andre Ward fought 6 fights at 160 pounds against no-pulse opponents.

He was also a light heavyweight as an amateur.

Wow. Such a big step up.



It'd be a different story if they were top ranked contenders or title fights. He fought at that weight class because he could make weight at his very young age.

Eubie has the courage to fight GGG which is great. screw Billy Joe and big ears Jacobs and all the other wimps. Give Eubank credit for being a man.

Gigi's wimp as.s is still ducking Lara.

Crawford? Really? His first professional fight he came in on the scales at 137 pounds, at the age of 21. He was always destined to grow into a 140 lber, but could make lightweight also because he's young.

You're really trying hard here to make GGG look bad, but the way you're going about it fails once you have clarity of the background behind each fighter



Continue to belittle the current middleweight division, but lets not pretend like super middleweight during Ward's era was so amazing and outclasses this middleweight era .

Froch and Kessler trump anything GGG has done. Dawson trumps anything GGG has done. Abraham arguably trumps anything GGG has done. Wasn't even going there with my argument. But that one isn't a fight you're gonna win.

oh ok so he has moved up weight.... so why did your previous comment made it seem as if he didnt?

Also can you name the reason why he fought at light heavy in the ams?

LMFAO that's gold

Hopkins is a freak that was able to fight at a high level into his 50s. Therefore waiting until he was 40 for smaller guys to come up worked out for him. He's not the norm.

Ward moved up when nothing was shaking at 68. Just like nothing is shaking at 60 now.

Rigo IS what GGG claimed to be. That's feared. The double standards are mind blowing. Frampton vacated a belt, with Rigo as his mandatory. Much like the Canelo-GGG situation. Yet nobody on a supposed site full of hardcore fight fans have **** to say about it.

As for what defines greatness. The mass majority's of non-heavyweight ATGs have won titles in multiple divisions, or at least tried. There are exceptions like Monzon and Hagler. But boxing history supports my argument. Especially in the modern era where there are so many divisions and so many titles in each. Belts aren't as important because there's so many. And there's so many divisions, and they're so watered down, dominating a single divsion for an extended period of time doesn't mean ****. Its about names on your resume. And so far, GGG has none. And staying at 60, he won't get any.

Like you say, there are so many divisions, and they are so watered down, with 4 titles up for grabs, and weak paper champions to cherry pick ... moving up is what doesn't mean shit anymore.

Just remind me, how many unified, undisputed champions do we have in the sport today?
