    Because, as I said, he's almost the same weight as his MW opponents on fight night. 2-5lbs. And, much of that is having less bodyfat than guys like Lemieux, Rubio, Geale, etc. That means he's not small for his division. Why bring up his 30 day when he's weighed 173 on fight night?
    But that 'almost' is exactly what makes him small. 2-5lbs is the difference between average and small (or a MW and a Caneloweight..). As for bodyfat, that's arguable. Neither Lemieux nor Geale came into their fights fat. As for the 173 that you mention, I'm pretty sure that was against Rubio who came in overweight and weighted over 180 on fight night.

    Golovkin has been called a 'small MW' ever since he appeared on HBO in 2012. You can argue that he's average, or natural MW. Trying to say he's a big MW, which some people do, is plain false.

      Let's agree to disagree about him being small. I think he's pretty much an ideal MW.

        GGG is shaking in his boots at the thought of 168, no way he goes to 175, not in a million years

          Kovalev-Golovkin would be the fight to see. Man, bombs away!

            He doesn't need to go up to 175. I do want him to go 168 and beat Ramirez and degale than try 175. I don't want him killing everyone at 160 for the rest off his career. I don't want to think what if when his career is over.
