Why Shouldnt ggg move up in weight???

[MarshallDrum]

Golovkin has said many times that he wants all the belts. He's still going to have another bout this year after the Brook fight, if I recall correctly. Since he is fighting in England, hopefully he gives one of those call outs to Saunders and makes that happen. This leaves 2017 available for any money fights at 160 there are left. Mainly Canelo, Jacobs. I see Golovkin moving up to 168, but not after the money has been made at 160.

[-MEGA-]

Because he is unifying the MW division and has one belt left to collect? When you are 3/4 you suddenly dont leave that weightclass, when you can make history. Specially when there is nobody at 168 worth going up for. IF there was a huge name he would do it, but there is nobody.

He is also close to break BHops record of MW championship defenses.

You're an absolute tard. No, he is not close to breaking Bhops record, unless you want to count interim belt defenses, then ok. That's on you. Second, what good is unifying the division when you win all your belts outside of the ring? He won what, one belt in the ring? Nobody at 168 worth going up for is your response. Yet Brook was worth fighting? Or how about nobody at 160 is worth fighting either cause they wont fight him.

you cant say nobody at 168 is worth fighting then try to pass off Brook and Wade as the reason to stay at 168. Hell he could fight the dirrel's, Degale and Jack (if theyd fight him) all of which are way better than anything hes doing at MW.

So you're happy he will have won all of his belts outside the ring and will be 38 when he finally steps up and accepts a challenge?

LOOK the plan is simple...

Gennady wants to clean out ALL THE DIVISIONS, as many as he can. The lowest he can go is 147 so he will take out the BEST at 147, thats what makes him great. What other fighter can go up and down and beat all the best at all divisions?!?! NO ONE. He will then clean out 154, 160 is already cleared and then he is going straight after Kovalev and retiring.

NAME ONE FIGHTER who has done what Gennady is doing, he has every division scared. SO HE IS GOING UP AND DOWN to fight the most dangerous at each weight. NAME ONE FIGHTER who has been so feared that they had to do this. NONE.

My happiness has literally nothing to do with this discussion. This is Golovkin's intent, as he has stated so numerous times. And this is my projection of what will happen in 2017. Its a hopeful one, because nobody knows if fighting in England will pressure Saunders into fighting him or not. But fighting three or four times a year, no matter if its a welter or a mandatory, is better than fighting once a year and ducking along the way.

Because he hasn't had the chance to clean up 160! Has GGG even fought a Top 5 Middleweight Yet?

Also, waiting for Canelo will be worth it instead of moving up to fight WHO at 168? Jack or DeGale? Those fights are not as big as or as financially rewarding as a Canelo fight!

I dont agree but, fair enough. If Brook gets killed in the ring would it matter then?

Give me some good reasons why ggg should not move up in weight to get the challenging fights he needs to propel his career.

he a small middleweight doe

he trying to unify 160 doe

is anyone happy about that? i doubt it... direct your anger towards the parties that leave their belt and run for the hills.

GGG should move up whenever but i only see him moving up when a notable fight comes up... that's just logic. Floyd moved up for big money fights, so did every other fighter, the move up for bigger and better fights, or if they outgrow a division... that's how the game is played, you can't just expect to change the standard for one fighter.

in an ideal world i would love to see GGG unify and then fight a unified champion at SMW after Jack and Degale unify their titles.

All the names are at 147-154, but Floyd's resume is weak compared to GGGs?

That poster Golovkin doesn't make sense lol
