Why Shouldnt ggg move up in weight???

[therealpugilist]

Because he wants to clean out 160 then 147 then 154

^^^^^^this

[-MEGA-]

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.

I think a direll, jack or degale fight would be his biggest fight to date. You wouldn't agree? Or does it have to be a "mega fight" now?

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.

I cant think of any one...GGG is making history....he will become the first disputed UNDISPUTED champion

first unified champion who didnt fight for the belts and actually unify


he is making history...."any can, Can get it !!!!!"

[SUBZER0ED]

Well, since the bitches in his division piss their pants at the thought of fighting him, I guess he'll have to move up soon.

I'd like to see him in vs the winner....jack has improved a lot and worked his tail off...he also can box outside and stand his ground.....GGG hasnt fought many versatile opponents like Degale and Jack

there's chavez, i guess, but ohterwise there are no ppv fights at 168 lbs if froch doesn't come back. maybe one f those guys will distance himself from the others, but for now there's a pack of guys who would just be another championship boxing opponent, and golovkin woulnd't have the leverage of being the guy who holds almost all of the belts.

maybe degale can become that guy,a nd bring in the uk money that will kick golovkin up a notch. that remains to be seen. i know chunk won a gold medal, but i really don't know how popular he is over there, and maybe a brit can chime in. he's certainly a good enough fighter.


there is a megafgiht, potentially,w ith the ward kovalev winner, but that's still another 7 lbs north of 168.



the biggest reason, obviously, is the tentative agreement with GBP to get a megafight with canelo, the biggest in boxing. you guys have to understand that hbo and showtime can only pay a certain amount if you don't get to ppv. call it the middle class. gl0vkin at 168 would still be in the "middle class!"

at MW he has the belts, the leverage, and yes, easier fights than he would at 168, where he'd still be favored to beat everybody, most likely, but the fights would be significant;y harder, and in which he might look a bit more human.



i'll also say this:

WTF man, the guy IS a middleweight. this ins't a 24 year old kid who broke into a lower weight class by cutting weight, and outgrew his weight classs. this is a 34 year old man.


shouldn't we expect him to want to try and get the biggest fight in boxing? shouldn't we expect him to remain a middleweight?

i don't think dirrell or jack would be PPV fights. maybe i am wrong. dirrell [andre] is a very talented kid, but he's had a very strange career. and jack is a fighter who proved me wrong by beating groves, but he's not an earner by any means. he's also, as far as i know, working with floyd maywetaher, which could turn into an issue.

[bojangles1987]

He's in his 30s, comfortable at 160, and there's no one left at 168 that is a big fight to move up for, especially compared to the wealth of talent at 154 that will likely hit 160 in the coming years.

I would still like to see him try at 168 at some point.

[MarshallDrum]

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

That poster Golovkin doesn't make sense lol

There is so much wrong with your post and its only one sentence. Who are names at 147? Who are names at 154?

Floyd's resume isn't weak compared to Golovkin's. But it is weak and is full of asterisks.

[lopetego]

GGG isl following the Hagler blueprint and there's nothing wrong with that

the top MWs just need to grow some balls
