The myth Golovkin is a small MW

[DonairesRevenge]

Discredit any fighters weight who had an IBF title and could only add 10lbs. Golovkin is a small middleweight. Fighters rarely strip off for the HBO scales either.

Any idiot can see Jermain Taylor at his peak was a massive MW compared to GGG. Taylor was even big at 168.

You do know that rule has only been around a few years and most of those weights were before that? Golovkin is also the IBF champ.

[therealpugilist]

People keep saying he's a small MW which is untrue. As most of us know Golovkin weighs around 170/171. I'm going to post fight night weights of other MW's below to show you he isn't small at all.


Martinez - 165, 168
Proksa - 166
Zbik - 165
Taylor - 166, 169, 171
Lee - 167.5
Pavlik - 168, 171
Hopkins - 166, 168, 169
Wright - 168
Barker - 168
Jacobs - 170
Pirog - 170
Quillin - 170
Macklin - 172
Monroe - 172
Miranda - 173
Korobov - 173, 174

As you can see Golovkin isn't a small MW at all, so can we stop the nonsense.

Weights say different. Size is determined by weight in boxing not how someone looks. Fact is Golovkin isn't a small MW. Time to bury this pathetic claim.

Taylor was even able to drop back down to 160 again at an old age, shows how big he really was.

..and he recently won another title at 160....which shows how weak 160 is.

Had I told you Taylor would become MW champ again you would have laughed me out of town...

brook a so called welter weight, is cutting more weight than GGG to make middleweight. canelo who was 'too small' to fight at 160 and fights at caneloweight, cuts more weight than GGG if he was to go to 160. How can he be 165 30 days out and not be a small middleweight ffs

Same way Canelo weighed 163 30 days out and is bigger than Golovkin on fight night.
