Loeffler & Golovkin are asked if they'll do what Brook did and move up 2 weight cla

[HeroBando]

I agree that he had every right to demand 160. But I find it weird that they would take such a hard stance before negotiations even begun. Look at the Terence Crawford situation. That statement about 140 may have blown his chances at a Pacquiao fight. I think it's good to be show flexibility before negotiations even begin. I would've said something like 155 would be tough to make but i'm sure we can find a reasonable weight.

Crawford PAC were not mandated to negotiate. Neither guy was gonna get stripped or lose anything if it falls through. If it's a voluntary, and CW is the sticking point, sure offer something in advance. But even Hopkins didn't offer a CW to Oscar in advance, he got a big money offer for 158 and complained about it.

..because others are required to challenge themselves and take risks.

why should he handicap himself by going up in weight? Its not his fault noones good enough to beat him at his natural weight. ****ing hell it seems like its the worst crime ever on this site, not going up in weight.

Victor Galindez and Dwight Muhammad Qawi were shorter guys than GGG and they did just fine at 175 and didnt have his power

Little azz **** Tiger won the 160 and 175 title, he was 5'7" with a short reach and an aggressive style. someone forgot to tell him


if he wants to challenge himself or make history, he'll have to move up

whaaaaaaat????????

Galindez and Qawi would LITERALLY kill anybody on GGG's resume.

a statement like that is enough to get you sectioned in the UK

Well its a good thing I'm in the USA then

Other fighters "handicap" themselves to move up all the time....like Kel Brook

What makes Gigi so precious,that he can't take a few chances like everybody else????

I guess it's not in his peasant gene-pool to dare to be great..

who cares what others do, GGG is his own person, why fight at a weight hes worse at, i dont understand it and never willl.

[M Bison]

Move up in weight and get decapitated? Yeah. I'm shocked they aren't eager to follow in Kell's footsteps.

Like someone on Youtube said to put all of your excuses to bed

Asking GGG if he'd move up to 174 is a ****** question based on Brook moving up two weight classes without considering that Brook had fought at 158, 155, 154, 152 a couple of times, 151 a couple of times and 150 or that Brook has come into the ring at 167.
Proven by Brook being 176 at the 30 day weigh in.
GGG comes into the ring at 170............moving up to LHW would involve fighting guys who come into the ring 185 to 190.........
See the difference.......167 to 170 against 170 to 185-190?

The size difference between GGG and Brook is 1 inch in comparison to Chilemba having 3.5 inches in height and 3 inches in reach advantage against GGG.
Adonis Stevenson has a 7 inch reach advantage.
Tony Bellew has moved up but he had a 4.5 inch height and a 4 inch reach advantage.
Fonfara 4 inch height 7 inch reach advantage......
Huge height, reach and weight differences........

Do more research so you can get the truth out.

A very good informative message which targets the fact that Brook isn't forcing weight on himself just like GGG isn't doing the same.

How do you know he's worse at it?

He hasn't even attempt it.

Shame. He looks like the goods but just is to much of a "sit and wait" fighter for me
