Golovkin: "I'm not a big MW. I can make 154 no problem."

[Robbie Barrett]

Oh gee, I dunno, actually try to negotiate a fight instead of dropping the belt and be labeled a ducker? Talk about not being bright.

Lil G's team said countless times they wouldn't negotiate on weight.

If GGG goes to 154, Canelo drops to 140!

This article seems super sketchy. The author didn't actually interview Golovkin, where did get the quote?

its the same hing he said in this thread which you posted in

WE OFFERED MAYWEATHER the fight at 154!! He retired. We told CANELA the 160 champ, fight us... he ran. NOTHING will make these cowards sign their death sentence.

Since when does the B side offer the A side a fight?

Golovkin offering floyd a fight is like saying stevie Forbes offered de la hoya a fight at 150.

The A side does the offering. We all know this

"Everybody is bigger than me at 160 pounds," insists Gennady Golovkin. "I'm not big guy...I can make 154 pounds no problem. But I need big names, big fights. I respect champions at 168 pounds, but who is there? No big names or big fights at 168 currently."


I'm confused. GGG wants a big name and he can make 154 no problem, so why not fight Canelo at 155 or 154?

Canelo gave up the belt; what's the problem?

The problem is that you are an idiot. Canelo gave up the belt because he doesn't want to fight GGG.

Naw, Canelo never offered him a fight at 155. But there are some good fights at 154 or even 156-157 to entice some of those guys to move up. Andrade, J-rock, Lara, Jemall. I wouldn't favor any over GGG but those would be some good fights. I think the Andrade fight would be more competitive than GGG-Canelo

I'm sure he can make 154, but he'll be weakened. There's no one worth fighting at 154 that a 160 fight isn't possible outside of Mayweather.

In all fairness, after seeing GGG at the weigh-in for the Brook fight, I don't really think he could fight at 154 without severely draining himself. He looked OK - but no more than that - at the weigh-in with 159.

I think team GGG should openly acknowledge that, now that GGG is 34, he would not be able to make 154 anymore. There is no shame in that - bodies change with age. They should focus on 160-168 now.
