FACT or FICTION: Those who obsess over GGG not moving up in weight...

[mick1303]

Yes, there are some fans, who want him to move up, because they want to see him challenged and get more recognition (which would happen in a perfect world). But the vast majority of posters, who are vocal here only care about out part in moving out. They want middleweight division free for their favorites to play. You can easily recognise them by their language ("lil G", "Gina", "triple flop" - they just can't help themselves).

He was fighting at MW when he fought GGG did Brook weigh-in at 147lbs for the Golovkin fight?
If not once again, shut up and stop making excuses.

Interesting-when the discussion is Brook/GGG you talk only about the weight the fight was fought not where Brook was prior. When the discussion is Floyd/Manny you talk about what weght Manny was prior and not the weight the fight was contested at.

I want to see him go up to 168 because he'll be able to kick ass and build a legit legacy. No one currently at 168 is knocking him out. Hardcore fans don't seem to have the same faith in Golovkin that I do.

You don't know that....

Lil Gina groupies terrified of Lil G doing what other past greats did

....and there you have it.

One Manny is a midget and isn't big for the weight
Two Kelly isn't a midget and like his trainer and Kell admitted to they've been burning muscle to make 147lbs hence why the progression to 160lbs was an easy one for them to make
Three finally I never once mentioned the weight of Manny/Floyd being an issue what I did however mention was the fact that Floyd was using an illegal masking technique and he used above the recommended usage of an IV in the comfort of his own home and not in a hospital.

If GGG was pulling the same stunt that 90% of other boxers do which is boil down, starve and dehydrate themselves to make weight only to pack on 20+lbs after the weigh in, I'd be on board with him moving up since it seems as if every other "champ" in the division either wants Mayweather/Pacquiao money to fight him or refuse to fight him at all.

His stance from day one has been to unify at 160 then move up. I respect that. He's not ducking or dodging anyone in his division. This whole "I'll fight anyone from 154 - 168" talk didn't even come from GGG but instead it was his trainer who threw that out there. That's like holding someone like Danny Garcia or Floyd Mayweather accountable for all the crap their fathers/trainers talk.

I'd much rather see GGG take on the likes of the hard hitting Jacobs at the Barclays or BJS and Eubanks over seas. All 3 would be big fights. I give up on Canelo. He's content with walking around in shame and struggling to make 154 just so he doesnt have to be forced into a fight with GGG!

I think their life is becoming a reck over GGG not moving up in weight funny how they praise Haglar though he never moved up in weight

So when the guy you like wins, find any way you can to legitimize it. When the guy you like loses, find any way you can to delegitimize it.

Neither one. People who dislike Golovkin will b1tch and moan about whatever is available. Since he hasn't fought Lara, they'll say that he's ducking Lara, since he hasn't fought Ward, they'll complain about Ward, since he didn't automatically say he'll goto 155 for Canelo, they'll complain about weight, since he didn't move up, they're asking him to move up.. Blah blah.

If he passed on the Brook fight and fought Khurtsidze it would be "he's fighting another MW no name that division sucks btw he ducked Kell Brook who was calling him out. Lil G is afraid of WWs".

They're a bunch of b1tches who need something to whine about. I personally could not care less about what.

So telling the truth about Brook making weight for 160lbs being easy is lies?
159.6lbs weigh-in
170lbs on night of the fight

Cheating is cheating and it should be punished too bad the people testing Floyd don't feel the same way.
