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

[Jimmy 23]

GGG fans are pathetic b1tches.Look at FMJ situation - he was 5 division champ with amazing carrer, 36 y.o. but people still want Alvarez fight - vs a guy which was 172 lbs before Mayweather fight (vs Trout).Now those guys still want Mayweather move up and fight GGG, retired 40 y.o. man...
On the other side - GGG, a guy with ZERO resume at 34 y.o, ZERO HOF opponent and they don't want him to challenge himself and built legacy.

Weird options.

The correct option is to move up as there are fighters there willing and able, who can provide just as much money wise as he's getting now if not more.

However, he's clearly not a middleweight. But if he wants to be known as an ATG he'll need to move up.

Who is a better fight at 168 than Jacobs and Canelo?

Canelo is irrelevant, that fight isn't happening right now. DeGale and Jack would be far more impressive wins than Jacobs, and I don't even like either of those guys as much as Jacobs.

[mathed]

Cuz his resume sucks and he fights no hopers and MWs? Souns like a legit reason to me.

On topic, I'm not sure when it became a crime to expect a world class boxer to challenge himself. Boxing fans are a weird bunch.

So, a MW champ fighting other MWs is now unacceptable? LOL, OK so going after ALL of the belts in a division is now not considered "challenging oneself"?

He already said that if he can't get BJS, Jacobs or Eubank jr in the ring, he'll move up to fight either Ramirez or DeGale.

He wants to be best 160 guy ever. Once he beats defence-record the claim to be be best ever is more realistic.

People who's say he hasn't fought anyone yet, it don't make sense to leave a division you campaigned at without haven fought anyone. So ggig will stay until he fights a somebody.

Brook was a MW? Brook had a MW belt? If not you can shut up n stop making excuses.

I'd like to see him move up because I think he will get the fights at 168 atleast, however there is a large group here that just want him to lose. Similar to another group that just wanted to see Floyd lose. I've been entertained by them un spooling like 3 year olds but it's becoming stale. I'll be glad to see the Golovkin threads slow down.

The same people that wanted 3G to move up to 175lbs were the same people Ironically saying Mayweather was too small for 154lbs this is what they said to make sure their hero would not fight Erislandy Lara, Floyd ducked Lara and the Cuban boxing school all because of the lies of being too small even though he fought at 154lbs three times before and needed an IV to re-hydrate to make 147lbs for Pacman.

So it's about money now?

I thought it was about respecting the sport, collecting belts, and legacy?
