It's the same as demanding Kovalev move up to CW. Doesn't make sense. 25lbs in both directions is a huge jump in weight. Golovkin would look comically outsized at 175, as would Kovalev at 200.
I wouldn't fancy Golovkin's chances against murderous LHW punchers like Kovalev, Stevenson or Beterbiev; same with Kovalev against CW ****ers like Lebedev, Huck or Glowacki.

1. Hagler didn't go to 175 so why should Golovkin doe?
2. Why Hopkins protecting Canelo doe?
3. Why isn't Hopkins making a statement and retiring doe?
4. Is Hopkins scared of Golovkin breaking his record?
5. How many Golovkin haters are jump on Hopkin **** and read his words doe?
These are the questions I asked myself when I read this drivel. I'm not a fan of Golovkin at all but seeing that Hopkins started at 175lbs and retired at 175lbs he doesn't have much of a case to ask someone else to move up when he did the exact opposite.
Hopkins was champ @ 160 and 175! Oscar also made him come to to 157 at age 39. He came in @ 156 and got the stoppage! THAT'S GREATNESS! Besides heavyweights, most of the ATGs have been champions at more than one weight class!
