Comments Thread For: Joshua The Latest Who Wants To See Golovkin Take Risk, Move Up

[Kigali]

what's this obsession with moving up in weight

GGG was weighing 165 2 weeks before the brook fight - he re-hydrates to high 60's

Why the F**k would he want to fight at 175 - Brook moved up 2 weight division for MONEY!!!

GGG's money fight is at 160 against Canelo

Marvin Hagler never moved up in weight - so what's the need to move up in weight for!!!!

I have no issue with GGG moving up to 168 once he fights and beats canelo - but where is the money fight at 168 - Degale is not bad in the UK but there is no one in that division that makes sense moneywise! Even 175 is not great with money - Ward has never been a star moneywise and Kovalev continues to fight in his opponents backyard!

American fighters are constantly told to move up.

Crawford just got to 140 and people (some even GGG fans) want him to move to 147 already.

Leave Hagler out of this...he had lots of good fights at 160.

If GGG were American(especially of a certain hue) the cry for him to take risks would be deafening.

And i wanna see Anthony Juicehua fight someone who isnt a failed NFL fatty.

1) Floyd didn't have to choose the Lightweight Champion for his first fight at that weight, but he did...risky!

2) Oscar was 33, almost the exact age as GGG, and Oscar was much bigger, and the champion. Floyd had never fought a SWW, fights the champ first fight at the weight...risky!

3) Cotto was champion @ 154! Unlike Pacquiao, Floyd didn't ask for a catch-weight, and beat the bigger man...risky!

4) Alvarez dropped 2 lbs. at age 23. Way heavier than Floyd on fight night (Just like Corrales was too), yet Floyd beats the bigger and younger man...risky!

The point is Floyd took risks, GGG fought Brook and Wade in 2016! No comparison!

......you won.

He's a small middleweight because on the weigh ins in the lead ups he weighs 165..a big middle like Lemieux weighs 175 at that time.Unless your suggesting he drains himself much lower for fun? What's Floyd's fight night weight again ?

For all you know GGG is juicing.

He's from the former Soviet Union, now fighting out of Germany..
2 of the dirtiest cheating nations on earth.

That alone raises red flags.

Such a small MW could have made Canelo's catchweight.

Since he's so tiny...he should be in the more competitive 154lb division....not playing Sheriff in a MW ghost town.

Some people want to see Golovkin lose.

They know no one is beating him at 160.

This effectively SHUTS UP THESE IDIOTS comparing the TWO....LOL
GREAT JOB!!!

Some comparisons are very disrespectful! If you hate Floyd, I have no problem, but when you say he didn't take risks, that's just dumb! Does GGG have to move up? No! Just keep his name out of your mouth when you're talking about Leonard, Oscar, Roy Jones Jr., Hopkins, Mayweather, and Pacquiao! If Ward beats Kovalev, he's in that club! GGG is going to have to do more than beat Canelo to get a membership!
