Give me one good legitimate reason why GGG is yet to move up a weight

[Real King Kong]

He would be an idiot to move up...the canelo fight trumps any other fight that's out there for him.

Sounds just like Floyd haters vs fans right? Twilight Zone in this mother****er.

Yea, it's exactly like the Floyd haters except if I had to guess the guys that defended Floyd all those years are now the ones all over Golovkins nuts. It's ***ing hilarious.

But why is he ducking Canelo doe

[!! Shawn]

He's older, finished growing a few years ago. He had a late start in pro boxing and then his career was delayed by the de****able Universum.

If he was a pro when he won the world amateur championship at light welterweight, he would have then moved from 140 through 147 to 154 up to 160.

Its funny how context is always lost on people. But he won the world championships at 152 not 141. 141 he won the junior world championships.

2000, GGG is fighting at 141lb
2002, GGG is fight at 152lb
2004, GGG is fighting in the olympics at 165lb

That puts him on par with most young fighter who move up through divisions, age wise.

Fighters rarely move up divisions in their mid 30's.
Floyd maxed out at 154 when he was 29 vs Oscar.

GGG is also not a big middleweight, he has already filled out, any higher divisions he is going to start being at a serious size and reach disadvantage.

Most fighters that move up, only move up to the point where all of that evens out. Floyd was about average height and build for a WW, GGG is about average height and build for a MW.

1. He makes weight easily. 166 30 days out of Brook and Wade fights
2. His dream is to unify MW division. His dream ****s on whatever the hell forum trolls are whining about. It's HIS dream.
3. Big money/respect fight is at 160.
4. Closest division to move for, 168, sucks ass. No big names and no money.
5. 168 currently has no decent fights available. Ramirez is injured, DeGale/Jack have been linked to each other for a year now. Who's he gonna fight? Porky Medina?
6. 168 is full of Haymon guys. Outside of Wade, who was a little known mandatory, and Khan, we have little proof that Haymon guys can fight on HBO. This will hopefully change if Golovkin/Jacobs gets negotiated successfully.
7. 175 is where I want to see him fight in a few years. But that's not a move you make willy nilly because there's no coming back down in weight from that.

Good enough? #2 is pretty much what takes care of any and all of your arguments though.

Well then GGG has a *****y dream compared to actual great fighters.

Most all time greats want to test themselves by fighting the best and if it calls moving up a division or two so be it.

Yet ggg just cares about ABC belts thats it nothing else.

Unfortunately for you ggg nutthuggers the guy has no balls to prove himself he's nearly 35 and has yet to fight a legit great fighter.

Canelo at only 26 *****s all over GGG's horrible resume.

[KillaCamNZ]

Because GGG doesn't give a **** about what YOU want.

He doesn't even know who you are.

Close thread.

Ironic, considering he was willing to move up for Froch, but Froch ducked him. Rosado is a bum that GGG beat up, his opinion means nothing. Robert Garcia's opinion is meaningless too.

Why didn't Malifaggi move up to 160 instead of staying at welterweight? Was it because he never beat a single good fighter at 147?

The others (Joshua, Broner, Nelson, Mayweather, Hopkins, Jones) are insecure about his success and just want to see Golovkin lose, and we all know why.
