I never said anything about natural vs walk around weight either. Like Hopkins did, GGG uses nutrition, discipline, and exercise to keep his weight lower than what it would be. That's very smart. My argument is that he could easily be a light heavyweight if he wanted.

Hopkins himself used the same discipline to stay at Mw till 40 and kinda break the Mw defense record, which is now kinda in jeopardy. And he's naturally bigger than Ggg. Ward was growing into 175 while 186 fight night vs Barrera etcLast edited by Aware; 10-12-2016, 02:20 AM.

Originally posted by Aware View PostThere was really no demand for Hopkins to move up. He had already fought Jones and lost. Jones was the king at 168 -175. There is demand for GGG to move up. No doubt Andre Ward is the bigger man, but he is not the harder puncher. So you will not see a mismatch like Brook vs GGG. Furthermore, some of Andre Ward's weight gain is due to his 2 year inactive period. He has had 2 fights at 175 and people are acting like he's been at light heavy his whole career. The weight class difference between them from a "natural" viewpoint is 1.
