    When Canelo & Cotto have been running scared and left the division to avoid him, it's easy to say after the fact there was no competition.

    GGG is dominating his division more than any other fighter in the world. Seems a little too convenient to then claim that magically out of the thousands of boxers around the world, none of the good ones happen to weigh 160 pounds . . .
    After the fact? Everyone's been saying it before the fact, you ****ing moron.

    Next year these Golovkin morons will be claiming everyone was picking Jacob's to win. They try to rewrite history. Golovkin has been a massive favourite in every damn fight he's had. He's never taken a real challenge and probably never will.

      View polls it's obvious Cotto and Canelo ain't competitive for GGG, I'd rather see Canelo vs Cotto again, GGG needs move up to give genuine fight fans truly competitive fights. When a division is devoid of any real opposition the logical option is to move up but money is motivating GGG to hang around.

      Only fan boys desperate to see GGG continue facing the likes of Saunders and Heiland are attempting to justify the titles are actually meaningful, everyone knows who the real no.1 is and everyone knows why Canelo won't face GGG.

      If GGG fan boys want their hero accepted as truly great he needs to move up and beat the best at 168 and face Ward, I suppose at a catchweight to make it competitive even though it is widely touted GGG hits like a light heavyweight.

        What's good for the goose is good for the gander.

        Golovkin is supposed to be a far better fighter than Brook right? Obviously you don't think so.

          If canelo and Cotto are better than GGG, why the hell they left division to aviod him?

            Who has he avoided in his division? If the answer is nobody, then the only explanation for what you are claiming is either that GGG is great and makes others look mediocre by comparison, or, for some crazy reason, for some historical anomaly, 7 years went by without any good fighters weighing 160 pounds.

            what are the odds of that?

            you're a hater. plain & simple. GGG is doing what we should want EVERY fighter to do. take on all comers. win all the titles. knock everybody out.

                if GGG is the best, why not be the best as long as possible? keep knocking everyone out until someone better comes along? he makes 160 easily. what does it prove to fight in higher weight classes? why even have weight classes at all? there's no 5' 4" basketball championship, we should there be a 126 pound fighting championship?

                  MW is one of if not the weakest division in boxing. Boxing greatness is proven by resume and even Golovkin fans admit his is garbage.

                    If that's what you're happy with so be it, I prefer competitive action, evenly matched fights where the fighters generally aren't pre determined, that's why I was so excited to see Ward vs Kovalev and Postol vs Crawford. With GGG I've not been excited about one of his fights since he fought Geale, I think that's when I really thought to myself this guy is too much for 160 he needs move up to really challenge himself.

                      Did you not think it was abit reckless of Brook to jump two divisions? Since he stood in for Eubank, would you not have called Golovkin a ducker if he hadn't accepted the fight?
