Comments Thread For: 30-Day Weights: Gennady Golovkin 165.1, Daniel Jacobs 174.8

GGG proves it once again. He is a small middleweight. And he has not ever put himself through losing lots of weight for a fight. GGG still has at least 3 years, maybe 4 in his absolute prime. By that time he will have stamped himself as "One of the greatest middleweights ever."---Roy Jones Jr.

GGG just has puny legs.

Do you consider Mayweather a small welterweight? Go back and look at his WBC 30 day weigh ins. He was always around 149-151. He weighed 150 for the 30 day weigh in against Canelo and 151 at the fight weigh in. I've never heard anyone call Floyd a small welterweight. I've never heard anyone say Floyd shouldn't move up. Hell, some even said he should move up to 160. GGG has not outgrown middleweight. He's making the weight comfortably so he doesn't have to move up. The only reason he should move up is for challenges, just like Floyd only moved up for challenges.

Floyd and GGG are small for there divisions. Both stay in shape year-round. People asking Floyd to fight ggg wanted to see him lose. The people who want ggg to fight ward want to see him lose.

Floyd was the A-side. Alvarez is the more natural 154 puncher that DLH nor Cotto could ever be. It makes perfect sense and risk that if Floyd wanted the Lineal Light Middleweight crown then Alvarez would have to concede to 152 to make the fight happen. At that age and time I don't think it affected Alvarez too much, but a 154 Alvarez might have had a different outcome.

I can still see Alvarez losing, but I could also see Alvarez winning rounds. Whatever the case may be, Alvarez was dumb to take that fight at 152. However, that matchup wasn't as pathetic as DLH coming at 145 against Pac. At least back then there were several reports about the DLH's dehydrated theme... but most of industry went with Pac ''destroying'' DLH...

There was no rehydration clause...
That's how you drain somebody

Floyd did not do that.

Canelo had to make a concession just to get the fight because he pulled the Austin Trout fight off Mayweather's card.

Yeah! Very few guys guys fight around their natural walk around weight...

GGG
Pac
Floyd
JMM

is just the few I can think of??? Everyone else in the 15-20lbs heavier weight. For some reason only CanYellow gets called out doe!

Because he created his own weight class at 155 to avoid the whole middle-weight division for like 3 years. Even Virgil Hunter called him out for being a mockery to boxing. Where the fuc you been.

People just want to see GGG take a risk...like Floyd has his entire career.


I think his handlers know how limited he is.

What's worse??? Making a welterweight come up to 155 or making a welterweight come up to 160???

If your going to take a risk and give up15lbs It needs to be for big money. Ward is not big money.

[Verus]

He was just exaggerating to the all the haters; who insist he has to move up because he's to big for all the middle weight frauds out there.

Thanks. l completely missed it.

I was thinking exactly the same thing when I read that. Wtf is he trying to say. Is that a new form of the English language or ebonics.lol.

Lol! I have no idea, but I have to admit it is colorful.

Didn't GGG want to fight Floyd at 154 ? To make it a competitive fight.Also with Ward didn't he also say 164 so Ward couldn't come in 15-20 pounds over weight on fight night and use all that extra weight to his advantage. Oh he also said lets fight, next. Not 1 year later after Ward was in exile for 2 years trying to call the shots pulling his Diva crap.
