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

[Derranged]

typical gay ***ie response from you.

That doesn't make sense.

[SteveM]

Weight cutting for the 30 day weight.

that makes sense? The limit is 176 so why come in at 165?

[Progrssive_Jedi]

LOL... GTARDS still think Brook moving up to the FULL 160 was fair doe! You know better than this??? They still butthurt that the bigger, meaner, stronger, version of GGG was beat by Ward. They expected Ward to last no more than 4 rounds... I made some good $$$$ on that fight. I took the over. I knew damn well it was going 12 rounds.

It's disgraceful for guys to be WW and fight a MW. Never happens.

[Progrssive_Jedi]

Because ggg never gets the high. He walks into the camp at 170 and just slowly starts to drop the weight for camp.

This is what constant pros do.

[Bjl12]

Interestingly, he said he would not fight Canelo at a catchweight less than 160.

Which is the funny thing. If he can easily make 154 than why does he drag WW Brooks up 13 pounds without conceding 1 pound? Why does he drag Canelo up 5-6 pounds without conceding 1 pound?

GGG is a prima donna. Some people choose not to apply the same standards to him as every other boxer. It cracks me up. Pac**** all over again

[Bjl12]

Why is Canelo not campaigning at 154 at the age of 26.

Canelo's last fight took place at 154. What the fu.ck are you going on about? He's moving up 10.5 pounds to fight a significantly larger fighter. You know...Canelo's taking a challenge!

Kind of like when GGG drug an average WW (Kell Brook) up 13 pounds and conceded...oh wait, nevermind. GGG made no concessions he just drug a much smaller fighter up 13 pounds.

What a stud this GGG is.

As usual you miss the point b/c your mouth is busy blowing little g and Abel.

Brook was never the MAN at 147. He was a Top 5 contender and lil G drags up a "decent" WW 13 pounds instead of fighting JMW Lara or other JMW who would gladly take the fight.

It's a different story in historical fights when guys jump weight classes, but this was just a regular fight. Brook was never a historical WW. Just an average contender.

Absolute ***** MOVE by lil g and somehow dogsh.it people like yourself support it.

If Jacobs wins the aftermath will be hilarious

[richardt]

He can if the money is right. You will recall that he challenged Mayweather to fight at 154 ---for big bucks no doubt. Interestingly, he said he would not fight Canelo at a catchweight less than 160.

That was because GGG was Canelo's mandatory and GGG used that leverage knowing Canelo had to fight him at 160 or give up the belts. It was a matter of principle and leverage with Canelo.

[PK3434]

Because ggg never gets the high. He walks into the camp at 170 and just slowly starts to drop the weight for camp.

Yeah. But so many boxers don't do this. I feel like most of these guys just really hate the sport and can't wait to take a few months off from any type of exercise or boxing related activity after a pay day. What Golovkin is doing should be normal but it's really not.

[Motorcity Cobra]

Didn't ggg offer to go to 154 for floyd?

Why would Floyd have fought him at 154? He didn't have a 154 belt. Not sure he would've even made 154. He hadn't made 154 in years. He's not a big enough draw. Do you agree with those reasons? Those are the same reasons K2 used to not fight Ward. They're 10x's more true when it comes to Floyd fighting GGG at 154

Was it more reasonable to suggest GGG fight Ward at 168 than for Floyd to fight GGG at 160 or even 154?
