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

GGG walks around in shape pretty much year round it looks like.

Danny Jacobs does too. He just cuts more "water weight" before his fights. Doesn't mean he's in worse shape that GGG. It just means Jacobs is the bigger guy.

If you're a typical western world fat-ass it does but if you don't eat like a gluttonous pig and exercise regularly it doesn't slow down. I'm older than Golovkin and I weigh the same as I did when I was 18.

I am 25 years.old and played basketball and baseball during the week ends. I am talking about my co workers who never play any sports activities during the week ends. I am 6'1 and 175 lbs.

He is also at least 2 to 3 inches taller than Golovkin.

I actually like Jacobs weight! He looks good and healthy.

I see he's training in O-Town??? By chance you think Ward is helping him??? Kind of odd seeing a NYorker training on the BestCoast???

Yeah, Ward is helping Jacobs train and Chris Algieri is helping with nutrition.

Don't sleep on Jacobs. This is a very tough fight for Golovkin!

lol GGG got outweighed by everyone at 30 day weighins including brook.


how the hell is he a big middleweight again?

"He need to move up doe"

[richardt]

Most of the weight he will lose is "water weight" shortly before the weigh-in. When he rehydrates, after the weigh-in, he'll be a huge middleweight.

In that case every fighter that steps in the ring will be a huge (insert weight class) since no fighter enters the ring at the weight the weigh in at and some come in two weight classes above.

Not every fighter but many fighters are huge for their weight class. Canelo is a good example of someone who is really big for his weight division. If they can manage cutting all that water weight safely and gain an advantage then more power to them.

No. It's a serious question. De La Hoya, Cotto, and Canelo were all fights that were worth it for Floyd financially and legacy wise. Now when GGG turned down the Ward fight the reasons giver were Ward isn't a big draw (GGG isn't a big enough draw to fight Floyd) Ward hasn't made 168 in years, not sure he could make 168 again (GGG has never fought at 154) Ward didn't have a strap (GGG didn't have a strap at 154). Froch and Chavez Jr are worth it financially but not Ward (Cotto, Canelo, and Oscar was worth it financially but not GGG) Now if you accept those reasons for GGG not having to fight Ward you gotta accept them for Floyd not having to fight GGG. What's good for the goose...

See I find this situation funny, your earlier reply post to one of my posts referred to"what has ggg done to earn a fight with Floyd, I hardly think Berto would qualify under your thinking, as for ward, there is no actual proof of either ggg or ward turning down the fight, it's all here say, so please explain why Floyd didn't fight at 154 vs ggg, as berto brought nothing to the table ppv wise in their fight

Berto was his last fight. Berto was also a welterweight. Floyd never campaigned at 154. He only moved up to take big fights. Cotto, Canelo, and De La Hoya. Does GGG fit into any of those categories? Is there any proof whatsoever that GGG can make 154? How many fights have he fought there?
