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

[.:: JSFD26 ::.]

Well no surprises that Golovkin weighs at 165 30days out..
Who was the guy who made a thread about WBC not in line because of no 30 day weigh in and VADA for Jacobs..

Well in his defense because Feb has only 28days the 30day weigh in should have happened on 16th..

He need to move up doe!- every black boxing fan.

GGG is huge doe!

GGG has always been barely big enough for MW which is why the "in this era he gotta move up to challenge himself" people are generally clueless and just repeating what they saw someone else say.

He is in his mid 30s. This is his maximum size. If he does move up it won't mean much of anything because it will just be an old fat version. Literally smaller than Canelo.

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.

Gg be pikin on little fiterz n sheeeit u no wat imsane

[metalmickey]

he's a complete professional, keeps in shape all year, back to old times weighin on fight day.
he's an example to those who want to treat boxing with the proper respect because its a job where you can die on the job.
shame he is 30 + in age, maybe 3-4 more years at top

@chocolatitobox 122.6 and Rungvisai 125.9 for the @WBCBoxing 30 day weighin, both under limit of 126.5 for March 18 Championship @TheGarden

He said he wants to unify at 160, then he said he will move to 68


Gennady fought at 147 in like what, 2003 or something? 160 is his weight.


What age did Floyd start moving up?

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

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

It's strange. Wouldn't fight Lara, Khan (for some reason) at 154 but fights Liam Smith at 154 (for some reason)


Now he is fighting Chavez at 164.5 (for some reason) but won't fight at 160.

GGG turned pro later so that's not a good way to judge. Some guy on here made a topic showing GGG was about the same size as Floyd around the same age.

I'm not saying GGG should move up for the sake of moving up. I'm saying he should move up for challenges. But GGG fans get offended if you suggest he move up to face a challenge. It's the double standards. Floyd was a smaller welterweight than GGG is a middleweight. Consistently 3lbs off the limit at the 30 day weigh in. Can you imagine Floyd saying he wants to unify at welterweight instead of fighting De La Hoya, Cotto, and Canelo?
