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

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?

You just said it: he turned pro later than Floyd.


Let's not talk about Floyd Canelo, he drained Canelo but fought Cotto and Oscar at 154.

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

Why is your oily ass crying about Black boxing fans?

Gigi ain't one of your people.

Uhh, those aren't so much challenges as they are opportunities for massive paydays. Which is no different to what Golovkin has done with chasing Froch and Chavez.

Floyd didn't drain Canelo you weak kneed Maricon.

Canelo's team are the ones that offered the 152 weight....plus....there was no rehydration clause.

Predictable. GGG's discipline on display.

No

That's his puny lightweight legs.

Jacobs will look to be about 176lbs at bell time with GGG being around 170lbs.
I think 15lbs over at 30 days is a little to much but he's made weight at 160 only nine times. The majority of his fights were
plus 160.
I'd like to see him at 170 at this stage.

Jacobs is doing a good job being bigger

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.

The people who said Floyd should go to 160 are as ridiculous as the ones who say Golovkin should go to 175.

Floyd would definitely run into trouble if he had attempted a sustained run at 154. 160 would have been ridiculous. He was big enough for welterweight and a catchweights around 150, that's it.

GGG is big enough for middleweight. Challenging someone at catchweight from 168 would be his version of Floyd's Cotto/Canelo fights. 175 would be ridiculous, he would be dwarfed.

I've just never enjoyed this stuff. I wish there were fewer weight divisions and titles in general so that guys his own size (Canelo) were forced to fight him, but fighting Ward, Kovalev, that **** isn't even interesting. He would be beaten and it wouldn't mean anything.

Guerrero was a big money fight for Floyd, so was Ortiz. Everbody he fought was a big money fight. Cotto, De La Hoya, and Canelo, were legit threats. If you dont see those fights as challenges you must think Floyd really is TBE. The weight was 1 1/2 lb from Canelo's last fight. He was only 22, he made that no problem.
