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

Haters insist he move to 175.It should be obvious to anybody who can read that he is a small middleweight.

Drained in his last fight doe.

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.

W/e lie you want to tell yourself to help you sleep at night. I'll just end with all the guys floyd fought at super-welter werent cashcows by coincidence.

P.S I never said they weren't challenges, re-read the post your replying to, but that wasn't the point.

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


how the hell is he a big middleweight again?

Golovkin is obviously a "natural" middleweight and makes weight without much/any weight cut.

Weight had nothing to do with that outcome. The skill gap was to great. Now if you say age I can give a lil thought to that. But they said the boy was ready.

i agree with cobra, canelo was like 23 back then, making 152 lbs shouldn't have been a problem for him.

And thats one of many reasons why GGG is the greatest active fighter. Always in shape, could probably still fight at 154 and keeps fighting guys that outweigh him in the ring.

Because he stays on top of his weight like a maniac.

Bernard Hopkins kept his weight off and fought at 160 for damn near forever; the moment he was done with 160lbs, he took off 6 months, went up 15lbs, and won a light heavyweight trinket. If B-Hop wasn't on top of his business, staying at middleweight wouldn't have happened.

Golovkin basically being in camp year round keeps the weight off, for the most part; 30 days basically amounts to the final 4 weeks of a camp.

Daniel Jacobs had his winter camp, has been in the Bay Area for this camp for a while now, and basically has 30 days to sweat off a stone or so of water weight (which largely gets put right back onto the body come fight night), normal for the division, tbh.

Hopkins is 6 2 and has a bigger frame than ggg. Bad analogy.

He's really a 154lber fighting as a mw. Every top 154 lber weighs as much if not more than ggg fight night.
