Why does Golovkin drain himself for 30 and 7 day weigh-ins?

[i'm a fun haver]

The guy weighs 170+ on fight night. He's obviously draining for the 30 and 7 day weigh-ins, so why is he doing it? Is he so afraid of moving up that he wants to give the impression he's a small MW. Is it just something he's always done so continues to do it?


Here are fight night weights of past MW fighters.

Martinez - 165, 168
Proksa - 166
Zbik - 165
Taylor - 166, 169, 171
Lee - 167.5
Pavlik - 168, 171
Hopkins - 166, 168, 169
Wright - 168
Barker - 168
Jacobs - 170
Pirog - 170
Quillin - 170
Macklin - 172
Monroe - 172
Miranda - 173
Korobov - 173, 174

I'm astounded the same people make these threads bigging GGG up and tearing him down consistently, constantly. Their is more to boxing than GGG and hating on him.

You guys are fückin cringeworthy.

Come on man, why are you asking this? You know it's so he can duck Ward.

In seriousness, Floyd and Manny are like the only two fighters who don't really need to cut that much. They just stay diligent year round, but other fighters just want to dominate a division, so they drain.

so wait, this guy posts unofficial weights as proof that Golovkin weighs 170+ on fight night, then asks for proof that Borat is wearing clothes on those weigh ins? the nerve

There's no evidence he was wearing clothes. The weights are evidence of themselves.

If you say Golovkin was wearing clothes then you must apply the same to all the other fighters weights i posted. He's still not a small MW.

Unofficial weigh ins are not evidence of his fight night weight. Next.

Evidence is not evidence? Are you ******ed? If i stand on a scale the number being shown is not evidence of what i weigh? Derp derp derp.

The question is... if Golovkin is a big middleweight, then what are the guys he's fighting? super mega huge middleweights? because most of them outweigh him by 5 pounds.

Except proska and Macklin, from the past 15 fights all have outweighed Golovkin. So what are them? explain.

I've seen videos of Golovkin saying he walks around 165. It wouldn't surprise me if he's fighting weight is around 168-170.

prove to me that an unofficial scale was well calibrated. Prove to me under what condition the scale was. Prove to me that it was handled correctly.

You dont know what evidence means.

Can you prove any of those things for official scales? I guess we shouldn't use them as evidence either.

Such a weak excuse.
