    160 is only "weak" because GGG is obliterating everything in his path. during Hopkins reign the division really ****** yet no complaints or demands for Bhop to move up. if GGG was winning all fights by decision it would make the division look more competitive. but hes mauling these guys. keep in mind if it wasn't for guys blatantly ducking GGG resume would already include Canelo, Cotto, Sturm, Froch, Martinez, Chavez, Eubanks and Saunders.

      Whenever a person finds themself giving credit for things that never happened, that means they have no legit argument and are desperately reaching.

      The quickness to embrace these fantasy scenarios shows that people aren't being objective to begin with.

      I like Golovkin but I'm embarrassed to say it around here sometimes with the way people act about him.

Canelo has not moved to 160 yet so don't try to sneak him in there, or Charlo who hasn't even fought at 160 yet. Danny J is decent. Golovkin is very good. How many years has it been since Eubank did anything relevant? In fact, his only relevant fight is LOSING to Saunders...

        Very little has changed since last year when everyone said it was a weak division. I know you're excited about the fight but don't let the hype of fight week confuse you.
        Redd foxx just came in here to destroy the ggg party before it even began. Came in here swinging for the fences, hitting them with the straight right facts to the body and head for easy 1st round tko.

          Is Andrade an A-levle with good resume? is Jermell an A level with a good resume? If that is a standard for a good division then hell welterweight is a weak division. Garcia, a B-class, Thurman not even A level yet.

            Nah, it's a ghost town and nowhere near as strong as 168...until GGG goes up and cleans out 168.
            Then that division is garbage and GGG left 160 to avoid so-and-so.
            You see how this works?

              Yeah. Too bad GGG couldn't fight Robert Allen 3 times or Segundo Mercado twice for the vacant IBF belt lol

                That's how it works for anything that is related to GGG.

                  No 160 has been trash for quite awhile. When GGG came, everyone who made it an exciting division had already left: Abraham, Pavlik, Taylor, Miranda, Winky, Williams.

                  What was left was a bland division of Sturm, Geale, Macklin etc.

                  The current MW division is weak. And stop mentioning small ass Cotto, mediocre Saunders and untested Eubank. Froch didn't duck GGG, stop being a fanboy. Chavez is also false, the fight didn't happen because of a contractual disagreement between Jr and Arum.

                  I will give you Sturm, clear duck. I will give you Martinez another clear duck.

                  Canelo has been offering GGG $15 mill to fight him, if GGG/K2 jeep declining then that's a duck on their part, not Canelo. $15mill is too much money.

                    "MUH FIFTEEN MILLION!"
                    He wasn't offering it last May or September, was he?
                    No. Canelo ducked both times last year.
                    He wasn't offering it for May this year was he?
                    No. He's not fighting GGG in May.
                    Eric Gomez already has that September 2017 duck warmed up.

                      No Andrade isn't an A level fighter with a good resume and neither is Jermell Charlo at 160lbs. And 147lbs atm is a top heavy division... or do you rate guys like Berto or Jesse Vargas highly?
