If you don't fight for $15,000,000??? When 99.9% of EVERY other boxer out there WILL. Who is REALLY scared???

The one who gave up his belt instead of fighting is the one who's really scared.

why so early?

Why so early? They have to go for an additional weigh-in on Sat morning -- the IBF belt is also on the line, therefore they will step on the scales again, early next morning... That's why...

Is it me or does it look like Golovkin isn't even super-toned. As if he could lose a couple more for a 154 or 155lb fight.

Chewing gum like a nervous mofo. He's lucky Golovkin didn't slap that gum out his mouth.

According to his trainer his fight night weight is around 169 or 170. That's what most 154 fighters weigh these days.

For some reason he doesn't cut the weight and fight in 154. Maybe he can't do it without losing muscle. Maybe he respects the sport and fights at the division he belongs. Maybe he's not able to cut more than 10 pounds.

I also believe he can make 154, but he needs to lose 3 or 4 pounds of muscle at least. Look for example, Canelo went down to 152 and lost 7 pounds on fight night weight.

Matthew Macklin & Andy Lee both cut down to 154 and both said it weakened them, and neither are big MW's. I think it'd be the same with Golvkin, he's a legit MW.

I've never seen another fighter with as tight a career weight range as Golovkin. His lowest pro weight is 158lbs and his highest career weight was 161.5lbs. Nobody's had as tight of weight range as that.

Jacobs is going to pull this off. I have a feeling he will put on a virtuoso performance.

Go back and watch Jacobs vs Mora 2 and you will understand why an upset wont happen. Danny is a great guy with a punchers chance at most.
GGG by KO (not TKO)

That's right, you don't see Canelo facing killers like Wade and Willie Monroe! Freakin coward. Facing fighters like Trout, Mayweather, and Lara. Even his off fights are against the likes of Kirkland. He needs to really test himself against someone who has never even been in a scheduled 12 rounder before, like a Wade.

canela faces midgets like cotto and weights 10 pounds on them or canela fights murderers like liam smith looooool.

and dont critisize ggg resume we both know they will be canela's opponents for a LONG time if he does not grow balls and accepts GGG contract

BUTT-HURT RED ALERT !!!!
Large amount of ointment is required !!! Give your dollar please, here a guy need to alleviate his ass pain!

You're a moron. He made you look foolish with simple logic while giving you an example we all can relate to and you come back at him with "butt-hurt red alert"?

What a cornball....
