Obsession with moving up

[NYG]

Whats with this obsession with moving up in weight on this site? Guys like TC and GGG get crucified for wanting to unify the belts first for some strange reason. Why?

Guys that never moved up, and i'm sure there is more.

Hagler
Monzon? Could be wrong
Froch
Tszyu
Pryor

Etc.


If TC and GGG stay at their weight and never move up and just dominate their divisions, why would that be wrong? Do people want to see good fights or just increase their risks of losing?

Sometimes guys moving up means they avoid top guys in their own division and thats eliminates big fights.

When you run out of valid criticism you turn to moving up.

[-GDS-]

A lot of times when you want fighters you hate to lose, you push for them to move up. That's usually what it is with these cancerous posters.

[.!WAR MIKEY!.]

theirs nothing like proving your a bad motherfucker and moving is one of the ways to prove that.

Weak divisions warrant for the best fighter of that division who no longer has good competition there, to move up unless it's a HW who has no where to go.

Amen to that.

If the fighter feels like he should challenge himself then he has the option to go up to the next weigh to fight a marquee name.

If going up is not the fighters optimum fighting weight I don't see why they are obligated to move up

Whenever there is a really really good black fighter, NSB wants him to move up to get beat so they can say he was overrated.

Whenever there is a really really good white fighter, NSB wants him to move up to get beat so they can say he was overrated.

See the trend?

Truthfully, just as posters love to say, boxing is about the money, so if you are looking to cement legacy in a sport, BOXING is the wrong sport to take up.

As said before, I think it's just haters and people want to see how far up someone can go before losing. Personally, I like the idea of a fighter dominating a division.

Problem with Gennady Golovkin was the calling out fighters from lower weight classes. If he can fight a Kell Brook or a Saul Alvarez from one or two weight divisions below, what's wrong with talking about him fighting an Andre Ward or a Sergey Kovalev from one or two weight divisions above?

[Canelo and GGG]

maybe its Pacman syndrom
