Middleweights who dont move up are PuhCees

[Joeyzagz]

I never understood how guys like GGG and Hagler are known as "warriors" when all they do is camp out at 160 waiting for Welters to get fat.

They are both cowArds and no where near TBE level. They cant even move up 1 fxking class let alone 4. GTFOH

They're definitely not cowards, I get that you might be trying to appeal to people's emotions but they're high level fighters even though I also would like to see golovkin move up!

If they moved up, they wouldn't be middleweights any more.

A fun fact for all the kids out there (and by that I mean the clowns that dksab but pretend to)

In 1987 the year Hagler fought his last fight the WBA officially created a 168 lbs title

In 1988 the WBC officially created a 168 lbs title

In 1988 the WBO was officially created as a boxing organization

Sooooo

The 1 title at 168 Hagler could have fought for was the ibf and frankly Hagler would've killed any of the top guys.

Thus Hagler moving up would mean a 5'9 man would have to move to 175 lbs to fight any notable boxer.

This wasn't the modern era kids where 8 pounds separated a middleweight from the next division up no it was the good ol days that meant a middleweight had to add 15 lbs to move up.

Just to put that into perspective it took Floyd over a decade to add 20 lbs and Manny never came in above 150 ever.

Roy Jones Jr. went from 175lbs. to Heavyweight. Bernard Hopkins went from 160lbs. to 175lbs both within a fight... next excuse.

Why didn't Hopkins fight at heavyweight?

Why didn't Hopkins fight at heavyweight?

His PED's weren't that magical and his boring foul filled style wouldn't have worked against the Heavyweights.

[Mr Objecitivity]

So basically, any boxer that isn't a heavyweight is a 'coWards' and 'PuhCees'? Got it! So since all of those sub-heavyweight boxers that never competed at heavyweight are cowards, then the vast majority of boxers are cowards according to your argument.

[brettWall]

You move up when your body tells you to. Not when anonymous clowns on the Internet tell you to. The bigger cowardice is posting anonymously on the internet and insult people.

That's your opinion and one I completely disagree with. Moving up in weight when you are fighting at your natural fighting weight just to make things harder on themselves is for ****** boxers. By your strange way of thinking every boxer fighting today should move up a full weight class. Lightweights should move up to 140. All light heavyweights should move up to 200 pounds and so on or they are cowards according to you. That's just ******. Hagler fought a bunch of very good full sized middleweights and so did GGG. They are great, fearless champions who avoided nobody in their weight class yet you brand them as coward because you are a boxing dummy with no knowledge of their career. Jacobs outweighed GGG by an estimated 10 pounds on fight night. Do you call that picking on a small welterweight? Both Hagler and GGG defended their titles twice as often as most champion and they dodged nobody. It's easy for you to type on your computer that they they were cowards but they are the complete opposite of a coward and they will go into boxing history as great champions.Name a single middleweight that Hagler or GGG should have fought but refused to fight. If you are truthful you can't name a single one. You seem to think it's easy to be a champion of a weight class and dominate that weight class for years taking on the best challengers your weight 3 or 4 times a year. News flash. It isn't easy and only brave great boxers can do it. They don't deserved to be called cowards by you.
