Middleweights who dont move up are PuhCees

[boliodogs]

You say they can never by like TBE, that ridiculous name that over the top extreme Mayweather worshipers call him. Get your facts straight you boxing Moron. Mayweather isn't a natural 130 boxer who moved up to 147 just for the hell of it because he was so brave and wanted a challenge. He had no choice but to move up in weight as his body outgrew the weight class he was in. He moved up in small steps as his body grew. He never fought in a weight class that he didn't belong in. He grew into a full sized welterweight as proved by his failure to make the agreed 144 pounds for Marquez, If Hagler or GGG had outgrown middleweight they would have moved up just like Mayweather had to do. You are comparing two completely different situations.

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

A champion who dominates his weight class for years and beats all the top challengers damn sure doesn't need any excuse for you or anyone else. Just because Jones and Hopkins did it doesn't mean every other boxer must do the same. Both Jones and Hopkins lost a lot more fights than Hagler or GGG and both of them have been knocked down many times and knocked out. Hagler and GGG have never been knocked down in their entire career. Have you got an excuse for that?

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

In all fairness to Marvin Hagler; He had no other alternative but to move down to a 154 lbs or move up two weights classes to a 175 lbs, because the 168 lbs weight division did not exist when he was fighting.

It's because the Super middleweight division; Whom Sugar Ray Leonard was the first to have ever won it, is a new weight division originally founded by the WBC in 1988; The very same year that Marvin Hagler retired.

On the other hand, GGG is a whole different story. He should have made his foray into the 168 lbs weight division by now but thus far he hasn't and I don't understand why?

If he does not intend on becoming the undisputed Middleweight champion of the world, then I believe that he should vacate and move up to Super middleweight, instead of looking to cash out again against Saul Alvarez.

Why should he?

[champion4ever]

Why should he?

Because he has nothing left to prove at Middleweight outside of tying or surpassing Bernard Hopkins' record for most title defenses at that particular weight class?

Is this the new meme? Your not a good boxer unless you move up divisions?

SMH about Haglar.

Golovkin's career up to this point is more like Hopkins prior to his move above the MW division at 41 years old.

So was Hopkins a Puhcee for the 41 years of his life.

Calling any of these guys Puhcees is just dumb.

Agreed on Haglar.

Why should have Golovkin moved up? He hadn't captured all the titles, he just won the WBA title from Jacobs this year. He had the "lineal" champion, though lineal stuff is BS IMO, in Canelo who also happened to be the most money fight he could make. He had infinitely more to gain being the undisputed/unquestioned guy at MW. No one in Golovkin's situation would have jumped up to 168lbs given what he had in front of him. The guy just made more money than 99.9% of boxers will ever make. His popularity and name recognition are more than it ever would be had he moved to 168lbs two years ago.

All boxers are pussies. Internet trolls who call boxers pussies are brave and manly.

And defeating some 168 fighters would be better than getting that record because?
