When Ward beat Kova twice, the Krusher fans nor industry bothered to create a narrative that Ward needed to fight Adonis Stevenson for an Undisputed LHW bout. What was Ward’s reason or priority to prove to the public that beating Stevenson was a mandate for LHW accomplishment?
Since you really can’t grind Heavyweights to “move up” they are blessed with inclusive limit, this is why Joshua vs Wilder has its purity from a classic perspective.
We all know Golovkin had the opportunity to be like Ward and prove to be P4P by taking risks like Eubank Jr. and move up. they said nobody wanted to fight him at 160 with whatever bogus time frame while also pulling the “nobody to fight” at 168 all when their camp said such a weight was easy with his own trainer saying he could even fight Kovalev at 175... so what’s with the milking at 160 for so many years?
Then we’ve got Lara, who could dare himself to be great at 160, but is also milking 154 as did the Charlos. Then we’ve got a Spence who is the same size as Brook, where’s both fighters are bigger than Cotto yet haven’t fought at 160 because PBC wants to control 147-160. So Haymon has strategically locked these weights for branding gain. Seeing how the Charlos used Lara and Spence for sparring, yes we see the conflict of interest between affiliated camps where are all parties have been ducking.
Spence is the biggest and most talented “Welterweight” but in reality he has highjacked the 147 division when he should be calling out Lara. Notice the Texas crews don’t call each other out.
This is the main reason why Porter and Garcia don’t like Spence’s settlements because they can’t say the strategy. It is what it is. IF you can make the weight fine, but Spence has no reason to be at 147 trying to be Undisputed. He can challenge himself at 154 if he’s the truth. Same thing with Golovkin. GGG fans would say that he would’ve won the WBSS had he been in it.
This is why Floyd’s accomplishments are unparalleled.
