The sudden rush to 168

[mvooom]

For years, fans have been saying GGG should go to 168 for whatever reason - to protect 155lb Canelo or simply to see GGG challenge himself because MW was so weak.

You GGG fans shut off the thought saying GGG is too small (too small to move up, too big to come down).

Now MW is stacked full, suddenly there is a strong urge for GGG to go to 168 if no Canelo rematch.

Isn't he small anymore?

I haven't heard one person say he should move up. You're trying way too hard pal

That is a recent thread choked full with people saying he should move up straight from the first page.

Have you seen Charlo? They are running away from the lion's den!

I don't see a contradiction anywhere... The reason for Golovkin to stay at 160 for so long was an obvious plan to fight Canelo in a big money fight. In two fights with Canelo he's made over $50M combined, money he'd never come close to sniffing if he moved up to 168, regardless of how successful he might've been up there.

His strategy was obvious and it clearly paid off big for him.

Was this alleged talk of wanting ggg to move to 168 before or after Canelo announced his next fight will take place there?

No but seriously, I don't think either is ducking Jermall...BUT he is considered High Risk/Low Reward at the moment but he can flip them moving up to take fights at 168 as them ducking him which will build up his Profile even more

Gotta see him more though, gotta get active and I'm sure the Network Deals will help with that starting December and going into next year
