GGG's 164 physique vs 160 - ask yourself, which looks more ideal!

[ruedboy]

I just still don't understand why GGG hasn't fought at 168-175 for years.

Look at the muscle definition, destruction, when he's draining. You guys really want to believe HBO's unofficial scale?

A proper GGG at 168-175 looks RIPPED and healthy to fight!

He fights at 160 because he's most comfortable there.
But I'm sure you could convince him that being comfortable aint all that important. :-)

I need only to see the title of the thread to know you wrote it. This must be your 500th thread on this subject. Anybody who has read your posts should know you are as big of Canelo lover and GGG hater as it is possible to be. So if he is drained for his fight tonight you should be thrilled because it increases his chances of losing the fight. You want GGG to lose so much you can taste it. GGG losing tonight is what you are praying for so be happy if he is as weak and drained as you say. If he would fight so much better at 168 I guess he would easily beat Canelo at 168 since he fought him about even twice at 160. Right?

Yeah mean getting that pay... sure... deprive yourself for high dollar why not

golovkin is a big MW, he can barely make the weight these days but after seeing how bad he looked moving up just 4lbs to fight Rolls I don't blame him

[boliodogs]

Don't be naive dude. Proksa compared to GGG looked like Jaime Munguia vs Sadam Ali.

And again, GGG was fighting 3 times a year on HBO. That gives any boxer the opportunity to be a gym rat and grind WHILE MAKING a GREAT PAY! What boxer wouldn't be motivated to have gotten GGG purses as such? Meaning, we didn't get to see GGG's walk around weight in those years like other boxer whom too grind hard but only fight 2 times a year.

HBO unofficial scales was a scam. It's ''unofficial!'' Legally it's not held accountable because there's no official regulation to prove it, and it doesn't make sense how some fighters disclose and others don't. What what do know in boxing is the AVERAGE weight depletion for all fighters is 12-15lbs of water shed. Guys like JCC or Rios vs Alvarado shamed the sport doing 23+lbs of water like UFC fighters when they were on HBO... again ''HBO'' go figure...

And lastly, you know very well that when fighters move up in weights, they have the luxury protocol to acclimate at that weight and he/she will be on a plan to gain as much performance/weight while not overdoing it. You know it's all calibrated.

I think GGG could've already given us great fights at 168. I'm not buying this whole ''168 guys are bigger'' when GGG was bigger than Canelo. When Benavidez for years has been GGG's sparring partner and even picked GGG to beat Canelo... That's Benavidez knowing what GGG can do in the ring and in sparring. So enough with the GGG is small fallacy for 168. He would beat Plant and Dirrell. What isn't GGG allowed to fight behind the jab at 168 while being bigger and still use his defensive IQ in the ring?

The answer is because GGG is a protected fighter and is influenced to choose easy fights. That's the benefit of doubt I give GGG. I could be wrong, it may well be that it's GGG whom tells Loeffler and Abel what to have done.

Somebody doesn't agree with you so they are naive? You are the one who is wrong and doesn't know what the *** you are talking about. You talk like an expert but you are just a know it all who knows nothing. Why would a man who for many years considered the best pfp fighter in the world and is still top 3 to top 7 today kill himself all these years by fighting 8 to 15 pounds below his best fighting weight???? He would not do that and you are wrong and don't know what you are talking about. GGG has real pro trainers and real conditioning experts who would have him fight at 168 if they thought he was draining himself but clearly they don't agree with you the self proclaimed expert.

Jacobs who dwarfs Golivkin only just recently moved to 168. I really don't get this obsession with Golivkin moving up. He makes weight and says he feels good at 160 has excellent stamina and punch resistance. If he he was weight drained it would show up in one or all of those categories.

lil g has a 74 inch reach lol what you mean dwarf, he's also be as tall as DJ if not taller if he didn't have kyphosis.

He barely made the 10lb limit today

Golovkin at 160 is between 12 to 15% body fat.
You can tell this by the way his muscles are defined but not shredded and his lower abs aren't showing.
If he was to move anywhere, I'd say down would be his best option, but at 37 he probably don't want the work needed to get there.
But like he says, he's a natural MW, so why go anywhere?

GGG
says he is very comfortable at middleweight and it's his natural best fighting weight. He says he makes 160 comfortably and easily. He weighed in for today's fight at a half pound under 160 and guys who are killing themselves to make weight come in right at the limit not a half pound under. You say he is killing himself and he says it's his best most comfortable weight so I would believe him over you.

A very wise decision
Playing favorites is for the enlightened ones only

You are just a ****** annoying GGG hater and Canelo ass kisser who starts at least 5 GGG hate threads and 5 more Canelo is so wonderful threads every damn day. There should be a rule against you clogging up the board with these ****** GGG hate threads. Let him fight at any weight he wants to because you are just a dummy and have nothing to say about it anyway. Just go say your prayers that Dervy beats poor drained weakened GGG and your dreams come true.

Stopped reading here. To mention GGG at 167lbs rehydrated versus Proksa whom was a toothpick in size comparison let alone height, then what the hell did Proksa gain after his weigh in? If we say nothing. Is the difference between the two 7lbs? Hells no. Like I said, similar to Munguia vs Sadam Ali.

Nuff said.
