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

[boliodogs]

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.g.

He barely made the 10lb limit today

GGG haters like you give themselves away by calling him lil g. Only GGG haters call him lil g. All that BS you are spouting doesn't make a damn bit of difference. All that matters is how he preforms in his fight with Dervy tonight. So join the TR in rooting for GGG to get KOed and don't worry about the other BS because it's not your problem. GGG weighed in at 159.5 so he made weight and is good to go and that is all haters need to know.

Lol? He has a 70 inch reach. Lying *****.

I didnt realize he was fighting at 164. What is even the purpose of that?

He just didnt want to cut 4 extra pounds? Hes really that lazy?

What the hell are you talking about? No title was at stake. Most champions fight a few pounds over he limit in non title fights. How many fights did Canelo have at 155 and not 154. He made the weight of 164 that both Rolls and he agreed to. He was not lazy so what's your problem?

Trash thread, you would get knocked the f out if you brought this up in my golovkin fan club in real life

You have agreed with me for months that GGG beats anyone at 168. How does your imagination go from there to saying he’s fine at 160? In real, a street fight, anything goes, not weight constraints. Why don’t you acknowledge that GGG can do great things at 168?

Look at the weighins. GGG looks good at 164, he should attempt 168 and feel better. You think GGG can’t fight behind the jab at 168 or continue great defense there?

lol lil g said he's a small MW, he gave himself his own nickname. lil g barely made the 10lb rehydration limit, this guy is a weight bully.

When hbo was doing the weight check before Golovkin’s fights he was coming in 168-170. Anyone care to guess what Smith or Benavides are in the ring at? I’d guess 185+

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.

Ok. So you got an opinion. You reasoning seems to be that in your estimation Golovkin looks like a SMW and is looking kind of drained at 160. Fair enough. To me he doesn't particularly, he just looks like an average sized MW and was probably on the smallish size when he came to the US. You're saying the HBO unofficial figures may have been cooked and for all I know you're right, but instead of any more credible numbers you offer... pure speculation. Til I got something more substantial I think I'll just hold on to my opinion man, but thanks for your efforts to enlighten me..

TBH not even sure why it's an issue... I'd like to see him fight a decent SMW whether he's still healthy at 160 or no, I just don't see any particular reason for him to move up just for the sake of it.

Just as an aside weight cutting is probably best taken as a percentage of total body mass (ie bigger guys should be able to cut more) but the 12 -15Lbs you mention seems to be a fairly good estimate for a MW/JMW though there's been numerous reports (again unofficially) of JMWs coming to the ring in the low 170s. It's generally understood that younger guys are able to healthily cut more and anecdotally 30 is about the age at which weight cutting becomes much more difficult... which is kinda bourne out by the number of guys who go up in weight at that age.

He fought Rolls at 164 cos Rolls was coming from 168... and yeah, probably cos he didn't want to have to do a full cut for what was basically a tune up. Tonight's fight is at 160.

Wait at fight night GGG is 164? Am i reading this correctly or did i misconstrue this statement?
