Terence Crawford will be 33 this year...

Is 154 a weight class for a belt? If you say you can make 154 from a division above, whom is a Champion, isn’t the obvious context for a title shot at 154? Or else why say it? You mean GGG said 154 to fight contenders?

So now that you understand that... What difference does it make for GGG to fight at a catchweight from 154-160 if he wants a “big money fight.” There’s only three for his time, Floyd, Canelo, and Cotto. So GGG meant contenders instead those big money fight names?
Im trying to help you out here.

Originally posted by GGG Gloveking View PostIt looks like the point you're trying to make is that because other fighters fought at a catch, then Golovkin should be required to do so. My point is that a fight for any belt should occur at the full limit of the division, and that fights between fighters of the same class, should occur at the division in which they both compete.
I disagree with the assertion that just because established A-side fighters do something, then it is acceptable. Case in point, Canelo tested positive for clenbuterol. Just because he did it, and he's an A-side, doesn't make consumption of illegal substances acceptable. I feel the same way about catch-weights. Just because Floyd, Manny, and Canelo do it, doesn't make it right.
Floyd took concessions to fight DLH and that's what propelled him into becoming the richest sports athlete EVER. Not all of boxing, ALL OF SPORTS.
Manny made a gazillion by making concessions to fight DLH and Floyd
Canelo made gazillions by making concessions to fight Floyd and Cotto
When you are calling others out you need to be willing to make concessions. Otherwise you get in line.

Can you believe that shit?

You're right however, Golovkin is an old fighter but people don't see it that way. They expect him to be able to beat champion after champion in his late 30's the same way Floyd did in his late 30's.

And I'm pretty sure Golovkin would have made 154 for the other one...
