    Has Stevens, Geale, Proska, Adama fought at 154 lbs?

    They may be former 154 lbs fighters but Ring Magazine had Macklin top 5, Geale Top 2 and Stevens and Proska 10.

    Just checked Geale last fought at 154 lbs in 2007 and Macklin won a British title at 160 lbs in 2009 they where well adjusted to the weight when GGG fought them.

    How many fighters stay in one division there whole careers?

    Adama has some success when he was able to back GGG up. You either have to be a good counter puncher or back this guy up ,he doesn't fight well backing up and leaves himself open alot.

    He still has business to take care of at MW. Let him at least try and get the fights to unify.

    Nothing wrong with that.

    Alvarez will be up at MW soon enough. Cotto is there right now. There are good fights out there for him at the weight.

    As boxers age, their ability to cut weight decreases so they tend to move up. Every boxer has a unique body and at this point in time it appears that Golovkin makes the MW weight limit easily, so why would he move up until he cleared up and division and unified the belts? An all time middleweight great Bernard Hopkins moved up from middleweight when he was 41 years old.

    In his extended amateur career he fought in smaller divisions. He was at 154 for a while.

    Alot of them hAd beeb 160 fighters for some time and were still fairly easily stopped

    I was a little unsure of GGG until last night.. Geale is no joke. But GGG made him look levels below... GGG best 160 fighter
