    Right. With a bigger man and a bigger puncher named Kovalev. If he beats Hopkins the way he should.. Be the first one to knock him out or hurt him pretty badly as we know he has the power to do so, it'll be the end of Hopkins career anyways.

    At any rate I don't think GGG should have to fight Hopkins, Kovalev, Ward, etc. GGG fights at 160, Ward fights at 168, Hopkins/ Kov fight at 175. GGG needs to try to clean out 160 first, he could beat Cotto for a big payday, Canelo will have to move up soon enough and we could see them 2, if Quillin would ever fight him he could be the first to stop him, try to lure Mayweather in to a catchweight (though I don't think theres time).
    Not sure why he needs to move to 168 or 175. If he feels like testing himself there thats up to him, but I'd stay right where Im at for now cuz he isn't even a HUGE 160 pounder or anything.

    Don't forget what Golovkin once said that he'll fight anyone from 154 to 168. Everyone of us heard that clearly, didn't we?

    However, GGG has not done what he said yet.

    Na he's just making excuses for his hero. There is nothing uncommon for guys to fight other guys around their weight division. Cotto, Mayweather, Pac, Marquez, Bradley, and even Bernard Hopkins have all fought guys above their weight.
    He knows what will happen if Golovkin ever ventures out off the middleweight division where he's accustomed to fighting blown up welterweights. Cotto and Canelo will never give him a short. Cotto and Canelo will fight themselves and move to bigger and better things.

    Reading minds a lot eh? GGG signed his part of the deal ($2m) with Chavez Jr to fight at 168 with $1m penalty if Jr doesn't make weight, it's a well known fact.

    Continue with these cheap shots, they don't have an impact other than to further contribute to GGG's popularity.

    Dude why you getting all butt hurt over my comment. I responded to the post like everyone else. Ya, he was quick to sign the Chavez deal because Chavez is a punching bag, Brian Vera proved it, but was quiet like a church mouse when a certain fighter at 168 brought up despite saying that he will fight anyone between 154 -175.

    I disagree. Triple Duck has been fighting the 154lb'ers. No 168lb'er yet, if ever...

    You guys are being unfair to Sanchez. He clearly meant Golovkin would fight anyone at that weight range at his own preferred weight. Clearly Hopkins and Ward have been ducking GGG by not draining down for him, not the other way around.

    Of course and he's foolish enough to think he has that much in the tank
    Great fighter that could go into coma

    B-Hop is too slick, too experienced, too smart, too crafty, and too big for the little 160lb GGG. GGG should stick to fighting his own size before he gets taken to school by B-Hop.
