GGG needs to do what Hopkins did- have another 16 fights at Middleweight before moving up

    Can you imagine the drama that would unfold by the GGG haters if he had to fight Robert Allen 3 times?

    Robert Allen is Proksa type level of opposition.

    I'd be surprised if GGG even has 16 more fights.

    :smoking:

    3G has 7 defences but he will get to 21 with a late rally this year.

    He could take it old school and fight 4-6 times a year, clean out the division completely or he could move up! I never said he ducked anyone or the level of opposition was his fault. He's doing exactly what he is supposed to do with the level of comp put in front of him. He is a damn good fighter and if the good fights don't materialize at 160 then he should move up! I think he'd do very well at 168.

    Hey troll, that WBA strap is the same belt Hagler wore. Hagler wore it long before the IBF strap.

    Its just as if not more valid a title. If you are counting Hopkins' IBF defenses, you have to count Golovkin's WBA. WBA is a much older orginization descended from the NBA, the original governing body. Learn your history.

    Anyone that's a ppv fight. Why the trolls ignore this most important aspect of your fav quote. At least get it right, for once

    Fyi: you're not the "boxing world" the record books show ggg closing in on the ALL TIME defense record.

    Also, ggg has a far greater mw legacy compared to hops. If ggg wanted to stoop to hops mw level he'd had multiple rematch against wade, Monroe and Stevens. At least 2x with Monroe having 3 opportunities vs ggg.

    You have to learn to live with the facts, ggg will own the mw records. Every single one that matters

    This troll is acting like the IBF title is legit and the WBA isn't. The WBA is pretty much the oldest title around, it's lineage traced back to the NBA. The IBF was started in 1983 because Larry Holmes decided he wanted to fight chumps to chase Maricano's record.

    Only a biased idiot troll would claim Hopkins' run was legit but GGG's wasn't.

    if you mean me, you need to quote where i mentioned the wba belt.

    Until you do, you are an idiot.

    Once you vilify your statement, I'm the idiot.

    Proceed.
