    Okay so I am the first to defend GGG for what he has done in his career, even could say hey if the man was say 30 fight Rolls just to stay busy,, But, at his age he doesn't have time for a tune up bout,, GGG should be fighting top guys every fight out win or lose,, At this point in his career due to age who cares if he loses just throw him in with top guys,, I as a fan and I am sick of seeing these kind of fights Khan vs Crawford etc.... come on your fighting maybe twice a year and thats the best match ups they can offer us the boxing fans?? So alot of boxing fans claim modern boxers are better sure doesn't look that way to me seems to me to be a bunch of ducks! So many match ups to be made but nowadays every one is worried about losing that perfect record. Who cares fight each other if the fighters wanted the fights they could make it happen.. I know some of you will say thing like the promoters get in the way,, but the truth is these guys don't fight each other because they really don't want to,, It's all for greed they will step in the ring only if the money is right! What happened to the days of pride like when Carmen Basilio moved up in weight to take on Sugar Ray Robinson and win the middleweight title,, Sugar Ray Leonard, Roberto Duran and Thomas Herns all took the challenge of moving up and facing Hagler, Don't care what all the modern boxing fans say these guys nowadays are to greedy and don't have the same fire as champions from the past!

    Moving up in weight isn't a sign of greatness, it's a sign of a body growing...

    Back in the day a loss didnt mean much. Now if you lose you are considered a bum. Golovkin knows this, as I show him the r$tarded BS that some low common denominators on here say about his corrupt losses to Canelo.

    Lmao, I guess Roy Jones went all the way up to heavy weight because of "body growing "?? No he went up for greatness to make history, Duran srl Pacquiao Mayweather ect.. all have done it

    I liked the thread starters post, then I seen it for what it was with yours :cheer:
    Hopkins never moved up until he couldn't do 160, Hagler regarded as the best ever at 160 by a lot, never moved full stop
