According to some, his opponent who weighed in under the MW limit, may have up to 20 pounds on him on fight night. Do you think GGG could make 154? If yes do you believe he could still perform as well at 154? Do you believe weight will be a factor tonight or is GGG used to opponents this size as he has been a MW his entire career?
Weight will not matter if Golovkin fights better than Jacobs or if Jacobs is afraid to engage. Golovkin is a natural MW, with that being said, he should not go to 154 not even for Floyd unless he plans on cashing out totally. ODLH did that for Pacquiao and the results were absolute slaughter. Oscar had not weighed 147 for 9 years and it showed on fight night that he was drained. If anybody is gonna beat Golovkin let it be in a fair fight.
A couple of years ago, yes. Not anymore. Golovkin has put on weight to become a bigger MW and that train has left.
