    Afraid of Margarito yet moved up in weight to fight De La Hoya. Andre Ward did the same right?, he was so petrified of Golovkin, he moved up from Super Middleweight to Light Heavyweight to fight Kovalev!. :lol: That's the type of mentality Golovkin's team targeted on twitter, and they clearly did a good job. You are the proof.

    In your deluded imagination only. We will never know of course, because Golovkin decided it's safer to stay at Middleweight and devour hopeless bums.

    He weighed at the exact limit during the weigh-in. That's all that matters. If he was doing anything illegal by being a "weight bully" he would have been penalized for it. Find something else to complain about. The real bully is the guy that explodes into arenas as a 1/100 favorite over bums.

    It’s funny how people say GGG doesn’t have o move up for Ward, yet want to criticize Canelo who was a Jr MW at the time for calling GGG out on his 154-168 garbage, 155 or 154.5 it’s no middleweight fight the Cotto situation was unique an don’t see how you can fault him, but dude told ggg straight up if you wanna make a catchweight we can fight now if you want 160 you have to wait. GGG tried to be a diva instead of doing what literally every great fighter has done, and ended up losing anyway.

    They are serious for Lara.when Golovkin fights that level of apponents he blows them out, at which point you call them bums.

    I would trust the world class professional boxers that have actually been in there with him, like Shane Mosley,Martin Murray ,George Groves,Tony Harrison,Sergiy Kovalev,Kell brook, over a hating no it all little key board warrior any day. These guys make what you say completely irrelevant.

    I never said Ward ran from Golovkin, but this couldn't attract flies fighter who greatly out sized Golovkin wanted Golovkin to stop everything he was doing, jump up to 168lbs and fight him in a now or never type of situation.

    Your pretending he is a blown up jr middleweight when he in naturally as big as GGG. Canelo isn't fighting at light heavyweight and super middleweight now because he is a hero. Its because this weight comes naturally. So you are bull s******* as usual to make a point.

    Golovkin is a bit over rated. Partially because he was content to take on a resume of opponents for most of his career that Sven Ottke, and Felix Sturm, would be proud of. When he finally stepped up his level of opposition, he was no longer the boogey man. He had problems with Jacobs, Canelo, and Derevyenchenko, and fought fairly one dimensionally against all three. While I believe he would have pounded Jermain Taylor, and Sergio Martinez. I could see Golovkin having a tough fight with the Pavlik that beat Miranda, and Taylor, and I could see Pirog outboxing him. So yeah Golovkin is a bit over rated. No way in hell would he have beaten Hagler, Leonard, Hopkins, Jones Jr. or Toney at middleweight.

    What was Golovkin doing at 160 at the time that was more significant than daring to be great? It's amazing how Golovkin's shitty opposition gets hyped by his fanboys. Most of those dudes were horrible, Lemieux inlcuded.

    I think I'm beginning to understand the problem. Golovkin has the power and ability of a powerful elite super middleweight while actually being a natural middleweight. So when matched up against middleweight contenders and in some cases jr middleweight contenders coming up, it results in another GGG blow out. Mosley even says he hits like a light heavyweight. So this makes sense, but going up to a weight that his body doesnt feel comfortable at and giving up alot of weight to the apponent on the day of the fight is still his option. If he fought at supermiddle most of his apponents would be coming on fight night at around 185 to 190 lbs.So basically most the haters complaints are that Golovkin is just too good for his own weight division which lead to 20 title defenses with 18 by KO. So Golovkin is a little under rated because he should have one to two victories over the consensus number one pound for pound boxer today and that impressive 20 defenses (18) by KO.

    That offer was more of a formality. He knew it was inconvenient and that he was tired of making 168lbs, so I think he got the result he was looking for. Ward is a little jealous of Golovkins success and people's loved for knockouts so he came up with the nickname little- G because he was so much bigger than Golovkin.

    If their level was high, they wouldn't be 1/50 underdogs. They can fool you with their twitter hype for these joke fights, but they sure as hell won't fool me.

    Yes, of course you will believe Kell Brook. He was one of the Welterweights your legendary hero called out for a payday.

    Yes, Ward is definitely a crook for calling out a smaller guy. But Golovkin is a hero for calling out Welterweights and Jr. Middleweights. :lol:
