    I dont mind him not moving up and to be fair he was avoided by Cotto and by Canelo for a while

    He's a small 160 by current standards as is, if he were a normal guy he would have started at 147 or even 140 and then moved to 160 later on.

    Regarding the matchmaking, there were certainly a lot of missed opportunities.

    He got ****ed around for years by the likes of Sturm etc. Finally got big working his way up in America. Division is weak but he unifies. Canelo fight comes and he gets jobbed. Rematch comes and is closer - Gennady thinks he got jobbed. Now he's jaded, getting old and only looking for big money fights. That is really the jist of it. His prime was wasted for years in Germany, then he paired up with Sanchez who is a terrible trainer at the top level. A shame really, since GGG had all the tools to dominate the Boxing world, maybe even be an ATG Middle, but it was wasted.

    Canelo uses "enhancements" to achieve success at higher weights. Your statement not withstanding.

    He is filthy rich. He doesn't need anything. He lives in KZ where even 1 million dollars is enough to live comfortably your entire life.

    Cotto was never going to be big enough to face GGG. Canelo? Different guy and different build.

    False. Clenelo is shorter, but he's built like a brick house. Clenelo looks strong and powerful at both 168 and 175. Golovkin would look like a fat ass.
