Broner can move up *two* weight classes but Bum-love-kin can't move up one?!?

    Yeah and look what happened to Broner who's seen as more of a caricature then a world level boxer. GGG isn't letting it get to his head or inviting hubris like Broner did.

    There were no big name opponents at 135 at the time Broner was there which likely capped his earning potential. He was also a fairly large light weight so moving up made complete sense.

    There are names out there for GGG at 160, which btw is a weight that seems to fit his proportions. Those guys just need to get in the ring with him.

    Broner was cutting 15 lbs at 135, GGG is cutting 10 at 160. That's almost twice the % of body weight.

    Yeah that was a really wise move. Move up two divisons then get the **** beat out of him Golovkin should emulate that amazingly smart move fron the genious that is Broner.

    But by your logic ggg is better than Broner.. therefore he should face a better caliber of champ. Right?

    You just admitted that GGG's resume is a joke. :lol: Green isn't a top opponent, he's definitely decent. You can take him off that list and the list would still look even better.
