    Fighting bigger weaker fighters is not how one has a great career. If we go back 4,5 years that could be the case.

    Mw and lhw are so far better than smw, smw is the weakest division in boxing and one of the all time weakest as of now

    Gennady is already great . He'd the best in the world 168 & under. The way the so called elite 160 pounders avoid him speaks volumes. I heard El Pollo lays an egg if anyone mentions his name

    Slappy is not worth being in the same sentence as GGG
    Answer me this?...... How the hell can Gennady beat the supposed best middleweights when they are all scared to get in the ring with him??? Takes TWO to make a fight.
    BTW If Wade legitimately beats Gennady I'll be the first to congratulate him & call him CHAMP !! He's already got my respect for showing he has the cojones El Pollo & Pretty in Pink etc lack :clap: :clap:

    I think it's naive to think Andre would have fought him regardless of the weight.

    "I think it's naive to think Andre would have fought him regardless of the weight."

    I don't think andre would have fought him at 164...which is my point...ggg saying 164 was a surefire way to ensure the fight couldn't happen....of course andre wouldn't have fought him at 164....168 would have been tough for ward but he would have done it for that fight.....

    that's why k2s statements were two fold....one they threw out a weight they knew ward wouldn't accept and then they said "well ya...anyways...maybe 2017"

    Floyd definitely had more courage because he wasn't afraid to fight bigger men. In your little world, you think that Floyd having long arms, somehow negates this size and weight advantages that he's faced. Liek Ive told you a thousand times, height, reach and other dimensions are criteria in seperating fighters. No sanctioning body is going to say, "well they are within 10lbs of each other, but fighter A's arms are too long so its not fair". That's nonsense and thats essentially the crux of your argument.

    But I can play along too. Since you want to throw height and and reach in there as excuses for why GGG shouldn't move up in weight like Floyd, lets throw Punching power in there. When's the last time GGG fought someone with more punching power than himself? Floyd in addition to being outweighed, has been at a disadvantage in terms of punching power for virutally all of his fights at WW and 154. So not only is he not afraid to fight bigger men with weight advantages, but's he not afraid to fight bigger men who punch harder than him.

    Bottom line, no matter what type of skewed logic you want to use, Floyd has shown more courage in his career and dared to be great by moving up and challenging humself against larger men. Thats why he's an ATG. GGG will be lucky to make the hall because he's afraid to move up and challenge himself and his resume is a joke.
