I'm not a triple g nut hugger, I'm realistic. Moving up to 168 will humanize him. Kind of like Duran over 154 limit. I would expect him to lose 50 percent of his big fights. Boxing needs the boogie man and he can dominate 160 for at least another year. We also have guys at 154 that will have to move up soon and make the 160 division interesting . As long as he's not pretending he wants Ward , I'm game for him staying at 160 and keeping the KOs coming
Middleweight is the historic prestige division so a strong dominate champion who is natural at the weight SHOULD definitely stay there. :good
He still has business at 160lbs. If a fight with the winner of Cotto/Canelo can be made then he should stay at 160lbs before considering moving up.
yep, currently one of the few divisions that has a realistic possiblitiy of seeing all the belts unified
If he beats Lemieux he should at least try to fight the Cotto vs Canelo winner, the Jacobs vs Quillin winner or Andy Lee @160 next year if all these fight are not possible he should move up to 168
If Golovkin beats Cotto/Canelo, Jacobs/Quillin, Lee, and Lemieux, where would you rank him all time at MW?
It's not good for boxing especially when Cotto or Canelo won't fight him and he won't fight Ward. I guess beating guys like Lemiuex and Lee is really great for the sport instead of a fight between two undefeated guys like Ward and GGG???:-(
GGG can't pretend everyone is ducking him if he himself is not willing to go up in weight to fight a name like Ward. It doesn't help him and it doesn't help boxing to not have big fights get made. He was never going to get the Floyd fight and the Cotto/Canelo winner is questionable. If he can legitimately get the Ward fight at 168, he should take it.
Outside of Ward there is no one worth anything is super middleweight. Besides HBO is working on Ward vs Kovalev. Triple G should unify middleweight. Lemieux, Lee and Canelo/Cotto winner are all good fights. Leave the best man standing as a unified champion.
He is great for the MW division. Next two years are very interesting (Quillin, Lee, Lemieux, Canelo, Cotto, Charlo, Eubank Jr, Lara), if he gets past Lemieux. I have a feeling it´s not going to be easy.
GG is the poor man's Broner. Once he steps in weight like Broner did he'll get exposed. Except Broner has proven he has a great Heart. I don't think Golovkin has as much heart as AB.
