ggg vs mayweather at 154

I only deal with facts. I will link you back to an article on this very site:

[url]https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.boxingnews24.com/2016/03/hearn-wants-golovkin-kell-brook-catch-weight-157/amp/[/url]

Hearn and Loeffler had been in talks regarding a potential GGG-Brook bout for months before it was actually made, and the catchweight had already been refused point blank. Loeffler told Hearn Golovkin would not fight at a catchweight. It’s all there in writing.

Multiple fighters have made concessions to fight GGG, yet he has never afforded another fighter the same privilege.

 

Facts?!?! this again... OK..3G was the one with all the belts. NOW...Why does the champ need to go down in weight to meet his challenger?

And i take it you are perfectly fine with CW title fights? Once upon a time NO ONE on this board liked them... yet here we are. Wonder what changed that....

 

Yes, facts, not your fanboy drivel. Kell Brook was a world champion himself. This demonstrates how GGG was never willing to leave 160, all that 154-168 talk was utter nonsense. Wouldn’t even give up 2 lbs against a welterweight.

 

C'mon Charlie....this has nothing to do with being fanboy. You know damn well a champion doesn't need to adhere to a challenger's CW request for a title fight. You know that and would adhere to it had it been a fave of yours. Lets not lie to ourselves.

No, that fight does not indicate that. That's the conclusion you come to when a challenger wants a CW for a title fight??! Like I said, you haters try too hard to just blatantly hate.

No one wants CW title fights. You know that.

 

fun fact: Golovkin offered Gabriel Rosado a catchweight below 160.

 

You are ignoring content by this member.

 

GGG said he would take any big fight between 154-168, yet for a 147 world champ it was 160 or nothing. It turned out to be a disingenuous statement, that is all.

 

I know what he said. Andf!!? That means he should make a title fight a CW to appease the few of you? Goof lord... Charlie bear.. we both know Brook was a late replacement as well. You are trying like a mofo to hate on 3G about this. 99% of posters here have said CW title fights SHOULD NOT HAPPEN. And here we are with you .....

 

I think it would be 50/50 at 154lb.

 

@Charles Dance ... So you are perfectly OK with title fights being set at CW's. Why? Don't you believe they should be able to fight at the limit of which they are defending their titles?

 

When it is 2 champions at different weights surely there must be fair compromise. GGG claimed he’d go down to 154 for big fights but when push came to shove he refused to give up 2lbs. Those there are the facts.

 

Why would Gennady be interested in a Headbutting Ball busting Dirty Fighter like Ward ?? GGG is a Middleweight a 160 pounder Ward couldnt even get down to 168 let alone 160 anyway. One thing for certain though , theres no way Mayweather would have the cojones to ever get in the ring with GGG not even in Vegas. The way he pooped his britches when he saw Tony standing there proves that. That whole room was laughing at him he was terrified

 

And when has that happened? Give me a break..tons of boxers have moved up from where they held a belt to face a champ in the upper division. And yet, the weight limits are where the smaller guy moves.

3G said he's fight Floyd at 154 WHEN ASKED BY A REPORTER. It was never a real challenge. And even despite that, all the floyd nuthuggers decided to hate 3G because he was asked about Floyd.

Nice "facts"

 

Lance my dear chap I don’t know why you are taking this so personally. I will remove myself from the conversation for fear of further upset.

 

i'm not taking it personally. There's no reason to even suggest that. Other than you are taking a beating in this, need something to distract.

Besidres, I asked WHEN that has happened. How often has that happened? I know you will not even attempt to answer these questions to your claim.

You think it's "Taking it personal" to believe a champion does not need to meet a lower weight opponent at a title fight. And that's all this is about really. You felt the need to 'go there' since you have no real argument. Sorry Charlie... 99% of the board has expressed hatred for CW title fights over the years. But because it's 3G.. you do this. LIke I said, you try waaay tooo hard. So sure, remove yourself... you have nothing of substance anyway.
