Golovkin is just not a natural 168 pounder

    Don't see how that relates to my post that you quoted.

    If you don't think GGG should fight JMWs then you don't think Froch, Ward (SMWs) etc should fight GGG (not a particularly big MW)

    Floyd fans are so insecure in this thread.

    These two should never fight, GGG is way too big. Floyd isn't even a natural 147 pounder, much less 154. No one actually thinks this fight would ever happen. Also, comparing a pure boxer moving up in weight with a puncher/stalker moving up in weight is totally different.

    Floyd moved up 5 weight classes? Yeah, his body adjusted well and his style is the perfect style to move up with. It is absolutely different for a puncher/stalker style.

    GGG does not need to go up in weight to gain recognition as suggested by the OP. It's time for others in his weight class to step up and meet the challenge of fighting him in the ring. No need to go to 168 as there are enough fighters at 160 to take him on.

    I dont understand this double standard. Floyd just takes care of his body, he could easily still make 140 if he wanted to. EASILY.

    People are trying to make it seem like GGG is a little guy. He's 5'10. He's not 5'7 or 5'8. or even 5'6. He's 5'10.

    5'10 is more then enough height to go up in weight. Plenty of stalkers/punchers have gone up in weight.

    All the way from Pacquiao to Duran.

    GGG just needs to stop talking about how he'd fight "anyone from 154 to 168" and just do it already.

    Kessler beats him too he's getting way overhyped but remember the middleweight division isn't as good as many like to deceive with.

    He isn't going to have the same effect with that power at 168 against any of the top 5 guys these guys can take big punches all night long.

    I'll put my neck out and say Ward Froch Kessler Stevenson all TKO GGG.

    Kessler got beat by Calzaghe and Ward so you don't necessarily need power to beat him.
    Anyway, I don't see why GGG can't carry his power up with him, enough of it at least. Hopkins wasn't a big punching MW, he dropped Calzaghe (decent chin) at 175. Did MW Jermaine Taylor hit harder than GGG? He dropped Carl Froch at 168. Pacquiao took his power up in weight. Trinidad could still hit at MW etc.
    Another thing, GGG isn't just power. He has some skill.
    And Stevenson is a LHW.

    It's funny how 5'8 Mayweather and 5'7 Broner have to constantly "prove themselves" against bigger fighters....but....5'10 Golovkin is this little bitty guy that can't move up because him too small and precious.

    Ain't that a bi.tch.


    They are THIRSTY for a hero...anybody....from anywhere....long as he's not a Brother...:deal:deal:deal

    No **** the hypocrisy disgust me. PBF can move up to 154 when he's already moved up from 130 but GGG is too small and can't do it and it's not fair. Fcuk that ****.

    They are THIRSTY...flat out parched.

    Matheysse just bogged down on them.
    Maidana is about to get DeMarco'd

    They are down to THREE heroes....

    GG
    Kovalev
    Provodnikov

    That is why they don't want GG to challenge himself.
