Golovkin is too small for 168

It just really doesn't matter. A couple of inches doesn't make up for a deficit in skill and talent, which everybody @ SMW except Ward faces versus Golovkin.

Hell, there are six foot and up middleweights.

Half of Golovkin's last ten opponents at MW have been taller: Murray, Adama, Ishida, Rosado, & Proksa. Of the remainder, four were more or less the exact same height. The only time he really had a significant height advantage was Stevens (and that was among the relatively harder nights @ the office)

Too much is made of the height, methinks.

 

Height alone, yes. Andy Lee at 6 foot 2 inches is taller than Froch and Ward but you can tell he is a natural middleweight. Why? The dude is skinny. Froch, Groves, and especially Ward have much bigger frames than a typical tall middleweight like Andy Lee. GGG faces taller but also naturally bigger men when facing off with the current elite at Supermiddleweight. Can he beat them all with his talent? Maybe, Maybe Prime Hagler beats Spinks back in the day, but it really makes little sense to fight out of your natural weight division when your boxing division is the second most prestigious in boxing.

 

Most prestigious historically yes but currently barren of top guys he either hasn't battered already or aren't ducking him. :conf

The move up makes sense - and the counterargument that he's too "small" for 168lb just doesn't hold much water. I don't see anybody there with the combined brawn and skill to make for an impossible assignment for GGG.

 

Spot on there. :thumbsup

 

Mayweather fights at his WALK AROUND WEIGHT, but the Golovkunts are constantly whining about why he won't fight their idol. So what's the difference?

 

Wasn't Ward going to be Heavyweight Champion by dethroning the Klitschko's by the age of 32?

Can't post links yet so just google it.

 

GGG : "We will FIGHT anyone from 154>168"

Reporter : "How about Andre Ward?"

GGG/His Team : "We ain't ready for this man"

:hi:

 

for real ggg fans are a joke!! go watch some wwe or ufc suckers

 

GGG is the best fighter in the world, bar none.

 

This isn't a right quote, go ahead and look back at your post, I know reading comprehension ain't your strongest suit but try really hard. I assume because you posted this you couldn't find anything.

 

Abel Sanchez said he brought Kovalev in to spar with him, and Kovalev was so scared, they had to send him home after a few rounds.

Kovalev said GGG was the best he's ever been in the ring with.

 

All the Golovurds terrified he won't be the bully boy at 168 that he is at 160.

He is clearly stronger and more powerful than any other MW out there.

GGG is a talent , you can't take that away from him , but his fanboi's are pathetic.

They don't want to see him challenged. Thats all it comes down to.

 

Got to love video proof, straight from the horse's mouth.
