Golovkin Throws a Hat for a Mayweather

Triple Golovkin is a ''big bully'' for calling out the smaller Floyd but B-Hop who used to routinely call out smaller fighters and ones from divisions below when he was MW champ wasn't? Not only that but he expected them to move up in weight and even lobbied the likes of Larry Merchant to join him in accusing them of being cowards and ''chickens'' on live TV if they refused to accept his challenge.

Golovkin, who has always been extremely respectful and polite about all of his opponents/potential opponents, isn't requesting, demanding or expecting Floyd to move up in weight to his division or one he's never fought at before or meet him at a catch-weight like B-Hop did with all those fighters from lower divisions he used to call out. He's always maintained that he'd move down to 154 for that fight, ie. the division where Floyd was not long ago the unified champion at.

And where was all the hate for B-Hop and Ward when they both called out Floyd a while back? They're SMWs and LHWs, divisions which are even higher, two in B-Hop's case, than Golovkin's which is only one above the division that Floyd was the unified champion in until fairly recently. Why aren't they ''big bullies'' when they're naturally bigger than Golovkin is and were both expecting Floyd to move up to 160?

Apparently it's a much graver sin for a MW to call out Floyd even though they've never once suggested he should move up in weight to a division he's never fought at to fight him than it is for LHWs and SMWs to do so and expect Floyd to come up to 160.

It's also a much graver sin for to call out a smaller fighter in a very respectful manner (usually when posed the question if he wanted the fight) than it is for the likes of B-Hop to routinely call out smaller fighters on live TV and expect them to move up in weight (which was a calculated ploy on his part to put them at a disadvantage), and call them chickens and publicly accuse them of being cowards if they said no.

Bernard Hopkins: ''I could've fought three weight classes 4 or 5 years ago''

Larry Merchant: ''You suggested that you could've moved up in weight several years ago''

Bernard Hopkins: ''About 5 or six years ago I could've moved up''

Larry Merchant: ''Why didn't you?''

Bernard Hopkins: ''Well, there was more money down at the small weights and the risk was minimum to going up to fight the big boys''

"At the end of the day, if I can get a guy to a weight class where I know he's not used to or hasn't been in - why wouldn't I take that advantage or take that chance.

Quite. They can't see it though because they're all caught up in the FOG ie. Fear of Golovkin lol
