    ok your rational here

    I dont feel he ducked ward but if any guy had a real chance of beating GGG it was ward everyone else stands no chance TBH

    That much i agree

    The best example of the "multiple weight" divisions is Pacquiao. He was fighting so-called pro village fighters at 15. The jump from cruiserweight to heavyweight in pounds is equal to 7 divisions in the little men divisions Pacquiao fought in.

    It would of been a great fight i still hope it can happen in the future ward beating Kovalev would make it even bigger

    As one of GGGs biggest fans i have to be honest the only fighter i would be really worried about fighting GGG is andre ward.

    The rest of them would not pose problems but with ward it would be a very very hard fight for Golovkin and one he could lose.

    Where do you draw the line @ 168? because plenty of 175lbers would tear him up

    I don't see the obsession in asking someone to move up tbh.

    It's like a legacy enhancer, not a stick to beat someone with.

    If he moves up now we can say he never beat the best MW, and that kinda wastes his career.

    If he stays around and get a chance against the best fighters in his division at least then we'll know how good he really is.

    But nevertheless fought them by 24 years age, what is the 34 year old doing?

    Wow!! A young, popular Mexican fighter who signed with one of the top three boxing promoters got a bunch of fights he needed while a foreigner wasn't quite as able? Weird...that never happens. :roll:

    Golovkin is a career middleweight. He was a middleweight in amateurs, too. He fought at 165lbs (but they're same day weigh ins).

    Golovkin has good fights on the horizon to redeem himself - Derevyanchenko being the main name.

    10 years man, that's a long time to play the lowly foreigner without a business deal game!

    And this justifies why he shouldn't move up to 168 and should fight welterweights?
