    He's a definitely in a no-win situation with a lot of people.

    The record means nothing to me, but I can understand why he wants to break it.

    I'd just like to see him fight Eubank, BJS, Jacobs and Canelo.

    can someone show me proof....that lara is contractually bound to showtime?

    I cant find it...I know he has a relationship with them....and works with them....but ive found no proof he has a multi fight deal with them....

    he could be on a fight to fight basis/deal.....

    People have a problem with Golovkin being a middleweight obviously know nothing of boxing history.

    Some people are at a certain weight class for their whole career because that's just the way their bodies are.
    Hagler and Monzon being examples of two great Middleweights.

    Eleven years smashing tomato cans is more than enough to take the decission of moving up ONE single weight. ELEVEN YEARS smashing tomato cans. This is the true record of ggg, nobody will break it in a millenium at least.

    EDIT: not even chávez smashed such amount of cans.

    Yeah, that involves critical thinking. Most of these guys just run on emotion and knee-jerk reactions.

    Bernard spent 12 years at MW, that included 4 years even after he'd obtained all of the belts. That was while there was better competition at SMW-LHW.

    He's also bigger than GG, at 6'1, with a 75" reach.

    :good

    I haven't said eleven years at MW. I've said eleven years SMASHING TOMATO CANS. Do you know the difference? or you need further explanation?
