    Why can't GGG do this? why not jump to 175 and fight the winner of Kovalev-Ward? that would be a huuuuugggge fight

    GGG cannot do this because he isn't 40 years old.

    Seriously, what a terrible thread.

    Just think about what you've typed.

    (unless you were just trolling as a joke)

    Hopkins also unified the middleweight division and made the record number of title defences at middleweight before he did it.

    Yet you seem to have a big problem with GGG wanted to complete the same goals? :think

    How in the **** is GGG going to beat bigger men when it took him 11 rounds to beat Martin Murray who stopped fighting back in the 5th round?

    How would he "RUN" through Mayweather exactly?

    I think he'd have a good chance of beating the lineal champ at 175. He'd be a live underdog against Ward and I wouldn't completely rule out the possibility of him beating Kovalev either. Having said that I don't think he should even try anything like that until he has become the man at 168 first (he's already the man at 160).

    Hopkins was never touted as a knock out artist who could destroy a heavy weight.

    It's weird how people will berate GGG for not moving to 175 when he isn't close to retirement but don't care one bit about people who defend Hagler for not going to 175.

    The people who slag him for it are the people who don't lie his skin colour. They champion Hopkins for unifying at middleweight and making the record defenses, but hate on GGG for having the same goals.

    hypocrites. It's hard being a Bhop, Canelo, and GGG fan during these times.

    Because he is a real n-word. Unlike other titlists that shall remain nameless.
