    Then what are Jacobs, Saunders, Eubank, Lemieux, Andy Lee, Quillin all of whom weighed in well above 160 unlike GGG before?

    Wtf even your delusional website had GGG above 170? are you illiterate?

    Quillin and Eubank are probably even bigger than GGG, they will be big 168lbers

    Jacobs and Lee are just lanky and Lemiuex is a doughboy

    Saunders is not that big either he just likes to eat too much

    I said weigh in you dope. The official weigh in. Each one of the guys I mentioned have weighed in around 165-170 before. GGG's highest weigh in to date on the other hand was 161.

    Thought this was going to be a thread about Hopkins who had 3 inches on both men.

    Lol ok, but tbf they were just bum fights above the weight and GGG had 100s of amateur fights at 165

    Andy Lee fought at 154 a few fights ago

    No I agree with this. The thing is though, EVERYONE needs to move up. Although GGG probably should fight at 168, most of the guys at 168 could fight at 175, etc. It isn't like Golovkin is a weight bully; he's smaller (slightly) than a lot of the guys that he fights. I care more about Canelo because he's bigger than all of the guys he fights and I'm honestly concerned for how much weight he is cutting. If you keep doing that it leads to TONS of health problems. His kidneys and liver are going to be ****ed when he gets older. Also, I think that he cuts so much weight that it is detrimental to his performance. I think when Canelo fights at 160 we will see the best Canelo we have ever seen.

    I have the same fear about Spence and especially Brook right now. It seems like he's staying at 147 in hopes to get big fights, but he cuts a **** ton of weight to do that. He has a great training facility so they are probably good at managing what he does though. I'd like to see both of them fight at 154.

    Andy is a small MW at 6'2, which shows height doesn't tell the whole story.

    Hagler was about 170 in the ring too.
    It's all about camera angles and relative body positions etc.
    Look how much bigger hagler a fist appears to be.

    No offence to the OP but take a picture of Glolovkin when he is 50 next to the current middle weight champ of that time.

    More likely GGG is a big dude and not a small middleweight by any means.

    Tyson looks a little smaller than his prime but he's still a heavyweight

    Tyson was weighing about 200lbs when he was 15.
    HW was absolutely his division
