If Jacobs beats GGG???

* So you are thinking this is kinda a close'ish fight with Jacobs I see, that's cool.... so when Jacobs doesn't last the distance, I assume you will be giving Golovkin props? Considering he would have exceeded your perception of him?



------
Andre Ward was competing at a weight he had cleaned out for years, that was getting hard for him to make (hell, he even openly admits now that even making 175 isn't all that easy) with no real obvious challenger to him, and was left wishing upon a star that an average seller, and an average sized middleweight would move up to fight him, and when that didn't happen he made the decision to move up. Awesome. Props to Ward.

Golovkin doesn't even weigh 168 (the weight you want him to move to) a MONTH out from his fights, he hasn't cleaned out his division yet (still titles to get), is on the verge of the biggest fights of his division (fights that, barring Ward at 168, are bigger than anything waiting for him at 68) he is aiming for a record (wants to break Hopkins title defense record), and he is on the verge of the biggest possible fight available to him probably in his entire career at any weight (Canelo), once he unifies his division, a completely understandable goal for any professional fighter, and gets the scalps of the best in his division.... like Ward did, and he starts having trouble making 160, like Ward started having issues with 68, THEN he will move up. That there is this huge uproar over that is absolutely insane lol.

You do realize, that almost every case of weight jumping you can provide, outside of generational p4p talents (pac, Mayweather, RJJ), are cases in which the fighters weight pretty much became a major factor on to why they actually moved up right? This idea that all these fighters are moving up left and right because they are headhunting the biggest and most challenging scalps is such a fantasy lol.

Ward knows G is small for 168. Froch knows G is small for 168. They all know G is small for 168.
Golovkin is a middleweight, his body is suited for middleweight, he is a skilled, pressure fighting power puncher, not a speedy, athletic based fighter with a tricky style that will benefit him against larger opponents. His style and effectiveness if negated quite a bit by size and durability. So why is there a desire to see him fight guys that negate his physical talents of someone his size against people his size (natural), just because they are bigger.... and see him become a win some lose some fighter at divisions he shouldn't be at in the first place?

Everyone knows G is a middleweight, yet want to crucify him for wanting to stay there until he accomplishes his goals there and his body is ready to move up.

Yes, fighters move up in weight all the time. And Golovkin will eventually move up in weight. That people are so pissed he doesn't do it before he secures the biggest fight possible of his career, is insane.
