You don't get it do you? If Floyd had been a natural MW like GG, how many divisions do you think he'd have fought in?
I think there's more good fights for him at MW than what there are at SMW. The SMW division has got much weaker since Ward, Froch and Kessler have gone, and I wouldn't be surprised if DeGale moved up within the next few years.
Golovkin is a career middleweight when it's all said and done. Golovkin is going to have three good names coming for him soon: Derevyanchenko, Quigley and Canelo.
Again, everyone's circumstances are different. Different ages, different sizes, different competition etc.
Prove himself against who? That's the problem he's faced with. I would have loved to have seen him fight Ward, Froch or Kessler at SMW. None of those fights are possible anymore.
You know for someone who is authoring such an amusing book (The Book of Barcham!), you're reading comprehension is a steaming pile of canine fecal matter. I never said "GGG should move up". In fact, what I actually said was: :smoke
I actually suspect he might be a big time Golovkin hater who's trolling everyone in hopes that it will insight even more hatred towards Golovkin and his fans. Either that, or he should be locked away in a room with thickly padded walls. :smoke
For what? To be the absolute undisputed best MW ever? Sorry he'll never beat Hagler or Hopkins for that title. Make it worthwhile to move up? Nah. I don't feel like arguing with a pop tart about that... Maybe tommorow:good
