    Pacquiao fought Margarito, why can't GGG fight bigger guys if he so great?

    What's the alternative? Sitting around beating C level fighters still not doing anything for legacy and getting older kissing Canelo's ass begging for a fight.

    They want GGG to unify so they can compare that trash to Hagler and Hopkins.:deal

    They want to "Calzhage" him to greatness.

    So did "coward" Mayweather.

    He's been moving up since he was 21.

    It's nothing to do with Cojones anyway, fighters move up if there's a good incentive to do so whether it be a good opponent, perhaps they can't make weight or money.

    You can make an argument for Ward, not for DeGale in my eyes and the rest of that division.

    I would agree with you if GGG were 23 instead of 33.

    He's just too old for this shi.t.

    You have to have cojones to step in the ring, I don't care what you say. And what's the point of moving up to make money if you don't got the cojones to do it?:tong

    I don't have a p4p list atm, I'm giving time for some guys to establish themselves.

    Imagine if Floyd would have stayed at 130 his entire career? He wouldn't get any credit because people would say he didn't test himself against better opposition. And where was that better opposition? In the higher weight classes!:deal

    Fair enough. But for example for someone to have GGG ranked p4p no.1, that person is pretty much saying that if all fighters were the same size as GGG, that he would beat them all, right? So why is it so bad to ask or even suggest GGG move up to 168 if he's so good and recognized as p4p the best fighter in the World?

    Choco who I feel is the true P4P king has already moved up how many divisions and will probably reach 122 before his career is over, so based off that wanting GGG to move up really isn't as bad as people are making it out to be after all.
