    Funny thing is, when Taylor defeated Hopkins, he was placed near the top of the p4P lists.

    Why do the moderators tolerate threads like this with the likes of ''Bumlovkin'' in the title, its really disrespectful and juvenile, it damages the credibility of the forum as well when newcomers visit here and see this childish rubbish on the first page...

    What does class have to do with resume, accomplishments, credible opponents?

    I don't have all the facts, but I would wager the Brook who fought Golovkin was bigger than the Stevens that fought Golovkin.

    "(More) adept at fighting at that weight" is not the same as " being bigger"

    That is something that is actually up for debate.


    He would be the bigger man regardless if he was smaller once upon a time or not. A 230 pound James Toney is bigger than a 188 pound Kovalev, regardless if he was 160 pounds at some point in the past.

    That's like saying Pacquiao would beat Klitschko at flyweight, it doesn't mean anything.


    I find nothing objectionable to the idea that a lighter man is smaller.

    And has stated numerous times that he doesn't feel healthy when cutting down to the welterweight limit.

    He's about an inch shorter, give or take.

    Which isn't the same as being bigger.

    He's only fought once at welter in the last 20 months, had documented trouble making the weight, lost the fight, and went on record saying he will no longer try to make 147 again. I don't think that's being more effective.

    Power and durability are very relevant to Golovkin's decision to stay at middleweight.


    If he made 175, he would be a light heavy. It doesn't matter what he was before.

    If he you can make the weight limit, belonging to a division only comes down to one thing, success.

    He clearly mentioned the hate for 3G, which you just completely brushed over

    Can someone explain how Loma 'dragged' a guy up who openly called for the fight and is quite happy to do it at 130???!!! That's not dragging that's calling your bluff..

    Rigoblin is the one who called Loma out and who has been going at him on Twitter. And ever since Loma disposed of their boys GRJ and Walters all these Dontae & 78Sports TV type channels on YT (of which there are many) and their subs have been crucifying Loma for ''ducking'' Rigo even though Loma had already agreed to fight him at 126 before and they know damn well he isn't.

    Plus, JMM called Mayweather out. He paid the price.

    The person who made this thread believes that Wilder is the greatest fighter of all time, more skilled than any boxer in boxing history....................fights only the top fighters, yes, winos from the alley are the very best out there, 5 voluntary title defenses in a row is a record for all time!
