WBA 160 ratings vs BoxRec and GGG

But but . . . Everyone is scared!!

I don't get why GGG can't fight at 168, he said himself he would fight anyone from 54 to 68

But people say he is too small, the same people who say little floyd should go to 160.

If he is that damn good , and knocking mw's left and right, why don't try your luck at 168?

Even ww cotto will try his luck at 160

 

Pics or STFU.

 

Agree with the belt but


BoxRec #1 Sergio Martinez won't fight Golovkin(money /old)
BoxRec #2 Gennady Golovkin
BoxRec #3 Felix Sturm won't fight Golovkin(afraid)
BoxRec #4 Peter Quillin won't fight Golovkin(afraid/TV network)
BoxRec #5 Daniel Geale won't fight Golovkin(afraid)
BoxRec #6 Sam Soliman
BoxRec #7 Martin Murray won't fight Golovkin(afraid)
BoxRec #8 Marco Antonio Rubio
BoxRec #9 Matthew Macklin (Best opponent to date) (already lost)
BoxRec #10 Hassan N'Dam N'Jikam won't fight Golovkin(afraid)

 

The WBA is becoming more & more distant from reality. Their ranking is based on mysterious stuff, it doesn't even make sense to say its paroled by promoters...because its not good promoting if thats the case atsch

 

There's no guarantee that things would be much different at 168.

 

While you make a good point that WBA is crap.. it was actually WBA that had him #1 and mandatory for Sturm for years, and Sturm still ducked. Being #1 IBF/WBC/WBO would not force GBP, DiBella or Sturm (self promoted now) to make any of those fights. (Ask Rubio how his mandatory status has worked with Martinez)

So, really no reason to drop belt. At least with belt, his fights can be marketed as title fights. /shrug

 

THIS. Nobody seems to understand this.

 

You can make this argument with all the belts, they all have upsurd rankings. The one advantage with the WBA title is they give a fighter the most freedom to make fights with fighters outside their rankings and least likely to strip a fighter, with the WBO the next best and IBF the worst.

 

Good stuff. Rubio also passed on the Proksa and Rosado dates. Soliman is probably the only one that would take it but doubt that would please iceman

 

Still he has knocked out alot of his opposition. Still impressive. His last like 5 victories and the way they ended is the reason he's getting hyped up.

But I agree to some extent, it will be intresting when he faces Sergio martinez or another world champion. Sadly many will avoid him because he's simply too good at the moment.

 

iceboy71 sure thinks about triple G a lot.

 

Alex Theran...heh too soon to be ranked but the guy is VERY promising

 

Soliman would actually give a much better fight than some of the other guys out there. Very durable and awkward style with lots of movement.

Martin Murray is still #1 according to the WBA website.

What is GGG becoming the mandatory for the other 3 belts going to accomplish? He'll either be avoided or the "champs" will vacate....just like what happened before.
