    Im fairly certain, almost positive I read he was weighing 171 before starting camp for Stevens.

    He usually fights about 169-173 when he comes into the ring.

    He's smaller than Canelo, that's for certain.:think

    I heard his fighting weight is usually about 167-168 on average, but I know he weighed 170 for the Macklin fight. I also heard someone say he was 171 for one of his fights since that, but I don't know if there's any truth to it.

    I think he weighed 167 and 168 for Proksa and Rosado. Abel Sanchez said he comes into camp at about that weight too. I don't think he's ever weighed over 171 on the night though.

    As for his walk around weight. Golovkin said it's usually 170 but that he has been as high as 175 before when lazing about completely out of training. Sanchez said that he did used to walk around quite a bit lower than that in the past though. I'm sure I remember him saying two or three years ago that he walks around at 161-162.

    Canelo is the bigger man though. I heard he regularly walks around at at least 175. I think he went into camp for Floyd weighing that.

    Golovkin looks pretty full in the face in this video prior to the fight against Curtis Stevens. That's the heaviest I've seen him look.

    I think the idiom 'Don't judge a book by its cover' is very fitting for Golovkin. lol

    Sanchez said that Golovkin has been gaining weight nicely so he probably walks around close to 170 now.

    Golovkin weighs 170 when he's on the scales with open palms but his weight shoots up to 300+ as soon as he clenches his fists.

    Well if he fights at 170, I assume he walks around about 180.

    I assume he doesnt weigh his fighting weight out of camp.
