When should Golovkin move up to 168?

So if you think its understandable, and want, Ward to stay at 168 to fight a middleweight who most likely wont fight him..... instead of going up to fight the big fights at 175.

Why dont you lend that same notion to G, who is obviously waiting for the big names in his own division, let alone the one below him, to fight him.

Do you see how its apparent that a group of people are treating Ward and Golovkin differently, and holding different standards to the two?


If you say because the guys G are waiting for wont fight him, well thats the same thing with Ward. Golovkin isnt going to fight him, so they are both waiting for nothing then. Only difference being, Ward is beyond a doubt the man in his division, while G still has work to do in his. So again, its Ward that should be getting the heat for moving up, if anyone.


So to me, one either shouldnt be calling for either to move up, should be equally vocal for both, and a case could be made for focusing more on Ward than G, considering G still has work to do in his.

In fact, if these two were being treated equally by the fans that are calling G out on this, they should have been calling for Ward to move up to fight Stevenson and Kovalev for quite awhile now, back when both were fighting on HBO and even calling him out.
