    GGG is a very special fighter who would give any of the great middles a tough night.

    Floyd fans just cannot handle it as they know one of Floyds biggest wins would be crushed like a tin can against GGG.

    Because if he wants a free payday, he might as well sacrifice something in return. He sure as hell isn't offering anything with that pathetic resume, so something else has got to give.

    It's real simple for Golovkin. Agree to the 155 and make a ton of money knocking out Canelo or stick to the 160 argument and fight some loser for the vacant title for a few hundred thousand.

    :deal

    Boxing is a BUSINESS and Canelo, next to Pacquiao, is the TOP earner in the sport. Meanwhile, the Triple Duck does 97K PPV buys.

    Lol..

    ...And Pacquiao started at 106. :tired

    A career mw needs to move up to lhw now? Huh, I can use that same argument. Mayweather was a legit ww before retiring and fought at lmw. Why couldn't he move up 1 division to fight Golovkin?

    It made you Floyd fans scared is it what happened. :rofl

    Golovkin makes close to $2 million if he fights a journeyman, someone like current Vera.

    While I agree with the PREMISE that GGG would be better off looking to negotiate weight rather than making demands irt full MW limit, I disagree that his earning potential will drop if he doesnt give in to CanYELLOWs 155 request.

    There are actually reasons why CanYELLOW should NOT look to bring GGG down to 155.
    1. being that CnaYELLOW is melting down and rehydrating to LHW, whereas GGG doesnt melt down and rehydrates to SMW.
    2. If GGG doesn't have to agree to the CW, and YELLOW is at least competitive, it will legitimize the younger fighter as the legitimate #2 at the weight and let him focus on maintaining his s****om for a longer period of time not having to boil down taking rds off his ring life.
    GGG would ALSO likely demand less $$$ if the CW is LESS CUT or non-existent.

    This fight doesn't HAVE to go to purse bid. Golovkin would probably happily accept 25% if it's at the MW limit or maybe even as low as 157. :think

    Yet you want a 40 year old PBF who has already moved up through 5 weights to move up to his 6th to fight GGG at MW. Yet you don't ask the same thing for GGG, you have no consistency and your agenda couldn't be more transparent.:lol::rofl PBF is a proven fighter here the best fighter of this era his resume and accomplishments will not be equaled or surpassed by GGG the man is already 34 with a **** resume and when he had a chance to move up and fight Ward at 168 he ran away like a scalded dog and hid in the bathroom till it was safe to come back out. GGG is the second coming of Kostya Tszyu.:deal

    Why does a non middle with zero wins at the weight have to fight Glovkin:think

    There's nothing worse than a guy chasing after fights from a lower weight class and Glovbum is the only MW doing it. And like a true pussay boy , he runs from the guys a division above him.:barf
