    Can you imagine GGG owning a SMW belt and refusing to defend it at 168 ? There is a big difference between Canelo's and Golovkin's situations, so your "plain and simple" is bullsh*t.

    Good point. GGG is technically sound and hits hard. So not only can he hurt you, he can also apply the power.

    That's a dangerous combo.

    Take a guy like Canelo. If he were to fight GGG and get beaten to a pulp that cuts his prime in half. Whereas if he ducks Golovkin and avoids a beatdown he can preserve his body.

    But Marco Antonio Barerra being in 60+ fights and being in multiple wars was Prime when Pacquaio beat him? You make no sense you flip flopping Mongoloid. Those wars and being in 60+ fights at the age of 29 cut his prime in half. He was Burned out when Pac got him.

    Every fighter is different. In MAB case his prime was cut short by wars. He starting declining at around age 31. If he didn't have many wars he could have been prime at 35 like Marquez.

    Pacquiao tears apart fighters who rely mainly on using the left hand. MAB and DLH are made to order for Pacquiao that Pacquiao would beat them at any point in their careers and at any weight class.
    MAB was still a hell of a fighter when Pacquiao dominated and then stopped him.

    Yep. MAB had his best win AFTER the Pacquiao loss.

    If anything happens between 154 and 160 is because someone is scared of GGG..smh That's always the answer on here...

    I think you misunderstood him. His point was that Camelot will move to 160 once GGG is no longer there (i e. Moves to 168)

    I'm just going to say it. Most of them are. And it's perfectly natural.

    Standard practice they boil him down, this week is hell for him lots of shadow boxing and cutting liquid he's a natural 170 pounder fight nite. If he wins the offer on the table for GGG would be at 155.

    The losers are the mentally ret@rded Golovkin fans that stand in awe at highlight videos of him knocking out hopeless tomato cans. Do you even know that all the opponents he's knocking out in his highlight videos he stormed into the arena as a 100-1 favorite?. Ret@rd.

    One of those "cans" is fighting for a SMW title tomorrow, one of them was an IBF champion at the time, and there were a few former champions. Adding the Scar moron to my ignore list.

    P.S. Nobody has doubts that Cotto, Canelo and Quillin would also join the list of cans if they dared to face GGG.
