Hopkins is more active than Ward, doe. So we'll go up to 168 for him no problem.
Team Golovkin is shameless.

168 might be a division but it's a CW in this case. Canelo and Khan are both young, with Khan actually being taller and having a (what I believe to be not a functional advantage but lets play advocate) speed advantage. Khan already said he'd be about 165 (Martinez had a few fights where he was around that weight to use as an example).
Now.... Canelo has never claimed to be willing to leave 155. I LOVE GGG but dude has said 154-168 was fair game. He's had a few fair names offer to fight him and the Ward situation is ******ed I wont even get into it. No use in using Ward as an example as the dude can't even make a fight happen at ANY weight. But GGG vs B Hop is worse than Canelo-Khan. He's going to bring a51 year old DOWN in weight.
He's (potentially) bringing a grandfather aged man DOWN in weight. Draining is worse than bringing someone up IMO.
In what world is Canelo-Khan worse than Bhop vs GGG? :/ Canelo-Khan is hilariously weird and laughable. GGG bringing B Hop down in weight isn't twilight zone levels like Canelo-Khan was is actually semi interesting. You're putting in the "killer" in boxing right now in GGG vs a drained 51 year old coming off less than stellar performances...cuz he's 51.
I like GGG and Canelo a lot but no contest in the ridiculousness of ggg-bhop.
People wanted Mayweather and some even Pac to go up and fight GGG at 160. How does Canelo get s hit from the same people for doing it with Khan at 155? Not justifying it, but someone has to play advocate. Sure, I'm not aware of any Khan fight being at 154, but he's naturally bigger than Floyd and Pac, so he's essentially fighting at 154 (almost). I dont get it.
B Hop is one of my favorite fighters in a while but that doesnt justify this as being some type of fair fight. With all respect to bhop he's 51.
He's old enough to be GGG's father. Khan and Canelo are at least in their prime. At least...lolLast edited by NearHypnos; 02-09-2016, 02:53 AM.
