Comments Thread For: 30 Day Weights: Gennady Golovkin 164, Dominic Wade 175.6

i'm sure golovkin will be willing to accept 158 or even 157 when the actual negotiations with canelo begin (if canelo ever agrees to negotiate). his team's hard stance on 160 is clearly just a tactic so they don't get completely ****d at the table and forced down to canelo's absurd 155 division, only 1 lb above jr middleweight

[mick1303]

So 155 is not an issue then?

Absolutely no issue. If Canelo drops the belt and they fight in a non-title fight. Another story if Canelo wants to keep MW belt.

Don't be mad at me friend. It is not my fault that at the age of 34, your shaolin master's best win is either Daniel Geale, Martin Murray, or David Lemieux. That is ****ing pathetic!

For comparion's sake, Andre Ward is 32, his best wins are Kessler, Abraham, Froch, and Dawson, plus he's signed to fight Kovalev in November. I mean hell, he's fighting Sullivan Barrera this Saturday who is as good as anyone Golovkin has ever fought!

I wonder how many of those scalps Andre would have if everyone wasn't locked into the Super Six tourney?

WBC title holders are now required to do VADA testing, why isn't Golovkin doing it?

GGG vs Lemieux had VADA testing, GGG vs Wade probably will have it too.

Wilder vs Szpilka was publicised as having VADA testing, but it didn't happen. Why do you think that was?

Ward vs Kovalev is not a done deal yet. I don't think it will happen.

Golovkin is a rare fighter in that 10 years as a pro, his weight has fluctuated very little, even as a prospect.

His lowest professional weight was 158.5lb and his highest has been 161.25lb. That's an insanely small range and I can't think of another fighter period who over 10 years and 30+ fights that have fluctuated so little. Too much credit is given to young fighters who's bodies out grow a division and thus they have to move up, when they were in fact doing massive weight cuts to begin with in order to have a size advantage.

bu bu but they ducking doe....GGG is a very good fighter and there comes a point where he is going to have to take charge in his career.



Fighting the wades and Monroes of the world on the regular and a lemmy and murray type every now and then wont cut it if he wants to be considered a great fighter or become a star

Yes it will. There's a thing called longevity. If you are champion in a weight division long enough eventually a very good fighter will come a long that would have been a great champion if you weren't there to defeat him. His time is now, it's happening with every fight.

he'll be 34 next month....he probably has a good 3-5 years....maybe 10 or less fights...time to put up or shut up

Damn Wade had to come down from 220 in the middle of the basketball season

[Larry the boss]

Wade is 175 30 days out!? What the heck does he weigh when he's walking around between fights?
