Comments Thread For: Sanchez: Golovkin Will Eventually Move Up To 168, Maybe 175

[Teetotaler]

175 is way too much for GGG. 168 would be good enough

[DadeCounty305]

Lol, at this lie again. He claimed they were moving towards 168 months ago, but decided to drag a 147lber up instead. Abel is the Hilary of boxing. If he ever tells the truth, it's by accident.

Man you guys are some real GGG haters. Ward made Dawson come down from LHW. You guys forget that huh. You also forget Ward fought at LHW in the Olympics. He's a true LHW. The was no problem for him to come down at fight GGG at 64. If he really wanted to fight him, he would've met him in the middle. GGG isn't a big MW, he's really small. No one would fight him at 54. Dude had to fight at 60. You cats makes me laugh when y'all talk all this crazy GGG hate talk. Triple G won 350+ amateur fights and Gold in the Olympics. I'm a Ward fan as well but you have to be real. Go back and watch the GGG vs Rosado fight. Listen to how Ward spoke on GGG. Ward knows GGG is the real deal and GGG knows Ward is the real deal. Respect GGG for trying to collect all the belts. If Saunders grow a pair, maybe we'll see GGG move up to 68 faster. Canelois a hctib for doing all that talking and dropping down to 64 instead of fighting GGG. I respect Brook moving up to fight him. Fight going to do good numbers.

Cool Abel. When? If you're waiting on that WBO trinket this may take some time...

GGG is 34, if he moves up higher than 160 it's because he's not taking care of himself anymore.

he's not growing any bigger unless he gets fatter

Didn't read past the 1st sentence because we need to clear something up...
You know Abe and GG are two different guys, right? Just because Sanchez has the integrity of a mortgage swindler doesn't mean Golovkin does. Likewise, if I comment on Sanchez it doesn't mean I said anything "hateful" about Genady.

You'd do well to recognize the difference. It's part of what divides the fanboys from the boxing fans.

He didn't "make" Dawson do anything. When asked about weight he clearly said post fight interview "we can do it at 175 or 68". Now, considering Dawson was GRADES above ANY of GayLoveKins 35 opponents, I'd say it's best to shut that bs argument down. Hey! Dawson actually lived up to his word about weight! Maybe GayLoveKin will learn from that huh?

Ward didn't make Dawson do anything. Even if he did, what does that situation have to do with GGG bringing up a welterweight to fight him?

And why is the default response for any criticism of Team GGG to bring up Ward?

Brook is 30 and just jumped 2 divisions. He stopped growing a while ago. It's now Perfectly acceptable for fans to call for Lil G to fight Ward at 175.

Fight night weights.
Brook - 156
Golovkin - 173
Ward - 186

Golovkin closer in weight to Ward than Brook.

[Dip_Slide]

GGG will never fight at 175 ever, the man is 34 year old and he doesn't have the frame nor the style to be able to compete at 175, taller bigger physically stronger guys will fight him from a distance and then will clinch him and rough him up on the inside using their physical strength and even if he managed to get off some shots they won't have the effect they had at 160 lbs.

GGG will be almost totally neutralized at a higher weight against bigger good inside fighters and that's why he will never move up all the way to 175 and if he did he will be very careful with the opponent selection, GGG's chances against Ward last year at 168 were much higher than they are now or next year (if Ward beats Kovalev) at 175, I give him almost NO chance at beating Ward at 175 even though Ward looks to have slowed down significantly.

GGG should've started his career at 154, now he can't make 154 and he can't move up so much in weight either since he's already too old for that, so he's kinda stuck at the poorest talent pool in boxing today which is the middleweight division.

Would be good to Golovkin move up, a lot of good fighters at 168.
