Ok I'll bite. Which WW did Golovkin call out who started out at 130? Forgive me for asking, but I don't keep up all that well on who calls out who. What I have noticed is that it's usually Golovkin on the receiving end of the "call-outs".
"So-and-so calls out GGG." "Some other guy out of the woodwork calls out GGG."
The one time Golovkin fought a woefully undersized guy was Brook, and if memory serves me correctly it was Brook who asked for and got the fight. Much like Khan with Canelo. We all know how both THOSE fights ended up.
And what's with all the insistence that GGG move up? He's neither the first, nor will he be the last guy to fight at one weight and never move up. Is that now crime or something?
Lots of fighters in the past never moved up in weight. Ducking is another matter. But if you feel comfortable at one weight and not the one above it..... what's it to the fans?
No comparison here whatsoever.
GGG has made his career at 160 and never budged. Has taken on all comers, undersized or otherwise. He rarely does the calling out. GGG's the big name, so people call HIM out.
Meanwhile, Canelo has carefully and calculatedly moved around the weights with the skill of a safe cracker. Has fought all sorts of undersized guys..... and when they do, he shows up on fight night 20+ pounds heavier.
He danced around MW with the "marinating" excuse, then brazenly took a fight at 170 with Chavez Jr. Not big enough for 160..... but fought at 170. Go figure.
Apples and oranges.
Edit: Oh ok.... someone answered. Mayweather. Hell...... everybody and their brother has called out Floyd. Money talks. Especially when there's mega millions involved.
