Hey, it's the sign of the times; no such thing as fighting at a particular weight these days. Move up, move down, catchweight.
I remember Hopkins taking a lot of stuff for fighting that joke Morrade Hakkar- -since then he has moved up & fought.
But looking back on it: Fighting a mandatory in Hakkar helped him to cement a 20 fight legacy as a MW champ.
What a shame GGG may have to face the same selfish-fan mindset because he may dare to do what Hopkins, Haglar & Monzon did: clean out the house. He has to fight where we tell him to fight at. he has to move up or down & no one else can or should move to the once glorified weight class: Middle Weight Champ of the world.
