Hopkins v GGG apparently

[C.J.Rock]

I really don't see a problem with it should it materialize, though I did have to think twice. Fair play to Golovkin as it will be a sizable jump in weight..something all of his detractors have been screaming for... a big step up in comp and a smart play for high profile exposure with a legend. Also if anyone was a blueprint for a spoiler with every trick in the book and a few the ref does not like similar to Ward in the future..its Hopkins! We cannot expect Golovkin to sit around beating up inferior middles and champions who will not fight as a legitimate middleweight forever. Lets see what happens and if it comes to form and what weight we're talking, but its not atrocious.

First you have to applaud Bernard Hopkins cojones for even thinking about fighting GGG
Thats the two most dangerous punchers & most feared fighters active today. Just imagine if Mayweather had cojones one quarter the size of Bernards he just might make ATG status
I hope in my heart this fight does not materialize. Don't forget B Hop would be FIFTY years old fighting the worlds most feared fighter. Nard has the skills but he cannot go on for ever. He has nothing left to prove he could retire today with the fantastic ATG legacy Mayweather only wishes he could have. Please do not do it Bernard

I don't want to see a death in the ring.

GGG is milking every drop.

Hagler would have called out ward ages ago.

Did Hagler ever call out Spinks?

Respectively, this is 100% incorrect. Hagler is the prime example for GGG remaining at 160. Hagler stayed at 160 for his entire career. He literally never moved up in weight and was content to remain at 160 until the junior middleweights and welterweights moved up to face him (Duran, Hearns, Leonard). He's renown for the length of his reign and his wins over Duran and Hearns. Just check his boxrec. I would argue that GGG is taking a page out of the Hopkins/Hagler book of boxing in staying at 160.

Hagler never moved up in wieght because he was scared of fucking Spinks and with good reason would got fucked up if he moved up. He did the smart thing and feasted on guys moving up in weight till he fucking lost to Ray Leonard.
