so GGG fought at 165 before?

[Silkeyjoe]

I just read he fought at 165 at the olympics. So why cant he step up to 168 to fight ward?

id say most 154 fighters would fight at 165 in the amateurs as its a lot harder to make weight day after day rather than just a once off as in the pros.

Andre Ward won an olympics at 178 pounds for example yet fought at 168 in the pros. I think GGG should move up as his big payday fights arent going to happen but I dont get why hes criticised so much for not yet nothing comes to Ward from the fanboys for sitting around doing nothing waiting for a small guy to move up to him.

Triple G will go where the best money is available, least risk and what will improve his legacy.

That is his criteria, in that order. As do most boxers.

Therefore he will stay at middleweight, try and fight Canelo and unify the division with record number of defences.

We watched Alvarez answer the bell at 180 and win yet he still won't step up ...funny how it works. He'll live in your house rent free and eat your food but he isn't mowing the lawn or doing the heavy lifting. Sanchez nailed it with Ward part there, you never wait or call on an idle man who is in catchup phase. Even the meanest dog doesn't chase a parked car twice.

GGG reminds me of Marvin Hagler very dominant and feared Marvin my very well have had better
contenders in his time,! but GGG has wiped the floor with all he has faced.
Chap just enjoy because we never relies a good thing thing till its gone, never mind 168 GGG is
middle weight Champion a lighthouse in a sea of dross.
