Don't spin this friend
The pitchforks came out because he called out a fighter who weighed 146 in his last fight
The pitchforks came out because for the Messican pothead he has no problems moving up to 168 yet when :sog: name is mention its
He wants to stay at middleweight and unify, cool. Then quit calling out welters and jr middles.
to SOG
On the flip side though:
SOG had said he'd drop a weight class and fight Floyd Mayweather at 160.....
...the same way that GGG has said he'd drop a weight class and fight Floyd Mayweather at 154, and we werent going
GGG is also willing to fight JCC Jr. at 168, because it would be less, risk more reward than fighting SOG...plus he would take all JCC Jr's fans in the process. #MexicanStyle marketing is his thing and who better to beat than the son of a Mexican legend who had his own huge fanbase?
Pretty much the same thing that can be said about GGG at 160 can be used against SOG against Ward at 168 and refusing to move up to 175 and fight better opponents ("He wants to stay at super middleweight and unify, cool. Then quit calling out jr middleweights (floyd) and middleweights (GGG)")
Yeah that was in retaliation to Floyd talking shyt
, so if Ward moved down to 160 and fought twice there, and GGG still refused the fight then
I was just about to bring up B-Hop staying forever at 160 when he could've moved up as well
Hagler too
I have no problem with a fighter dominating his division though
However, ducking challengers IN your division is a cause for
Same thing with GGG moving down to 154 and Floyd not fighting him or Canelo down to 147 and Pacquiao not fighting him

That's Floyd...and he still fought Canelo at a catchweight, not at the full 154 limit. Would anyone like GGG vs Ward at 166? Ward vs Kovalev at 172?
SOG fought the #1 Light Heavyweight at 168, not at 175...so why cant GGG ask of the same thing of Ward (to fight the #1 Super Middleweight at 160) if he chose?
Why is it only that GGG has to move up, but Ward doesnt have to move down...even though GGG is firmly the A-Side at this point of time?
Im telling you, it's very hard as a SOG stan to shyt on GGG when SOG has already done the same thing we are now trying to criticize GGG for....but yet we were cool with SOG getting away with it
no, but at this point id take anything. good points though.
ggg still ducking ward at 160 or 168. i always hear the excuse from his team money/ppv wise...never about coming up or going down in weight at least ward didnt outright duck anymore.
I don't think so. It's a nice sentiment and I'm sure they've floated the idea but I don't think Floyd sells himself short like that at the very end of his career; that's a middle of your career type move, the way Floyd spends he'll probably wanna squeeze every dime out of PPV that he can. It wouldn't really benefit him to do a PBC fight.
