Canelo's the only big cash generator left in the division. Otherwise it's a move up to really prove himself. I've never understood why a boxer needs to move through the weights to really prove himself, if he keeps doing what he's doing at that weight he'll have no questions to answer from anyone IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boostin' Kev Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 As long as he makes 160 he can stay as long as he wants and take on whoever's there just now and whoever comes up from 154. There's too many people that sit farting into the cushion of their settee acting like they have a right to pass comment on what a boxer should be doing with their career. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at how some people were critical of Calzaghe throughout his career! That said, I'd love to see how GGG would deal with stepping up to SMW! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boostin' Kev Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 (edited) It's a boxers career they can do wtf they want with it really as long as they're in a weight class imo. Look how long Hagler stayed at 160 reigning supreme, I don't think many people back then were complaining. The Alvarez situation is different as 155 isn't a division. If he can continue to make 154 and wants to stay there then he's entitled to, if he can't make the weight then he should move to 160.

Boostin' Kev Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 (edited) It's not like there's many particularly good fights to be made at 168 anyway. Jack or a Dirrell sister aren't particularly mouth watering. DeGale would be interesting, maybe Ramirez.

GiGi Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 GGG isn't exactly making a big cut to 160. think he's pretty comfortable. I'm not sure he'd be interested in SMW and he's no reason to be unless he wants to really challenge himself. Can't lie though I'd like to see if he could still walk through bigger men the same way. I don't think there are too many even there who would stand much of a chance of stopping him. DeGale maybe, wouldn't put money on it even still. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking this too but with Andre Ward.......but he's stepped up a division himself now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dundeefc1783 Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 As has been said before there is hardly any big names in the smw division either. See from Ring Magazine that de gale is ranked 1 and groves 4th so it's hardly the stacked division it was a few years back. Is GGG really going to add to his legacy by beating the likes of De Gale or Jack. Probably not if Andre Ward was still in the division I would imagine he would be looking to step up but there is potentially a couple of bigger fights for himLeft at mw than there is at super. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering SM didn't wasn't a mainstream fixture, by the end of Hagler's career, a jump to LH was more extreme than that of w/w to middle. It's the sort of basic thing you pick up, sitting on a sofa *parp*! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's definitely a lot less extreme than Roberto Duran going from lightweight to supermiddle in the same era. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paisleysaints Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 The Eubanks are fucking embarrassing. Just watching skysports news. Apparently ready to fight GGG but he's also two fights away. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See if he came out and said look I want to win this outright instead of shouting his mouth off when everyone knows he didn't sign the contract to fight GGG. And threw the fight away against BJS. Just wrong timing for the crap about corner men. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that would play out differently next time. Eubank all the way in any rematch. He was a clumsy novice in the first fight and looked it for the first 7 or 8 rounds. BJS has barely fought since - twice - whereas Eubank has improved with every fight. Edited September 13, 2016 by LargsTON 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LargsTON Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 8 minutes ago, Tarmo Kink said: The only reason Eubank apparently "started slow" was because he couldn't start. BJS is a far superior boxer, just has a tendency to gas late on in a fight. I'd pick him to beat Eubank again. I also don't agree with the idea that Eubank has improved, all he's done is fought at domestic level or less I admit to being slightly biased when it comes to Eubank Junior but you're kidding yourself on if you can't see he's massively improved in the past 2 years, irrespective of his opponents who he's looked several levels above anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
