Lets say Gennady knocks out Rosado in great fashion would you rather see him fighting smaller fighter at 154 or big guys at 168?
I know that probably the most reasonable option would be Martinez or Pirog but I am interested in this one.
I just want to see him against somebody with a pulse, which is yet to happen.
How dare you pop the tires on the GGG bandwagon with brutal honesty!?
It's amazing what some HBO and fan hype can do for a fighter.
It's funny to hear NSBers accuse so-and-so fighter of ducking GGG when from the perspective of those fighters and their camps, he's probably nothing more than a decent undefeated figher with an alphabet belt - which, and this needs to be said, started by GGG taking the vacant mandatory belt, beating the interim champ, and later being promoted to regular champ. I won't even throw out the "oh-there's-no-money-in-that" excuse; he's simply a nobody in their eyes because they don't get the same kind of stupid thread-by-thread hype that we do.
I don't think GGG is small for MW, IDK what you guys are thinking. Yes, he is short but the guy is SOLID he's back is massive. He can beat anyone at 168 he just a TON of power, I would favor him against everyone he fights from 154-168. With the exception of Martinez and Ward, but that is only because I think he could use 2-3 more fights. His power is on a different level and he has a good boxing IQ on top of that.
160 is heating up...after he recovers from the "L" he's gonna take in a minute...he can fight Sturm and a few others until Maravilla is forced to dance wit him...yall know thats the fight HBO is trying to build up this year...we'll see!! :boxing:
I can see GGG at 154. But we need to remove Floyd & ginger bumhype from the equation right now. Floyd only looks for fights against marketable guys he should beat up to make the most profit. GGG & all his power doesn't bring anything to Floyd except the possibility of a ko, therefore that fight won't ever happen. Now unto bumhype. ginger doesn't even fight regular jr middleweights. There's no way he'll fight a middleweight who is rumored to have cruiserweight type power.
current version of GGG, nah, he ought to stick it out at 160 and prove he's worth all the talk, after that, if he can make 154 with no no problems, then yeah sure. he's a bit too small for 160 as it is, he might get bullied at 168
The longer he stays at 160 the harder it will be for him to make 154.
He says he can fight at 168. I'm intrigued to see what he could do there. Would be interesting to see if he manhandles or gets manhandled.

i'd be interested in seeing him against the bigger lmws like trout or canelo when they grow out of the division but i'm very curious about how he'd fare against the bigger guys at 168
I'd rather see him do something at 160 to be honest.
Yes as I said the best option would be 160 (Martinez) but among these two which would you prefer?
Would he get credit for beating smaller guys (Canelo/Mayweather)?
