    He would go up just to find the same problem he is facing now, NOBODY would want to fight him.

      I haven't really seen enough of Stieglitz to make a fair judgement on his skill, but I think Gennady has the tools to do well against a lot of the guys up there.

      I think that he'd find more competition at 168 though. That small jump in weight could change a lot in terms of the power of Gennady's punches as well as his opponents chin.

        I hope so man...

        I hope Ward grows a pair and calls out Golovkin this Saturday instead of making excuses as to why a fight with Triple G wouldn't do anything for his career.

          Mind explaining?

            In reality, a fight with GGG would do Ward's career good and GGG's career good.
            GGG would legit be a top 10 P4P with a win, Ward might even make #1 P4P and gain the right to be called an ATG (IMO at least). A loss would be big, but both would still be legit afterwards

              Honestly, Only way I can see Ward taking that spot while Floyd is still active is winning titles all the way up to CW or HW
              That or completely clean out LHW and CW.

                GGG is a regular sized middleweight. Stevens is short but stocky, he's the one who was fighting at 168 not so long ago.

                    My mistake, I let that last fight with Stevens like change the size of a normal middleweight in my head. They're all usually around Golovkins size

                    Really? All that is necessary for him to be called #1 P4P?

                    Yeah I see now, and well Stieglitz doesn't have Gennady's chin that's for sure
