    GGG and 168

    GGG is absolutely not too small for 168--GGG is about Abraham size or bigger with more power. I think GGG would be better at 168 than 154---thoughts? Plus it would be sooo interesting for him to face some of the guys at 168, question is--could he handle the power?

    I think he beats nearly everyone at 168, except ward..

    Froch is on the downhill, so I think ggg would beat him, but not a prime froch..

      I really want him to clean out middleweight, then move up to 168. first dispose of quillin, and everyone else he hasn't got to. I"m also surprised i have not seen canelo vs GGG hype---so much money in this fight

        Yeah, I would much prefer him to clean out mw division. I think he can easily do that, it's only a matter of if he can land the fights.. 169 would truly provide him with real stiff competition and he wouldn't be as dominant..

        If ggg hangs around mw, and canelo beats cotto, I think late 2015, early 2016, this could be the fight to make of both guys keep winning.. Ggg will have to land some high profile fights beforehand to make it worth it to canelo to have such a big risk

          I don't care if it's 168,160 or 154, would GGG please fight a top shelf fighter. He's not alone, same can be said for Quillin, Kovalev, Mikey Garcia. It's had to believe that after 3 pro fighths Lomenchenco has a better resume than all of these guys. Hopefully the guys with the deep pockets (HBO, Showtime) make these guys step up their level of competition

            I think he should wait for Canelo to move up to 160. Canelo can't make 154 anymore, so a move up is just a matter of time. In the meantime, he can try to make fights with Quillin, Murray, or Cotto. After facing Canelo, he should move up to 168.

              I would omit Mikey from that list. How could Lomachenko have a better resume when Mikey beat Salido. He also has wins over Roman Martinez and Juan Carlos Burgos. Those are solid wins and his win over JuanMa is also decent.

                Lomechenko is such a blessing to the sport of boxing ..anyway, GGG is too risky for most fighters around his weight class. Quillin (advised by al haymon) would never fight GGG right now, especially after the fact his protege Russell and Garcia just lost...I think GGG is going to have to be pragmatic right now when it comes to making fights. Froch? Froch wants no part of GGG and wants to retire in fashion with a W, he know GGG would be a task. Kessler? Kessler wouldn't risk injury with the old body he has. I could see Abraham or even ****y groves accepting a GGG fight, and Canelo is being prepped to be an undefeated cash cow who will be kept undefeated. Unfortunately we should be pretty grateful for a caliber opponent like daniel geale...

                  And I think GGG has a better resume than Peter Quillen or mikey Gracia. Just by a small margin though

                    Not mikey,. Mickey has a legit world class win over salido which is better than any of ggg opponents..
