    You're in the middle of watch him become a star and a draw, fans want things to get done too fans, no such thing as a microwave of life in which you can instantly make things happen. GGG is becoming in draw and a star, the ratings he brings on HBO shows that so NO it is no need to go chasing Waterfalls at 168 A DIVISION HE NEVER BEEN IN! 168 could become a option 2 years from now MAYBE
    I don't like it either when fighters move up in weight just to collect belts without fighting the best fighters of the division. Recently, we've seen Broner and Mares do that. They are now three-division world champions but they never unified or became the king of a division, nor did they always fight the toughest challenges: Broner at 135 - Mares at 122 (Mares did fight everyone at 118 though).

    However, when you have fought, and beaten, everyone that mattered in your division you can contemplate moving up in weight. Ward cleaned out 168, it could be time for him to look for new challenges at 175. Who is he gonna fight at super middleweight? Adonis Stevenson was a super middleweight, but he couldn't get a title shot. He took a risk, moved up in weight for Chad Dawson and it paid off.

      I think canelo needs to move up because unfortunately 155lbs is not a division, and if he attempts to fight at that weigh again, I can see the fans causing a stir.
      (In saying that, if he makes 154lbs , then kudos to him, but it will tax him greatly of his stamina IMO

        Out of those three names Ward is the one that should move up in weight. He wants the big money HBO needs to make it worth it an order for S.O.G to move up. Ward has cleaned up the 168 weight class. Rigondeaux & GGG still have some opponents that can get them paid.

          GGG has to move up to 168 to at least fight Froch, Kessler, Bika, Rodriguez, Abraham. Doesn't have to fight the best that is Andre Ward, that's too much.

          Ward should move up to175 for a big fight with Pascal.

          Rigondeaux should move up to a much higher weight class. His style + the weight class makes for him not really getting much exposure. 126-135. I imagine how hard it would be for him to make 135, he probably would come in well below 135 if he ever fought there. I mean he's in his 30s and campaigns at 122, he's really not getting any bigger than 126. But go up there and fight Lomachenko, that would be a nice fight.

            GGG should move up to fight the champ Ward and not Chavez for a money fightZ But Ward should move up to fight Pascal for a money fight but not the Champ Kovalev?

              I don't think any of them have to move up, they still have fights at their current division. But I would like to see

              Rigo vs loma, donaire,Walters, jhonny, mares, Russell, gradovich
              Ggg vs ward Chavez froch
              Ward vs Stevenson kovolev
