Lets be real here. GGG fighting at 175 pounds? Will never happen. GGG wont even go up to 168 to fight some heavy hitters. He will stay at 160 while taking catch weight fights with junior middle weights and call it a career.

How many weight classes can GGG move up and be successful?

He really wouldn't be the first to do it and it's really not asking much. If you look back at guys like Langford and Mickey Walker off the top of my head.
Walker was 5'7 and started his career at Welterweight and ended it at heavyweight.
I don't think it's too much to ask TBE to do things that have already been accomplished in the sport. Why do you get so defensive and nervous when people ask Floyd to do things that have already been accomplished by fighters in similar size/stature?

King Arthur Abraham vs Gennady Golovkin. Who wins? I think GGG would be too small, they would be the same height but Abraham would be the bigger man on fight night.
Researchers from Yale University made an expert in-ring prediction, with pictures, of just how big would Abraham be in front of Golovkin. (Note: They are the same height, but Abraham's body mass and fight night weight makes him appear taller and physically stronger).

Why not ask that of Mayweather? If he's TBE, what's the problem? It's already been done, Larry. Why can't he take the lineal title from GGG if he ends of beating Cotto. GGG is more proven at 160 than Cotto who's had one fight, thus far.
Regarding GGG, I guess you missed my post where I said if GGG was as great as everyone says he is, I would expect him to move up to at least Cruiserweight and if he's a skillful as everyone says, he can come in at 187 and beat a heavyweight like Jonathan Banks or Pulev. It's not like it's never been done before by someone starting as a middleweight.
Guys like Ezzard Charles started at MW and went all the way up to Heavyweight and won titles in all the divisions on his way up.
Some of you guys don't want to witness greatness are are more scared for your favorite fighters than the fighters themselves.
