    Could GGG be successful at heavyweight?

    Roy Jones started at 154 and won a piece of the heavyweight titles..James toney went up to heavyweight and was successful...could GGG repeat this feat?

        Sure, I think GGG could outbox John Ruiz too.

          Hell no lol! GGG won't be lineal champ in any division and he'll only get up to a paper title at 168lbs off faded Froch or Anthony Dirrel before retiring or forced to lose to Ward if he does move up in weight.

                  John Ruiz ruined the whole Roy heavyweight experience for me. If your in a division, you should be willing to fight the best there. I also did not like Pac at 154 with catch weights. Hopefully Cotto fights GGG, that would be terrific.
