      Better to defend his title than fight a random guy at 168. Only people worth fighting there are Chavez, Ward, Froch, Kessler and none of those guys are available. Same with DeGale, Dirrell and Bika as well.
      Random guy at 168 is better than another Adama/Ishida type of guy at 160.

      An example is Arthur Abraham, he is not a random guy, he's a champ, but a beatable champ and a better puncher and has a better chin than anyone at 160. AA has flaws but his strengths make for the most interesting GGG fight to date.

          Abraham is fighting Robert Stieglitz again.

          Abraham-Stieglitz IV on tapBy Dan Rafael | February 26, 2015 Robert Stieglitz and 168-pound titlist Arthur Abraham have been ordered to meet for a fourth time.
          Get ready for the fourth chapter of the Arthur Abraham-Robert Stieglitz rivalry.

          Abraham (42-4, 28 KOs), who retained his super middleweight belt by decision in a rematch with England's Paul Smith on Saturday, was expected to next defend against former four-time middleweight titlist and fellow German star Felix Sturm in what would be a really big fight in their country.

          However, on Wednesday the WBO ordered Abraham and former titlist Stieglitz (47-4-1, 27 KOs), also of Germany, to meet in a mandatory fight. The sides have 20 days to make a deal or a purse bid will be ordered.

              Those are okay but as for his next fight why not go to 168 for a fight to make it at least interesting.

                The inference is fairly clear. You want him to move up, fine, but right now with May in sight there's nothing to move up to but anyone worth a damn at 168 already has a fight and those that haven't aren't interested.

                  News Flash: Tureno Johnson or Monroe aren't interesting.

                    What makes it more interesting if it's the same caliber of fighter? The equivalent of Johnson/Monroe at 168 are guys like who? Here is a list http://www.iboboxing.com/rankings/168.html

                    I guess it would be like Timothy Bradley fighting Luis Carlos Abregu or something like that, at best given who's available. Doesn't matter to me either way. The fight that matters isn't in May its after this fight.

                      Do you know how to read? He said anyone worth a damn at 168 who don't already have a fight scheduled aren't interested in fighting Golovkin in May.
