    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.
    gee i dont know

    maybe someone at 168 could handle his power better

    I doubt GGG gets his big fight after this one. There is nothing big at 160

      So give me someone that is, and is willing to fight in May?

      It's easy to say move to 168, it's a lot harder to actually name someone that's willing and available.

        I dont know how many times I have to say it. A guy at the same caliber of Tureno Johnson is fine if its at 168. Johnson is a fringe contender at best- Im sure there are plenty of fringe contenders at 168 available

          If HBO was smart they would put him on the mega fight undercard! Great exposure. Who cares if it's against a tomato can

            He should go up and kill groves, that would be more interesting than anyone else. The only reason I don't see him moving up is because he'd fight again three months later, he won't want to shrink back down so soon after.

                  That's not a name

                  You said somebody of the same caliber of Johnson is good if he's at 168.... so names....who?

                  Evidently him being a MW is shit no matter what he does since you think fighting the same caliber of opponent is different only in weight classes

                    Guys what part of GGG saying he wants to unify the MW division (meaning a fight with Cotto) do you not understand? Why move up to 168 and o back down to 160? It would mess his body up. He has been weighing less than 160 for his fights. Let him fight 4 times clearing out the division then he will move up

                      GGG fanboys are the worst

                      name me one non-GGG fanboy that wants to see him fight Johnson.

                      He's going to be 33 by his next fight. I want to see him make the most of his fights in his prime. He's not getting squat at 160
