Why don't the top 154lb fighters move up and try to take down GGG?

[285Kid]

GGG need to take the WBC & IBF belts then his done at 160

Lara, Boo Boo, Charlo twins, Vanes, K-9. these are not career defining wins....lol gimme a break

Obviously beating Canelo would be big. Although technically Canelo has fought at middleweight his last three fights.

I don't even count Canelo as a 154 fighter, he has not fought there since 2013

On the flip side of things:
What would it do career wise for any of the top 154 guys if they moved up and took GGG down?

Still waiting on the responses for this.

What would it do for GGG's career to move up and beat a champion at 168?

Lara, Boo Boo, Charlo twins, Vanes, K-9......They all could fight at 160 with no problem, If they really feel that they are the goods, why don't they move up and take down GGG. Sick of all this ducking in the game right now.

Lara has been calling for a fight with Golovkin since his narrow loss to Canelo; Team Golovkin act like he doesn't exist. Doubt that they'd want to step in with a quick, awkward, long southpaw like Andrade either.

Golovkin/Lara pretty much has to happen next. There are no other good options.

Golovkin's team tried to make the Lara fight last year after Lara called him out. HBO refused it.

Doesn't seem like they tried this year. They should after Monroe.

Depends on the champion. Beating past it Arthur Abraham isn't any better than what he has at middleweight.

Golovkin against the winner of Lemieux vs. N'dam in a unification fight is a better option I believe. Lara is a light middleweight.
