    He drained himself, everyone knows that..but 173 does not equal being a small middleweight

      He shouldn't move up until he gets that Canelo fight.

        He wants to unify the division and I respect that goal, but in order to get a real challenge, I think he has to move up. It's the only thing to do. He could possibly do that and unify if the IBF doesn't pull up another Dominic Wade he can't get to in time.

        Yes.

        He should definitely move up to 168.

          Moving up requires incentive. Either money or respect. He wont get either at SMW.
          He fought Wade a Haymon guy. But you cowards love that excuse .

            Canelo comes in at 175 yet some think he is belongs at 154.

            13 pounds is not that much re-hydration in boxing.

            Pacquiao went up 17 pounds in the 1st JMM fight.

            Margarito was known to weight upwards of 160, and did Cotto and Cintron. Yet all three contested at their ideal weight at 147.

            What's the problem with fighting at your ideal weight? Specially when there's nothing at 168.

              There's no big fights at 168, he's still hoping that Canelo will give him a payday.

                If he makes 154 then he is a 154 fighter right?

                  I'd be more interested in him moving up if Ward was at 168 still.

                    Glad you agree that GGG is a 160 lb fighter. When it becomes difficult to make, he should move up. Or if a highly lucrative fight presents itself, not simply because haters are desperate to see him lose to a bigger boxer.

                      I think he should move up to cruiserweight and get ktfo so the boxing hipsters that hate him will be happy
