    Yes, you can look it up here:

    Looks like Lacy was enough to place him p4p top 10. Eubank was 9 years prior

      Where is GGG now on the P4P list?

        Jack would draw some interest. As would Groves, Degale, and any number of guys. Even more interest than the dead weight at 160 because people would be intrigued to see GGG challenge himself.
        If money was the issue, then 168 would only be a positive move since there are better fights there than 160 (before anyone brings up Canelo, he clearly isn't fighting at 160 yet, let alone fighting Golovkin there).


        BTW, your sig, is he the British comedian that wears the crazy outfits?
        So you don't think GGG can wait these guys out? I have to admit I'd like to see him face Saunders, Canelo and Jacobs, but the waiting also seems pointless. What if they never do fight him? He can't keep fighting ordinary guys for sure.

        Yes it is! The lad himself Benny Hill!

          Did Ggg spend 9 years on the fringes of the division, in hometown Kazakhstan?

            If he's got all the belts, they can't avoid him if they wanna be taken seriously. Canelo needs him either way to restore some respect

                Yea, the waiting game is going nowhere. Jacobs is a "maybe". Sadly, Saunders isn't going to fight him. Apparently, they can't negotiate w/ Eubank. Canelo is not only a maybe, that will probably not happen until 2018, but it's also a very risky fight. I don't see why people are dying for this fight when GG will probably be 36 when it happens and Cenelo will be deeper into his prime.
                168 is wide open, with a lot of potentially high-action fights. I'm tellin ya...


                BTW, thx for the vid.

                  You never know

                  Sven beat Glenn Johnson....Joe blatantly ducked the hell out of Johnson.

                  At least Sven can throw a straight punch without slapping.

                    Yes, if he wasn't mid-thirties, I'd definitely recommend that he stay right where he's at. I just don't want to see him wait around and nothing happen. However, he still looks pretty young in there.

                      Yeah I'm with you but he keeps busy and needs only 4 fights to break Hopkins defense record (kinda), which probably happens next Sept. Puts a lot of pressure on Canelo to step up on that date, as promised.
