      Even Joe Cazalghe moved up to 175. He needs to move up to 168 and fight the best fighters in that division.

        I voted for the right fight, but basically no he shouldn't moive up now. Continue to fight bums until the guys considered worthy step hop to plate ie Jacobs,bjs nelo

          Apart from fighting Jacobs or Saunders, i see no other fight at 160 that makes sense. In a way he will probably get little credit for beating those but i see no problem with him wanting all the belts.

          Saying that. i don't think he gets credit at 168 either. If he beats someone like DeGale, some people will be like "DeGale struggled with Medina". As it stands, Golovkin won't really get any credit from some people unless he went up to 175 and beat the best there. I'm a fan of his though but I don't see any reason why he can't jump to 175 though, other MW's have done it.

            I'd like him to fight Saunders and Jacobs before moving up because he deserves the ability to unify the division and he has no problems at all making 160. These guys are all scared of him though, they all talk big and then run away when the stuff gets real.

            If the Jacobs fight falls through, he should try for Saunders and if not, move up to face Ramirez.

              your forgetting about ducknelo which is the biggest money fight in boxing.golovkin at 175 makes no sense he would be dwarfed in size against those guys.those other middleweights were naturally bigger than ggg like bhop for example.

                Of course, but i'm sceptical that fight is even going to happen next year. Of course he should hang around for that. I just don't think Canelo will fight him in 2017 if GGG is still looking good. They will keep finding excuses.

                Well i'm not saying he should jump to 175 right now, of course he should test the water at 168, but for the right fight, why not?

                  I think he will finish his carrere in 160 its quite obvious to me,Maybe his right, like 168 is not a thing,there is no Toney,Jones or Mccallum there,i can see him makeing one jump for James and his Belts then going back,IMO K2 plan is now to cash out on Canelo,I thnik that people worry to much and Jacobs,Danny and Canelo will give him good fights,People like to laugh on BJS but his good boxer(he is holding Belt hostage thats why people hate him),after fighting this 3 guys im almost sure that his 0 will be gone,imo he shouldnt move up.

                  I would like situation which in Lara and bigger Charlo move up also Andrade later.

                    I think that team GGG dont care when this fight happen,they will be happy in 2017 or 2018, $ is $ in the end.
