    Not yet. The Jacobs fight is still a good one and obviously the canelo fight is massive if it ever happens. If he comes through them he should move up. Super middle is not that strong at the moment though with ward moving up and froch retiring.

      Yep. And two close fights with Lara & Trout. People favor a couple 154 lb'ers over Canelo & we aren't sure how good of a middleweight he is yet. Weight is the only thing middleweight about Canelo. The rest of his physical characteristics are all wrong for middleweight

        Yea he needs to look for challenges.

        I have no interest in his fights until he is evenly matched.

          Agree on this,but this loseing to WW ,first it was CW of 152,secound thing is wrong gameplan(they belived that they can box with Floyd,can you belive it?),and it was not this Canelo,i would give more credit to GGG for beating Canelo in MW now,then i give Floyd for Canelo from 2012.Also i think that in 152 GGG have no chance with Floyd.

          overall there is no Huge wins in MW in terms of legacy but neither in SMW.

            If It is James DeGale or Badou Jack then yes I'd like that I think Ramirez is too green I'd like him to beat another top 10 opponent get the Mexican fanbase behind him then once that has happened I'd like GGG to fight him.

              he just needs to grow a pair.

              there is competition at 160 but he doesnt want to fight them either, all he wants to do is create an image of a great fighter while taking on scrubs and fool the common moron. he doesnt want to actually go for greatness and risk being exposed.

              jacobs, canelo, lara, andrade, degale, jack, ramirez.. anyone would be fine, triple gay dont want it regardless of weight

                  I would say no,as i posted earlier i think he will get tested by BJS,DJ and Canelo and i think that he will lose his 0 in this 3 fights maybe rematches.There is possiblity to jump to SMW for James only and go back again,154 is busy now and they will move up to 160 to chase Canelo payday.

                      I think so. He should start really exploring his options at 168.
