In What Ways Can GGG "Step Up" In 2017?

[TripleGFightFan]

Middleweight division is dead and full of foreign fighters afraid to fight ggg sprinkled with american danny jacobs who wants to get compensated very handsomely to take the risk of getting KO'd again...possibly ruined going forward...so what can ggg do to "step up" since none of these soft puddin' "champs" and challengers don't want none?...

I think he can step up by first taking the Danny Jacobs fight...Danny is the only real credible threat to ggg at 160...and that's because of his KO power in both hands and is a true middleweight...he does a have a glass chin doe...so he could very well be swimming on the canvas if the two meet but at least it will be a real first legit middleweight champ...no lemule is not legit...he can then move up to 168 and take on Degale, Jack and Ramirez...all of those guys are champions and are fights that could put him into the hall of fame...if he really wants to cement his legacy...then he still needs to address that Andre Ward problem...because it hasn't been forgotten that ggg blatantly ducked Ward and barely speaks his name...if he does those things even win or lose versus Dre...at least he stepped up...breaking a welterweights eye socket is extremely far from "stepping up"...so let's have it...what is your blueprint for ggg to "step up" in 2017 and officially become official...

Jacobs is the guy he should fight next. Jacobs is one hell of a fighter. A win over Jacobs would be a great victory for any boxer good enough to beat him.Jacobs has speed, power and boxing skills. He has been KOing everybody he fights. Jacobs scares other boxers just like GGG does. Loud mouthed annoying Lara is a Haymon fighter just like Jacobs and a fight between the two of them could easily have been made. But Lara wants no part of Jacobs and won't even say his name.Jacobs would KO Lara in my opinion. There is little doubt in my mind that Canelo, Jacobs and GGG are the 3 best middleweights in the world. I think GGG is the best of the 3 but until they start fighting each other nobody knows for certain who is the best.

IN WHAT WAYS can HIS OPPONENTS step up in 2017 and find the balls to fight? THAT IS THE QUESTION.

- Canela
- Ward
- Froch
- Mayweather
- Chavez Jr

Turds are gonna complain no matter what he does because he's got white skin. "fans" forget that GGG is a throwback champion. He's a middleweight, and he is defending the middleweight title. It was no problem when Bernard Hopkins was beating up ice cream truck drivers for 45 years defending the same title. That was "making history" because he has black skin. GGG doesn't have to start moving up until someone gets lucky just so black fans can try to feel better about Rocky Marciano.

Lemieux was a legit world champion with few losses and many KO wins when he fought GGG. Lemieux wasn't given his world title. He won it in the ring over a good fighter. GGG deserves full credit for beating a fellow middleweight champion. Lemieux had to be at least as much a legit champion as Danny Garcia who won his belt by beating washed up Guerrero. Lemieux is still ranked as the 4th best middleweight in the world and he has had 2 good wins since losing to GGG.

What did Lemieux do before or after winning a VACANT title against a D level fighter?
