    GGG at 168?

    People are calling him to move up for a long time now, but how would he fare at 168?

    I think that he is not big enough for 168. He is perefect size MW and he is 35.

    I still think he wins the titles at 168 but he wouldn't be as dominant?

    DeGale - GGG would be a great fight.

    Your thoughts?

    Agree. People telling him to move up just want to see him lose. He's an average sized MW and 35. No need to go anywhere.

      plus he has really good fights at 160.

      Canelo, Sanders, Eubank, Jacobs rematch..

          I've never had a problem with GGG straying at MW, but most people are too hypocritical. For Guys they hate, they have to move up for some reason (So they'll lose), but guys they like are perfectly fine at the weight they're at. GGG should just ride out at 160, and Canelo should have stayed at 154 if you ask me.

            I don't think Canelo can make 154 anymore. He will be the better fighter at 160 for sure.

            I don't think that GGG would be better at 168. He would be around 170 fight night being outweighted by some 15-20lbs by most opponents.

                I'm not sure if Canelo can make 154 after fighting at 164 next, but I'm pretty sure he could had done it again after Liam Smith. He should have faught Charlo at 154 instead of JCC Jr. If GGG still has fights left in him after handling all of his MW business after 1 or 2 years, maybe he could take 1 or 2 fights at 168, but I wouldn't care if he doesn't because 160 is clearly his best natural weight class.

                  I never liked the idea.

                  I always said Ward, Froch, etc...were too big for him. Those guys absorb his power and wouldn't budge.
