    Ggg at 168

    If ggg goes to 168 for the wbss...which i suspect is the reason behind Sanchez talking....do you think he gets the same treatment as Arthur Abraham did in the super six?

      No, out of the supersix, I think he could have beaten anybody except Ward.

      GGG would beat Taylor, Green, Abraham.


      He would be in close battles with Froch, Kessler and Direll.

      Ward would be too much, too much craft, speed and size.

      GGG already fought Direll in ams twice and they had two close fights, I think they are 1-1.
      I don't know if Direll has the machismo to handle GGG 12 rounds like Jacobs did, sure he has the style.

      On the current 168, I would favor GGG favor over De Gale and Groves.

      I somehow think Ramirez due to his style and far superior size would be a bad match up for triple.

        I think he would beat any ofi the 168 pound belt holders. His team must think so because he make 160 with ease and would only be moving up for the challenge.

          168 is pretty weak right now. I think Gennady beats everyone except DeGale, who is a toss-up.
          The Super 6 would have given him problems. Right now though, is a great time for him to move up. I was against it a couple months ago but now that he's fighting Canelo, going to 168 after is a good move, IMO.

            As i have said before in another post...i think Abraham got jobbed against direll in the super six...and lost his undefeated record in the process. It would have dented his confidence and his faith in a fair system...and i think it forced him to become less agressive. Could ggg get caught in the same way if there is a hidden agenda behind this setup? Andre ward was led thru the super six on a gold leash and im sure that if he hadnt been...his story so far would be completely different. He has been living off that victory for years.

              that super 6 line up was terrible, more like the mediocre six. ward would have given him a competitive fight but he would have stopped him. he'd have beat the rest of them fairly comfortably.

                Mediocre? Ward, Froch and Abraham were better fighters than Jacobs, it's arguable that Dirrell was too. If they were mediocre then what is Golovkins resume?

                  The six was ruined when they flipped out direll and kessler. They had no real back up and an old glencoffee plus an average allan green kind of took the lustre off it.
