    I don't think he would do well at all. All the champs would knock him out. He doesn't look lean at 160. I think he would be a fat boxer at 175. The extra weight wouldn't increase his punching power but it would decrease his speed.

        Could Errol Spence, Keef Thurman or Terence Crawford beat GGG?

          No

          175 is a strong division, unlike 147

              no, the fighters are both bigger and better than him. and for the record i think spence could beat saunders at 160. hes terribly overrated, john ryder, a very green eubank jr and akavov (is that what hes called?) gave him fits.

                Absolutely. Historically it's uncommon for Middleweights to move up to LH. For Middleweight title holders its almost never. There are a few exceptions but few and far between. It's like you say there is a big jump in the size between the two divisions. That's one reason boxing added the SM class.
