He's done, he made the same exact mistake as Chavez and that's moving up in weight. Unless he can move back down he's stuck at gate keeper status.
If both men stayed at 160 they could've become champions.
160 right now has multiple junior middles, Canelo, Andrade, Charlo, Lemieux. Eubank already proved he can hang with a top 3 MW when he fought BJS. Jacobs has been blasted out in 5 and dropped by Mora.
Now compare that to 168, you've got 3 fighters 6'2+ with Smith, Benavidez, Ramirez. Groves already beat his ass, you also have Braehmer. The only weak link is Truax but we all know he'll be replaced soon.
