There's no guarantee he beats Canelo. Danny Jacobs, Saunders, and Charlo are still at 160lbs. Must be a GGG fan if you want him to move up for easy belts I guess. Some of us are boxing fans wanting good fights and not fanboys wanting accolades from easy fights.
No he shouldn't move up to 168 because he isn't a 168 pound boxer. He is a middleweight. He has tried for years to get all the belts. If he unifies 160 he should stay there and fight all worthy challengers until he retires. Middleweight is the old traditional weight class with the prestige and the history. !68 is a fairly new weight class with little history or prestige. The middleweight champion of the world is the 2nd most important champion after heavyweight. Besides has doesn't have enough prime years left to chase down and defeat all the 168 pound champions and he puts himself at an 8 pound disadvantage fighting naturally heavier bigger men.
