    Instead of GGG-Canelo this fall, how about GGG-Stevenson at 175?

    I know triangle theory is imperfect, but bare with me. Caleb Truax did just as well against James Degale as Badou Jack and Rogelio Medina did. That's the level Jack is on. He couldn't drop chinny George Groves at 168 (who most would pick GGG over) and fought a very competitive fight with him. He couldn't drop chinny Adonis Stevenson. And yet, he almost beat Stevenson. Caleb Truax's equal almost beat Stevenson.

    Where does GGG come into this? Danny Jacobs dominated Caleb Truax. GGG beat Danny Jacobs, with a big weight disadvantage to boot.

    Many people have clamored for GGG to go up in weight and win a title in another division. I think Stevenson is there for the taking for GGG, let alone any top fighter in his division. What do you guys think? I would personally like to see it.

    Rather see GGG vs Ramirez 168 or a unification at 160. Don't care to see him fight canelo again

      I'd rather see Cownelo vs. Stevenson. Just forsake any kind of testing and see what happens. Cownelo turn up on fightnight weighing 250 lb.

        I don't see GGG being able to go up to 175. he's not a weight bully. he's been a 160 fighter his whole career and walks around near that weight too.

            GGG vs Benavidez at 168 instead. but Golovkin will never move up. Too late. He'll retire at 160. He's not built like Hopkins.

              Whenever ggg is pushed to go up in weight his fans come up with terrible excuses, he’s a regular sized middleweight he isn’t small like canelo

                If GGG fought Stevenson his haters on here would say he was just ducking Canelo. I want him to get the chance to get the win over Canelo I thought he should have got in the first time. Stevenson's age is showing and he will lose soon. Jack will probably beat him if they fight a rematch.

                  Adonis can't fit it into his schedule.

                  Priorities-
                  1) Pimping out teens.
                  2) Staring in the mirror.
                  3) Polishing his crown.
                  4) Training
                  5) Fighting

                  He's just too busy for some middleweight.
