Will GGG fight at 168 at least once before he retires?

I doubt it. Even though he keeps himself in excellent condition, he's 36, that's old in boxing. Plus, 160 is a glamour division with a richer history, more money to be made etc.

168 is unknown outside of hardcore heads.

Even then, historically 168 is probably the weakest of the “stop gap” divisions

GGG and Abel Sanchez have been talking about possible fights at 168 for years. The fight with Ward was discussed but it never happened. Fans are interested in GGG vs Gilberto Ramirez. It seems like GGG’s walking around weight is higher in the last couple years, and the weight cut to 160 may be getting to be too much. A 41 year old Hopkins improved after back to back losses by leaving 160 to go all the way up to 175.

If GGG loses will he go up to 168? If he wins will he go up to 168 after a few more fights?

I actually think he stays whereever the money's at win or lose. That is assuming of course its a competitive loss. If Canelo blow him out then his bankability craters.

true, true.

Now that GGG has lost a MD, does he try to win a 3rd fight with Canelo, try to take BJS’ belt, fight Charlo, or go up to 168?
