    Should/can juicless Nelo make 154?

    I think he has more fights there and the only one I want to see him(or golovkin for that matter) fight at middleweight is the saunders-andrade winner. Spence and thurman and maybe even danny garcia can be oppnents if he moves to 154, no catchweights needed. Crawford is also possible.

    He could build a hell of a resume.

    He can and he did not long ago for Smith but it's very hard for him. i don't think he was ever juicing. He was better and threw more punches in the 2nd GGG fight and they tested the hell out of him for that fight. I believe his bad meat story. I honestly believe GGG deserved to win both fights but he fought extremely well in the 2nd fight and made it close and got the win. He will probably get a third close debated win over GGG in the third fight. I think he beats everyone at 160 and if he has no trouble staying strong at 154 I think he would slaughter Thurman, Crawford and Garcia and beat Spence and every top guy at 154. He should just fight at the weight he feels and performs the best at which is probably 160. He was all bone and muscle with no extra fat for GGG2.

        Are you mad bro? There are many challengers at Middleweight.

        - Jermall Charlo
        - Sergey Derevyanchenko
        - Gennady Golovkin III
        - Danny Jacobs
        - David Lemieux
        - Ryota Murata
        - Billy Joe Saunders

        - Jermell Charlo
        - Jarrett Hurd
        - Erislandy Lara II
        - Jaime Munguia

        - Chris Eubank Jr.

        Many fights here which would be great at 160.

          My initial reaction was 'wtf why', but you make a good point. All the bigger names are still at 147. If he CAN make it, then yes he should. I think he outgrew that division long time ago and will struggle mightily though. He can drag them up to a catchweight for a big money fight, like 157 or so. Pretty sure all of them would move up for that.
