No 160 is finally starting to get a bit more depth in terms of quality opposition, why should he move up after 2 close fights which many people had him winning.

Had him winning lol right now that's a big question if Golovkin is still able to beat any good middleweight
I think GGG has lost alot of his explosiveness and speed.
He should he can still box and come forward but I think it's the speed that hes lost the most at his age.
Go up to 168 and try win a belt.
A lot. It is not one word. He's, as in 'he has' (or 'he is' depending on context)
Not even going to try and decipher the start of that second sentence....wtf mate? Been drinking down at the Greenwood Straight Man's Pub again?

YES because
1. I think what worries GGG is speed (see Brook and Nelo fights), so yes, 168 guys will be heavier handed but slower.
2. Staying as your lowest possible weight and dropping 12 pounds to make weight is bad past +35.
3. He needs to stop overtraining in altitude which is also bad past 35 and linked to making 160.
4. Winning belts at 168 would be a new fresh start, fight again Jacobs or Nelo for belts he already won in the past is not that motivating IMO
He gets killed at 168, if a mediocre MW like Jacobs could give him hell due to his size, he has no hope. He can beat a shot fighter like Degale who is ripe for the picking but that's pretty much it.
People forget we've already seen 3 quality MW's move up to 168 and fail miserably.
-Chavez Jr. was top 3 in the division and went life and death with 149th ranked Brian Vera.
-Martin Murray was ranked 7th in the division and lost to 12th ranked and a shot Arthur Abraham.
-Chris Eubank was a top 5 MW and got badly beaten by Groves.
5'11 Groves is the same size as Jacobs and a much better fighter overall. 6'3 Hart has huge knock out power. Zurdo is 6'2 1/2 with a 75" reach. Uzcategui is 6'1 with knock out power. Braehmer schooled one of the top prospects at 160, Brant. Smith is 6'3 with knock out power etc.

The mediocre MW Jacobs shcooled and koed Truax who won a title at 168 beating De Gale last year.
GGG would just mope the floor with De Gale, same with Smith who struggled with a Thai boxer, could not hurt him.
Zurdo couldn't KO a guy like Angulo, who barely is TOP 50.
You guys sleeping on GGG.
He beat 100% all of 168 except Benav and Groves where you have a competitive war just like with Nelo.

Jacobs also beat most of 168.
Truax was beaten in the rematch by Degale and dispatched of in 1 round by 17th ranked Dirrell. Regardless though, Degale is currently ranked around 10th in the division, he's not elite. He's a shot fighter ripe for the picking and won't be the same after Jack brutalized him:
Zurdo is not a knock out artist, he out boxes you. His opponent was undefeated, 6'1 with a 75" reach and 83% KO ratio, those types of physicals would pose any MW serious problems.
Jacobs is known as a knock out artist and he couldn't knock out Arias or Sulecki. His best win is over a guy that should've lost to Andy Lee.
