    Is GGG moving up to super middleweight??

    I just saw on ESPN.com that his next fight is at super middleweight. Is that just because it's a "comeback" fight and stuff, or does he have trouble making 160 in his advanced boxing age?

    He spent his career saying he was a small middleweight smaller than Canelo and small enough to make 154, so he’s just pulling some Diva Aside move on cab driver Rolls

        The fight is at 164 not 168. He will fight Canelo next at 160 mostly likely assuming Canelo beats Jacobs. He may soon move up to 168 but for this year he is still a middleweight. At age 37 he may have more trouble making 160 so why bother in a non title fight. He will make 160 for Canelo in September.

            No world title is on the line so what difference does it really make if they fight at 160 or 164???? How is that this diva mover, hater. It's a lousy fight for GGG but it would be just as lousy at 160 as it is at 164.
