      168 ain't the strongest division so worse case he can hang with them. I personally think he beats anywhere there except Benavidez & I think I maybe a lil too much of a Benavidez fan by saying that lol. That would be a hell of a Sept. 2020 fight doe either way imo. Lil early for it to happen til sometime next year or maybe even 2021.

        How long was GGG at 160 with the 154-168 is easy?

        Again, his style, with many greats before him, continue the tradition of the sweeet science and are studied by gyms and new kids.
        GGG, at age 18 won a amateur world championship at light welterweight (141 lb), then he won medals/world championships at welterweight, superwelter and middleweight. He turned pro 10 years later than Canelo at age 25.

        Can he hang at 168 vs the elite? With rehydration clauses and his granite chin he possibly can. I'd like to see him vs Callum Smith or David Benavidez, that would be good fights.
