    If he can’t healthily make 160 then fair enough. I just think they’re are much better options for him at 160.
    If he goes to 168, they need to make Smith-Jacobs.

      I think that will be the plan. Smith likely moves up to LHW in a year or so as there are better fights there than at SMW. DAZN is light on SMWs though for Jacobs. Not sure who else is there aside from Smith? But if Canelo goes to LHW for Kovalev, good chance he's never coming down to MW again so maybe GGG jumps up to SMW as well?

      Jacobs vs Ryder maybe?

        The Ryder fight would get him an interim belt and would set the Smith fight up. I don’t rate Ryder though, he’s a hard working pro but he’s nowhere near the top level IMO. Lemieux is probably the only other option.

          I don't rate Ryder either, but I'm just trying to look for any potential fights for him at 168 lol.

          Lemieux is actually a good shout. I forgot he moved up but that fight makes some sense.

            Nah Canelo and GGG are still the #1 and #2 in the division.

            Andrade is probably #4 or #5 tbh.
            I'd be happy to see Canelo v GGG again, although there seem to be plenty on here who wouldn't.
            Canelo v Andrade would be for undisputed so it's clearly a worthwhile matchup.

            Outside of GGG and Canelo, who do you rate above Andrade?

              Jacobs Andrade friends. Will only fight if it makes a lot of $$$ sense

                Yeah I’m fine with Canelo-Andrade it’s a good fight. I’d just prefer the third GGG fight. I actually scored both to GGG (he clearly won the first, the second was admittedly extremely close) so I feel there’s unfinished business there.

                Jacobs would be the clear #3 for me based on his Middleweight resume and also his performances against Canelo and GGG. I’d probably rank Charlo #4 and then Andrade #5 but there probably interchangeable, I’d just give Charlo the edge based on his wins over J-Rock, and Korobov who I feel is better than any of Andrade’s opponents at 160.

                  We're not too far apart there, I also had GGG winning both fights and I agree Andrade and Charlo are interchangeable.
                  I don't have Jacobs in there since he's moving up.

                    Andrade would destroy Jacobs, it would be a pretty one sided fight. I'm sure of it. Just like i'm still sure Charlo would knock him out.

                      Yeah that’s fair enough man. I wasn’t aware Jacobs was definitely moving up. If he goes to 168 I’d like to see him face Smith.
