Wat weight is better for Golovkin in the trilogy 160IBF weight or 168?

asking Cuz although 168 is more comfortable physically, it is uncharted territory and he looked pudgy @ 165 vs Rolls

I actually thought GGG has looked very tight at 160 for a couple of years now when he’s on the scales

I don’t think Canelo will return to 160 anyway, so GGG isn’t going to have a choice

168 would definitely be better. I personally think he looked much better at the weigh in against Rolls and in the fight. He had snap in his punches that I haven't seen in awhile so I think the drain to 160 is taking too much out of him. He doesn't have to weigh in at the full 168 either.

I think Canelo is gonna pick a weight that puts GGG in a disadvantage

I didn’t think he looked that good bro

160 but I doubt it's an option.

He looked better at 164 than he did against Derev and better than he will look if he continues at 160. He may have gotten tagged quite a few times against Rolls but I think he generally looked physically better. Compare pictures of him against Rolls and his last several fights at 160. He looked much stronger and more defined.

Canelo's bouncing from weight class to weight class to throw everybody off.

I doubt he can suck down to 160 at this point. He was always too big for 154, so he campaigned at 155 for years and finally snuck into the 160 lb division.

Before you knew it, he jumped up to 168 after the GGG rematch and back down to 160 to face Jacobs. He faced Kovalev at 175 just 6 months later....so, only God knows what weight class he fights at. Lol

Who's the Cruiserweight Champ? Canelo can campaign there giving everyone a 177lb Catchweight.

It's hard to say to be honest, but if I had to guess, I would say 160 because Canelo might have a tough time getting all the way back down to middleweight. It probably wouldn't matter though because Canelo would likely insist on 168 anyway, as others have mentioned.
