Their aint a challenge for him at either weight and mentioning 154 is laughable, even more absurd than the 155 League created by Canelo.
If he is to genuinely challenge himself he should do so at 168 I understand his and his teams reservations but he can't be considered great until he has challenged himself and actually fought a live dog opponent not completely wrote off before the gloves are laced.
I enjoy watching GGG fight but I switched off interest wise well before the Geale fight when I realised the guy does not belong at this weight and should clearly be campaigning at 168. I don't see how this scenario is any different to that of the 160 JCCJ coming in like a cruiser weight only GGG has fearsome boxing skills and does not need to rely solely on his size to overcome his opposition when his skills fail him like JCCJ's did when he faced his first live dog in Martinez.
Of course this presents us with the argument some of his opponents have in fact weighed more than him and some have even missed weight themselves but the fact remains he is still a far more superior boxer to these dudes he is facing and is far more skilled than anyone with maybe the exception of Lara whom can't take a solid did at 154 let alone a guy clearly belonging a weight above 160.
Lara is the best option off of the list but it would not be competitive when GGG caught up with him around 4-5 rounds in, another glorified mismatch in the waiting just like the ppv Lemiuex fight, I'll take a pass on the GGG fights until he moves up to 168 and challenges the contenders and title holders.

For me it's Canelo. He's calculated, packs a good punch, and has a sturdy chin. I still think GGG wins, but Canelo has the best chance to win IMO

I think it's Alvarez. Biggest potential wild card is Andrade, who seems to have ridiculous talent but has kind of screwed himself lately. It's hard to know based on is competition just how good he is. He may be good enough to beat Golovkin.
