    He's 33 years old, obviously he's a middleweight. Not everyone can move up 18 weight classes, mainly because they aren't tiny little humans that started boxing as a teenagers that grew as they got older. GGG is a grown ass man. This isn't jumping from 122 pounds to 126 or 112 to 115 at the age of 20 or whatever.

    Where are the better fights truly? Right now the biggest fights for GGG are against Canelo and Cotto. Those are the biggest fights for him without question (not including Mayweather of course). If he goes to 168, who is there now? Ward? And then what? Groves, DeGale, Dirrell, Bika, not exactly big names here we're talking about. The only big name there is Froch but who knows what the hell hes going to do with his career at this point. Same with Ward (is he going to stay at the Chavez weight class of 172 or is he going to 175 or going down to 168? we don't know).

    Might as well stay put at 160, try to force his mandatory against Cotto, unify the titles and get a big Canelo fight THEN move up in weight. Literally no reason to move up right now at all.
    I know why GGG is staying at MW, for the money. But you can't say GGG wants the money and then not expect these guys to be doing the same thing. Avoiding GGG is simply better for their career than facing him, for GGG it's the opposite, while he doesn't "have" to fight SMW's. Cotto, Canelo and Floyd don't have to fight GGG, but whatever praise they got for doing it, GGG would get it for moving up to 168, especially if he took on Ward or Froch first. The difference though is all these other guys have moved up 3 or more divisions, GGG hasn't done it once.

    He could crush Floyd, Cotto and Canelo I can't be any more impressed by GGG. The guy in my opinion is top 3 P4P now and I expect him to beat the **** out of anyone from 160 and below. I give Rigo the same BS for the same reason. You can't say it's hard to get a fight when by simply moving up there are MUCH better names than they're currently fighting.

    I don't like one sided ass kickings or boxing lessons, I like competition. All those guys I named would give GGG tough fight, that's what I want to see. How good is he really? Calling out all former WW's while saying "no one will fight me..." He or his team, are fine letting him beat up no-hopers and waiting on the sidelines. That's no different than the Al Haymon approach as far as I'm concerned. It's like Ward, he should have moved up after the Super Six instead of sitting on the sidelines forever. I like guys moving up in weight to keep the challenge fresh. WW is a stacked division where staying there and unifying is a real accomplishment. MW? Not so much.

      I assumed he was Gennadys wife

      There is no way a man would wave the Pom poms that hard. It's like she's auditioning for Bring it On 3

          Except he has tried to fight at SMW too - had a fight with Chavez last year at 168 and Chavez pulled out. They tried with Froch and his team wasn't interested. Ward has not been available until he signed with Roc Nation (and now he's got a tune up coming up).

          So you're completely wrong here. He's been trying to fight guys from 154 to 168. There is no point moving up unless he can secure a name, no point abandoning 160 at this point in time or else he's just in the same exact boat at 168. He should try to unify, get a big fight, then move up. Why people want him to move up immediately is bizarre.
