    He has defended his title number of times, more times than 95% MW champions. He also helds the higgest ko ratio of any mw champion in history. He has a case already..

    I think he should fight Cotto. And Andy Lee.

    It would be great if he could get Mayweather or Canelo in the ring. He could make an effort in calling them out. Not just at TV but at a press conference of either of those guys. He would not even have to do the talking. Let his manager or trainer do the talking he just has to nod his head.

    Otherwise after 2 or 3 more fights at MW there are plenty of more recognizable fights at SMW. Froch sure would take it. JCC jr might take it, it was in the making before. Andre Ward (I think that Ward wants less of it then GGG). Or Kovalev.

    At MW GGG is to big of a fish in a small pond. If he wants his exposure to grow its inevitable that he has to go up to SMW.

    Hall of fame is what it is. Its about fame just as much as achievements. If you ask the casual sports fan who GGG is they have no idea.

    GGG should stay at 160lbs and beat all comers like hagler did, A long reign at middleweight will cement a HOF status in a few years. He will lose if he moves up as ward would if he went to 175.

    Not there yet, but he is on his way. I just worry that nobody wants to fight him.

    I really like GGG, but I think he needs more "career defining" wins. Or at least some wins over the undeniable elite of his weight class.

    Nope not now he needs to go where the fights are and stop saying he is being ducked by all up to 168 but when a 168 fighter calls him out he says he wants to stay at 160 for now. Then you aren't be I ducked if you aren't even going to up in weight to fight. He is in a division ruled by a damn WW he needs to get out it's just a big dead end he is already seen as the man at 160 no one will think he ducked anyone it's time to move up show he is elite and fight Ward!
