Who will be king at 160 after GGG retires?

How exactly is he conquering it presently?

 

160 is wide open right now. Charlo is also effectively retired. Munguia or Janibek most liekly

 

Whole division looks average at best , I don't see anyone that can dominate 160. Probably end up with four B level belt holders

 

King Vacant

 

MW is in a terrible place right now.

 

From Kazak to Kazak possibly. It will clear up eventually, though it definitely doesn't look promising.

Waiting to see if Czerkaszyn breaks into the top 10.

 

i don't see any stand outs.
but you never know, there might be a sleeping devil out there.

 

If he decides to make such a move, and I doubt he will, the next Middleweight king will be Canelo.

 

Hamzah Sheeraz

 

Maybe Munguia but he needs to start stepping up his competition. Janibek Alimkhanuly looks to be the goods and could potentially take GGG's place as another Kazakh terror at 160 but time will tell.

 

Khysniak probably but he's still an amateur and has yet to turn over.


Out of the prospects Sheeraz looks decent enough to hold onto a belt if he can get past a game Bentley later this year.

 

Janibek appears to be nest in line.

 

To tell you where the middleweights may be heading, on July 1st Germany's Vincenzo Gualtieri is taking on undefeated Brazilian Esquiva Falcao for the IBF middleweight world title. That's the belt Golovkin relinquished after stopping Ryota Murata last year. Not a pretty picture.

 

Gleb Bakshi, if he gets the opportunities.
