    He doesnt have the frame for supermiddle. But something tells me if down the line there is a marquee fight there we will see him there. Depends where the big money is

    160 - he might dabble at 168 like Floyd has done at 154 but avoid anyone elite in that weight class

    agreed, he doesnt have the one-punch power or physical strength to go to 160.

    if he goes to mw he will get abused.

    imo, the 5'9.5" inch trout was noticeably bigger.

    I think the most he will go to is 160 if not a lifelong JrMW. to go higher he would need to keep his power and work a lot on his stamina. Plus maybe he's already close to his physical prime and who knows if he'll be one of those boxers who burn out early?

    MW he is probably too short for SMW even thoug he wouldn't be really bad but just not a top 3 or even 5 fighter

    If he's walking into the ring @ 172lbs then he wont be fighting @ 154 for to much longer....

    168 is where he would stop IMO.

    160 if he is smart, meaning if he retires when he shoul, at 168 he will be manhandled!!!

    Heavyweight.

    He'll get super fat when he's 30-something and he'll become a James Toney- like creature

    160 tops.

    Hes too short to compete at 168.

    Theres plenty of guys over 6 foot at that division
