    I wouldn't be against him moving to 168 and I think the larger guys there would be more willing to face him than a lot of these middleweights are.

    Problem is the top guys at 160-Alvarez, Jacobs, Saunders, Lee, and Eubank are just as highly regarded as the top guys at 168-DeGale, Groves, Dirrells, Rameriz, and Jack.

    If he moves up to 168 he also removes himself from an Alvarez fight and that's the biggest fight out there for him and he ends any type of record for title defenses he may be pursuing.

    Personally I'd like to see him stay active at 160 until the big fights come. With HBO's financial backing(and his age) he's going to land a major opponent and probably sooner than later.

    Since BJS is impossible to get a fight with and Eubank Jr don't want it the only option is to move up.

    Looking the list of top 10 MW I hope it´s Andy Lee. He is known fighter so it would sell at regular HBO. If it´s not Lee, other top 10 guys are ducking (Quillin, Jacobs, Saunders, Eubank jr.) or already lost to Golovkin (Lemieux, Monroe jr., Stevens).

    At 154 you have Lara, Trout and Charlo bros but they want no part of GGG. At 168 Abraham is fighting Murray, Groves has fight signed, Badou and Degale are supposed to fight each other and Zurdo is injured. I´m not sure what Dirrell bros and Bika are up to.

    So, we have Lee (at 160), Dirrell bros and Bika (at 168). I would choose Dirrell.

    Rumor on the street, is Chris Algieri is the front runner! He got a taste of some WW power and Said hell no, we need a feather fisted puncher next!

    The other thing is should we, as fans, condone the current middleweight division just waiting out the champ? Personally I'd rather see them scurry around earning **** money than cashing in on vacant straps they could have fought the real champ for had they had more balls.

    As a ggg fan I agree.I'm tired of these cowards at 160. Just go to 168

    Khurtsizde, Lee, NDam or even Korobov are ALL better than Heiland.

    NDam and Khurtsizde would be good plan Bs. As for Lee, he needs a win as he's coming off a loss and a draw.
