Janibek is an all time great talent and will dominate 160, 168 and 175.

    Janibek is a complete fighter and the next undisputed middleweight champion. His frame is enormous, it is that of a light heavyweight. Janibek is actually only operating at 80% because he's drained but once he moves up he'll be at his best and nobody can compete with him at 168 besides Iglesias and Pacheco imo. He will beat everyone at 168 and then move up to clear light heavyweight and retire as an ATG. I guarantee he would be competitive with Bivol right now if that fight were randomly made. He is the most underrated champion in the whole sport, a future pfp great, but he's 32 and needs to get a move on.

    I think Janibek will surpass GGG

    He is a great fighter could be the best I have ever seen live when he fought in Sydney.
    Hopefully he can get some big fights.

    Hes a one trick weight bully. Clearly talented, but also limited. In his last two fights he showed some of his limitations against guys who were completely overmatched. I also question his stamina, but I think its probably an issue due to the weight cut.

    But no one at 160 is beating him anytime soon.

    Janibek is really good but I think he will become even better.

    Middleweight is extremely slim pickings at the moment. He's the best of a bad bunch. I think the chance of him dominating 3 weight classes is the same as a snowflakes in hell.

    He needs to get more active. He should be fighting every 2 or 3 months like GGG did, not once a year. The opponent doesn't matter that much as long as he keeps busy and stays in the headlines so that he grabs the attention of regular fans. Supposedly Janibek vs Adames is in the works though, so hopefully we see that fight soon.

    Agreed, the guys 32 years old and has 17 fights under his belt and he's going to dominate?

    You don't dominate anything fighting once a year.

    He hasn't fought often nor been tested enough to make that claim. He's got talent for sure but he hasn't reached the level of GGG quite yet.

    I don't see anything special about him.
