Should GGG just move up now?

    Once the canelo talks fall through, Jacobs will not take that GGG fight and Saunders will only take it for around 8 mil and k2 don't seem reckless with money like haymon or rybanisky.
    Should he dare to be great go up and take the belts off ramirez and Sturm and have a big unification fight with degale (once he beats badou jack) in the UK to become a two time unified champion.

    He's not getting older and he's division are full of guys who are scared I think if he stays he doesn't achieve his potential.

    I think Jacobs will take the GGG fight.

    Why's that? He's mentioned everyone but GGG that leads me to believe he doesn't want any parts of it.

    At his point I think he sticks around to break the record then moves up

    I think these guys are gunna try wait him out till they see his losing to father time, in the mean time he doesn't make big pay days and is accused of beating 'the bums' of the division

    Because Eubank Jr., Daniel Jacobs, BJS and Andy Lee are much more intresting, competitive fights than against De Carolis, Badou Jack and other unknown fighters.

    Because his Quillin fight made miserable numbers and it won't get any better with anyone besides GGG. Canelo or BJS isn't about to fight him for his secondary belt. If WBA mandates it, he will need to fight GGG.

    Yes. Nobody at 160 is gonna be able to test him. Id like for him to show us what hes capable of before he retires.

    I think he would take it if like Saunders he makes retirement money, my guess is he vacates and blames it on haymon, but I could be wrong it will be nice to GGG fight someone live again not just tryna survive. I can't take anymore wades

    So what if he's being accused, I'm sure he doesn't lose sleep at night.

    I find that highly unlikely.

    Eubank would get smoked although his activity and power would be interesting he has **** defence, lee is finished hes lost nearly every fight until his power saved him, Jacobs won't take it unless its life changing money.

    At least at super middleweight there's the degale who would really test him all round and Smith would test his chin, Ramirez and jack are more competitive than the other guys coz at least there bigger men.
