    Journeyman Murray took him 11. Loads of guys would take him 12.

    Andrade, Lara and degale in my opinion maybe Canelo but he is too naturally aggressive

    Ggg has never fought at 168 so until he does get the fantasies out of your head. GGG is a small MW like all the GGG fanboys have been saying so we cannot be sure how well he does at a higher weight class and what he will bring up. GGGs camp has also made it clear he will not move up so lets be real and talk about actual possibilities.

    I am personally interested in seeing him fight Derevyanchenko in about a year to a year and a half, Khytrov in a couple of years, Andy Lee, Jacobs, BJS, and Canelo.

    Derevyanchenko is interesting and while I don't think he is absolutely ready yet he did destroy Soliman who beat Wade (Soliman was robbed watch the fight). He has decent power and is always on balance. He is also a very smart fighter and may be an actual threat to GGG in a couple of years. I think the fight will possibly be a chess match and could very well go 12.

    Khytrov would need alot more time to round himself out as a fighter and while the fight would be exciting I think GGG picks him apart and it does not go 12. I was once very hopeful of his career but he sometimes look likes he has regressed into a plodder. Then in the next fight he is pivoting and using angles and smart aggression. I think we will see him in some exciting fights but I think he is a level below GGG and he might always be a level below. His best bet would be to get GGG on the slide and hope its enough but I think GGG will retire before it happens.

    Andy Lee has stated his best bet would be to go 4 rounds and throw the kitchen sink at GGG. He has the power to get lucky but GGG is a smart fighter and most likely knocks him out in under 5.

    Jacobs seems very talented but I think he already knows he isn't going to last 12 and so he is happy to defend a paper title against a shopworn Mora. I really think he could give GGG fits but he lacks heart and balls.

    Bjs is thee most likely candidate to go 12 and he is talented and skillful. At this moment he only seems to want to cash out and with that mentallity I can see him going the full 12 in survival mode to collect a check and settle for being the man who went 12.

    Canelo... Is mostly all talk so I don't know if this will happen. He can't go 12 if he won't fight. I think he wants to win Bjs belt so he isn't enforced to give GGG a favorable split. He will then offer GGG chump change and when GGG turns him down he will try to change the narrative. Hopefully GGG takes the money and knocks this b*tch out anyway.
