    GGG is now considered retired. Who do you think will conquer 160 again?

    160 is wide open right now. Charlo is also effectively retired. Munguia or Janibek most liekly

    Whole division looks average at best , I don't see anyone that can dominate 160. Probably end up with four B level belt holders

    From Kazak to Kazak possibly. It will clear up eventually, though it definitely doesn't look promising.

    Waiting to see if Czerkaszyn breaks into the top 10.

    If he decides to make such a move, and I doubt he will, the next Middleweight king will be Canelo.

    Maybe Munguia but he needs to start stepping up his competition. Janibek Alimkhanuly looks to be the goods and could potentially take GGG's place as another Kazakh terror at 160 but time will tell.

    Khysniak probably but he's still an amateur and has yet to turn over.


    Out of the prospects Sheeraz looks decent enough to hold onto a belt if he can get past a game Bentley later this year.

    To tell you where the middleweights may be heading, on July 1st Germany's Vincenzo Gualtieri is taking on undefeated Brazilian Esquiva Falcao for the IBF middleweight world title. That's the belt Golovkin relinquished after stopping Ryota Murata last year. Not a pretty picture.

    Gleb Bakshi, if he gets the opportunities.
