Agree with both you and Ray. I'd love to see Floyd and GGG at their best weights not exceeding 160 with no weight gains imposed on Floyd. That is not going to happen and I dont expect Floyd to do it. All kinds of safety issues would be raised.
All the junior welts are as big as Floyd so there are still fights at 147 as they begin to move up. Slim pickings mind you. Garcia will have to face the winner of Aydin/Postal.Could be an outside shot for Martinez/Floyd. More chance of that happening then 3G against either one imo. Floyd does not have a lot of stellar fights to choose from after Khan in his weight area.
3G's selection is just as scant. Martinez is not going to fight him so I think people need to move on. Martinez is going to cash out over the next two years.
Rubio is the mandatory for Martinez and I think Martinez will be looking for the winner of Cotto/Alvarez should it get done or come in under the radar and get Cotto. The Wbc will then let Rubio fight for the interim.
Barker has a date with Sturm and then a rematch clause he can execute if he loses so he's kinda busy. There is also a huge middleweight showdown simmering in Britain. Btw that's the fight I want at middle. Barker/3G. Quillin has an upcoming date with Jacobs and my money will be on Danny. Not only that Quillin imo and his people have no interest in facing the Russian. 3G it seems is just to much of a killer for his own good. He's gone and successed himself right out of the big fights. Perhaps if he takes a dive he will be able to get one.
Ward has offered him a fight at 168. He did say he would fight anyone from 154 to 170.
