GGG has barely started getting exposure in the USA wait till he has more and then they have no option but to have to face him. Similar to how Floyd had to fight Canelo because of the demand for the fight and the money it generated. GGG is alot better then Canelo. Have you guys forgtten that GGG called out everyone from 154-175?
The problem is there is no demand in the MW division. He needs to move to light middle or super middle to force big fights which is a shame.
Here is the comparison with Abraham. People are calling for him to move up but his advantages at middleweight wont transfer up with him and he would look mediocre.

Im not criticising his choice of opponents. There isnt a great deal of depth at middle. Just, I can see someone like Sturm will make him look ordinary. Sturm isnt a puncher but it will be his class that would trouble Golovkin.
