    Rubio has lost a lot of fights. I don't see what he has to offer at all. GGG needs big fights and at 32 he is good at staying busy and adding filler, but I expect more. I don't buy the excuse that noone will fight him.
    who do you think will realistically fight him at 160?

    There are a lot of good fights if he steps up in weight or calls someone else up. I think GGG is a fantastic fighter, but at this stage he should be going for big fights. He is in his prime and has maybe 3 or 4 years to really hammer some names on the resume. He reminds me a little of Calzaghe in the sense that he wants to stay in a division, but he isn't being challenged enough. I don't see how Rubio will last 4 rounds TBH. It's tough for Golovkin. MW had a lot of good fighters a few years ago, but the division has weakened. I just think he has to call out names and maybe get them up or go down a little to get them.

    It's not always ideal to step up or down in weight, although I appreciate that's how legends are made. GGG is a MW in a MW's body. He isn't very big or tall , so SMW Is out of the question. And he would have to drain himself to lose half a stone. I think eventually he will step up to SMW, Although the body clock is ticking, but he wants to wipe out his natural division first and achieve what he needs to. His problem is there are no takers. Who knows, if Canelo comes up, beats Cotto, there's a perfect fight for him.
