It isn't GGG's fault that MW is so weak, but it reminds me a bit of Calzaghe at SMW or Hopkins at MW. Hopkins eventually just got too weak and old to go 12 at MW and Calzaghe had to move up to find some names. GGG is in a similar boat. Either he stays and dominates at MW for the next 5 years or else he finds a smaller man to fill up and meet him or he moves up himself. I can understand the desire for him to go up and beat Ward, but if GGG is really comfortable at MW, then why not just reign supreme there? It's a bit frustrating as a fan to have him fight relatively easy fights like this one, but it seems to be the best MW has at the moment. It happens in boxing. Divisions have their lulls and then 4 or 5 new guys start to make something happen. They duke it out and the lull starts again. A division is cyclical somewhat akin to the earths orbit around the star at the center of this particular solar system within the confines of a galaxy hurtling deep into the computer screen of a nerd who isn't even paying any attention. MW will bounce back and GGG will either be at SMW or a little bit older and more beatable.
