I think that's a big reason why they won't move GGG up, he's a small to medium 160lber, he'd look more like this at 175lbs, just coming forward and having the better technique, landing more punches, but not having quite as devastating an impact as at his prime ideal weight.
GGG moving up is hard because he relies on his power and his chin, both of which might not translate to a new weightclass.
I think the Thai fighter is up one round going into 12.
