    I thought Murray's, Barker's and Martinez's people all said no way they were fighting GGG. And Quillen said it for himself. And Geale said he wants a rematch with Barker.

    Someone said Chavez Jr. wants him. That would be a great fight.

    Murray
    Chavez Jr

    those are the two id most be interested in seeing G fight at this point. Almost entirely down to seeing if his power would be enough to keep either one from seeing the final bell, and because those two are big guys, and known quantities.

    Would be a nice test to see where G's power is truly at.

    I agree with Murray in Monaco, then Chavez in early spring and Martinez in the fall. If Murray says no again, could be Pirog or Geale?

    Interesting interview by Sanchez stating they told HBO they would accept a Korobov fight at LHW. He's already said a fight with Ward and Froch would be at 168 and not a catch weight.

    Re: Soliman wants Geale! - clash of the Aussie titans!
    He should fight Soliman to keep his IBF belt, it's his bargaining chip.
    Lets say GGG get injured in one of his many stay busy fights against welterweights and can't fight for 12months, then what is Geale going to do then without a belt?? He is only a big name in Australia he can't command as much money anywhere else...

    :lol:

    Do you think Golovkin would avoid Martin Murray for 2 years?

    Golovkin will fight anyone, but it's getting those fighters to fight him that is the problem..........

    The search function still works here your flip flopping is easily remembered by typing a few words in the search box. The 2nd one wasn't that long ago either.:lol:

    Someone said, above, that Golovkin only fights dudes with a dozen losses?! And this coming from a Wilder worshipper?! LOL! Tell us another joke!!!

    Golovkin had 350 amateur fights, only lost five!!!

    That's the problem though ain't it? At 160 who's he supposed to fight? If he can get Murray that'd be something at least, but even Maravilla, unless he's been off on a quest to find the fountain of youth, stands little chance IMO.

    There really isn't anyone left who's massively better than Mack, I'm afraid. Who would you have him fight?

    Hmm. Korobovs name has been mentioned as a possible 160 opponent, and I've not heard Sanchez suggest Kovalev at 175 (although he reckons GGG put him off his game in sparring). Perhaps he's got the 2 mixed up?
