    Macklin, Geale, Rubio? Easy work.

    Murray is next. And he will be lucky to see the 4th round.

    The likes of Sturm, Soliman dotn't want to know. Quillin is ducking GGG, Martinez is shot, Cotto will face Canelo, then Floyd and then retire.

    GGG is dissecting the division man by man!

    It would be shocking and insanely impressive if he stops Murray early.

    I just hope he stays in the division and fully cleans it out. If he unifies all the belts eventually he could go down as one of the great a.

    Yeah out of all those opponents I think Murray has the best chance to see the 12th round.
    He'll still lose badly but he might see the bell.

    There isn't much at middle. Cotto is a blown up welter and gets talked about as a legitimate title holder at 160. It is a weak division.
    What GGG is doing is expected. I'd like to see a Korobov fight though.

    Sturm has been ducking GGG for like 3 years. People were laughing about him back then, now it's obvious Sturm has been spot on.

    Sorry, but to me at this stage of his career, fighting fringe top 10 guys isn't good enough. Murray fight is a huge mismatch

    When people have to hype up Murry as something impressive, you know middleweight is currently weak.

    The middleweight division is weak anyway, though

    Sure is when guys like Canelo, Kirkland, and Andrade are clinging to the NO PAY ZONE of LMW, knowing they're all bigger than the current MW Champion and his lineal counterpart.

    Guess they're hoping like the rest of the GGG haters that he'll move to SMW so they can sneak a title without him seeing.:lol::lol::lol:

    GGG has no options but to fight as many top 10 fighter as he can to get the top dogs fighting him.

    Quillin´s and Cotto´s options to choose their opponents are decreasing every four month. GGG fights at least 3 times a year, 4 if possible.

    GGG has destroyed Macklin, Rubio, Stevens, Rosado, Proksa, Geale and Ouma, every one of them could be a title challenger 2015 but are not because of GGG. Quillin already turn down fight against Korobov and Cotto already beat Martinez. So what is left for them in 160?

    Jermain Taylor
    +Good name value
    -Going to prison soon
    -Is not a fighter that he used to be
    -N´Dam might be his next opponent

    N´Dam?
    - No name value
    - Quillin already fought him

    Jacobs?
    - decent name value and great story behind him
    - Good test for any champion including GGG

    Lemieux?
    + Has a name in Canada and is very exiting to watch

    Saunders?
    + best of Brits but no name value
    - Might loose to Eubanks Jr. but if he wins he fight Korobov next.
    - In any case, Quillin has no chance to fight any of the three

    Shudinov?
    + exiting to watch
    - Has no name value in US

    Murray?
    -GGG fights him early 2015.

    Lara?
    -154 fighter
    -Lost already
    -No fanbase or Name value

    Andrade?
    + Good fighter
    - Is American but has no name value at the moment


    So if GGG fights 4 times in 2015, there are not many fights left to Quillin to take if he wants to avoid GGG. He has Andrade, Jacobs, Lara and Shudinov. If he wants to make money he fights Jacobs but Jacobs might land a fight againts Taylor. Shudinov would be very risky fight with no money so I can´t see that happening. Lara is a possibility and fight could be built for Cubans but offers no money (at least no 1,3 milion payday).

    GGG will need three more opponents after Murray. If GGG takes 3 fight from top 10 (Andrade, Jacobs, Lara, Shudinov, N´Dam, Lemiux and Taylor) there are only few options left. Alvarez might be the joker but he fights Cotto next and if he looses..

    Can't see what Haymon was thinking about..

    pretty much
    Murray has no fire power what so ever with 12 knockouts...so youre right...4 rounds or less
