    It was anyone from 154-168 for a big money fight. Which is what Froch, Floyd and Chavez would have been. But with the focus of unifing 160. If he moved up or down, it was only going to be temporary for a special fight, and back to 160. I feel they have been consistent the whole time, and have been repeating themselves for three years now.

    He will never campaign at 168. He is 33 and grown into his body already. He wants his his legacy to be one of the best middleweights.

    Great!

    So Golovkin should sign to fight Chris Eubank Jr. (who has a WBA belt).

    And he should sign to fight the winner of Andy Lee-Billy Joe Saunders (WBO belt).

    And Golovkin should tell the WBA he's ready to defend against his mandatory Danny Jacobs.

    And, when those fights are over, Cotto-Alvarez should be finished with their series (they'll fight more than once). And Lemieux's people should be ready to unify.

    No more BOXCINO winners, please. Just focus on the WBA champs (there are several) and the WBO winner first.

    If k2 could find a way out of GGGs exclusive HBO contract, he could easily make the Lara, Jacobs, and Quillin fights.

    They'd have to concede some $$$$, but Al has been fair in general when taking options on fighters.

    I don't think k2 should be afraid of GGG leaving them, ESPECIALLY since the absolute best fights would be vs ROC or GBP fighters on HBO PPV.

    But Al Haymon could make some seriously high ratings for his PBC by getting K2 on board for 3/5 fights over 2 yrs.

    They could actually help put the PBC back in black.

    I'd also like to add that GBP would likely allow a GGG vs Lemieux fight this October if GGG would drop his WBC title and walk away from the 10% step aside amount that K2 has demanded to give their blessing on the Canelo Cotto fight.
    That's likely to cost 3 Million between ROC AND GBP

    that probably means unifying the lot, beating B-Hop's 20 successive defenses. Making history, breaking records and some will hate him for it.

    I don't think Boxcino winners should be rated a lot lower then all the BS WBA title-holders.
