    While agree overall to this. You can't ignore the fact that everyone wants a shot at Floyd, while very few people want to fight Golovkin.

    I am? Nah, I'm just sick of seeing Cotto duck him and hold the belt hostage.

    Against Canelo their styles would gel.

    Borenard doesnt want to see GGG break his record for most consecutive title defenses.

    Bernard Hopkins is 6'1" started boxing at light heavyweight then did a massive cut to make it to middleweight. Golovkin 5'10" is a natural middleweight.

    Still doesn't change the fact that GGG is not the middleweight champion. Bernard won the real title and defended it a number of times

    You're full of shyt. Typical Mayweather hater. Every Mayweather opponent is a cherry pick, but they all of a sudden become respected opponent when they're matched against a fighter you like.

    Yeah but GGG is gonna surpass him right what belts does hold and in order for him to surpass Hopkins he will have to unify because he did make a good amount of those defense as the unified champ :good
