Seriously, besides Ward, who does GGG have to fight?

    Since "GGG has not fought anyone" and "GGG only fights bums"

    who does he need to fight in order not to be considered a can crusher?

    Any one of the Cotto/Canelo winner, Jacobs/Quillin winner, Lee/BJS winner would be a decent opponent.

    Golovkin doesn't have to fight Ward.

    It'd be a lot cooler if he did.

    Really? Cotto and Canelo aren't options. Neither is anyone signed to Haymon. So who's left?

    Ward needs to fight a credible opponent and see how many people will see him on HBO/showtime and how many people he can pack in a stadium without papering the seats.he only drew 300k on bet and papered his live gate with free tickets so he had a lot of work to do...

    MW division deserves undisputed champion. Unifying MW division is well-known aim for GGG and I for one, want to see how it goes (Lemieux, Lee, Canelo/Cotto).

    It´s a bonus if he gets close to Hopkins record (Heiland, Korobov, Jacobs, Quillin, Lara). Btw. Division is better than in years - seven years ago we had Strurm, Pavlik, Taylor and Abraham and no one else.

    There really is nothing wrong with him trying to unify the the division(I think he loses to Canelo), people bring up Ward for three reasons really.

    1. It's only like 3/4 proven quality elite fighters between 154-68(IMO Canelo,Cotto,Ward) its about 5-8 guys just below the rest are trying to make a name now.

    2.his called out that he'd fight anyone between said divisions and the myth noone will fight him.

    3.his fans touting him as this Great with little work put in to make such claims when his resume is in the lowest teir of his "top" contemporaries.

    Real talk if it wasn't for his overratedness and his team's big boy talk noone would give him **** for unifying, because of the hype and talk people are gonna want you to prove it.

    At the end of the day even though all this stuff from GGGs camp was just talk, it worked he's hyped to hell without doing anything really relevant props to his promoter they did a hell of a job.

    And once he fights them, GGG will still be considered a bum beater. No way to make the haters happy unless he moves up in weight.

    Why is Qullin and Jacobs always brought up when it comes to MW's best? They are with Haymon and will never fight any real threats unless the opposition signs with Haymon.
