    Jacobs, Saunders & CaYellow (once he gets his act together)?

    These guys are the best he can face AND they'd boost his legacy A LOT.

    Agree?

    Can't really argue with that - maybe Canelo at 157 if that's what it takes. I kinda wouldn't mind Eubank Jr either, possibly instead of Ginger if he still doesn't want any ... but then it has to be time for Golovkin to at least try out at 168.

    Jacobs
    Saunders
    Derevyanchenko

    I have no time for Canelo. He's going to put a weight stipulation on this fight. He's already vacated, he no longer matters. I never gave him a chance to win anyways. Derevyanchenko is the most dangerous candidate at middleweight.

    Too early for Sergiy too be matched with GGG though I agree he's likely about the best prospect out there - he really needs to be matched a little tougher first.

    Saunders
    Jacobs
    Canelo if possible
    Then move up and fight Zurdo.

    That's why he should go for Saunders and Jacobs first. Jacobs in 2016 and then Saunders in 2017. Give Derevyanchenko two years, and he'll probably be ready.

    Yes, dude needs to fight better compeititon, though. Hopefully, they put him in an eliminator against Tureano Johnson.

    Jacobs, Saunders, Eubank.

    Maybe Lara if he gets a gap.

    Ramirez is building a big name for himself, he'd be interesting at 168. So would Chavez if he gave up the weed.

    Canelo, if he ever touches his ***** again and finds that he grew a pair.

    The fights that would interest me most would be Saunders, Eubank and Jacobs

    The UK is the main place for world boxing today and it would be a big challenge for Golovkin to face Saunders and Eubank especially in the UK

    I agree, I believe Saunders beats Canelo rather comfortably so it would be a very solid win.

    Jacobs is a decent win but I see another Pirog type ending.

    CanYellow, who cares, I have more respect for fighters like Audley Harrison than Canelo, at least he took his beats like a man.

    So I think Jacobs then Saunders for all the belts and then he should move up to 168?

    Also, I really, really want to see Korobov/Golovkin. Man, I wish this fight happened at some point. I think Korobov can give Golovkin lots of problems. I can't wait to see his fight with Vera.

    Lara totally wants that fight, you guys. Honest!:lol:
    He'll probably go back into hiding after this weekend though until he needs to generate interest for his next JMW fight on Showtime that no one gives a f*ck about:rofl

    1. WBO strapholder Saunders (to become undisputed champ)
    2. WBA mandatory Jacobs
    3. WBC mandatory John Doe (first WBC MW mandatory defence in ages)

    then whoever 2 guys to take the defence record. Maybe that Mexican ginger can be one of them if he can find his cojones anywhere, but around that time the IBF and/or WBO mandatories might be due too.

    Defend his IBF against TJ, defend his WBA against Jacobs and then unify against Saunders. Not the highest grossing fights but it will accomplish his goals of unifying.

    Forget Canelo and his Caneloweight.
