    As you all know I'm a huge GGG fan. I just don't see him retiring with a perfect record. Who do you think will take his 0?

    Can't see anyone at 160 beating him and to be honest I'd favour him over 168 as well.

    Golovkin has some good possible fights ahead of him at 160; Jacobs, Canelo, BJS, Derevyanchenko, Sulecki, Khrytov, CEJ, Murata, Korobov and Quigley.

    At 168 he has Degale, Jack.

    160 is seriously underrated and will come alive in the next 12 months.

    I could only see guys at 175 beating him but GGG isn't a big built guy so there's no reason why he'd need to go there.

    They could bring prime Monzon, Hagler, Greb etc back in a time machine to do the job?

    Otherwise, Canelo pops GGG's cherry, when they fight in 2027

    @160 Jacobs , Derevyanchenko and Canelo could give Golovkin some problems. The rest is either untested and doesn't deserve the fight yet (Sulecki, Korobov) or chancless (CEJ, Murata, Quigley, Khrytov, BJS)

    I don't think Jack has a big chance @168 either.

    Agree, I'm not saying they beat him or test him right now but in the next 12 to 18 months some should be ready.

    Also we have the guys at 154 who may or may not move up.

    Nobody in 2017. But Triple G is no youngster someone may do the trick earlier than we expect. Expecting a very big year from Triple G because I believe he defeats Jacobs and I am hopeful he fights Canelo in September.

    yeah the top 20 @160 definitely should be active and fight each other during this year.

    Hope Canelo, Lara, Andrade and the Charlo's all moving up to 160 but same problem here

    Canelo prefers marinating, Lara is boring the fight with Foreman won't change that and Anrade and Jermell Charlo only fought once in 2016,

    GGG beats jacob, Canelo and then moves up to to 168 and wins a belt there, he should retire and that would be a solid legacy.

    I am glad I can go on record saying, if they ever fight, Degale schools GGG badly. Very badly too.

    He wont retire undefeated. He ll start losing in the next 2-3 years when he'll finally go up.
    Dont know who'll beat him exactly but he'll find his Buster Douglas

    There will be moments where Degale will put a pasting on GGG. Golovkin will get tagged like he's never been before. But Degale does slow down and this is where GGG will crack that body again and again. SD GGG
