    Better fight (and far more risky) than Chavez Jr.

    We all know GGG isn’t fighting anyone that could pose a serious risk. If Canelo fight is postponed to sept then he will fight a soft touch

    I question Ramirez's ability to make 160 at this point. If he somehow made it he'd be seriously drained and performance would probably suffer the night of fight.

    It seems like they want GGG to move up to 168 and fight for the WBO title. If the money is right, why not? GGG has nothing to lose at this point in his career and a win over Ramirez would be a huge addition to his resume.

    This would be insane.

    Ramirez, Clenelo, Groves, Saunders. That would be an immense finish.

    I wouldn't mind seeing that then. But it's hardly a duck turning down a offer that involves moving up a weight class on short notice.

    Another 168 fighter looking for publicity.

    Oh dear , it won't be a good look for Golovkin if he fights Spiker now that he has so many good options available.

    I wouldn't mind seeing this, and it would only enhance GGG's reputation/legacy if he won.

    Can't see it happening though.

    Ramirez is an in house fight as well so unless Golovkin isn't happy with the move up there shouldn't be any issues really.

    If he isn't happy moving up then Andrade is also a top fight.

    Failing those two, post poning Canelo would also be acceptable.

    Ramirez is a cruiserweight fighting at 168 .
