    Lol. You really are shameless. It wouldn't be a good look if Golovkin on short notice takes a massive risk in going up to 168 and challenging one of the belt holders because his fight at 160 got called off due to the original opponent failing a drug test. All paths lead back to Golovkin being the bad guy with baseless detractors such as yourself.

    I prefere to see Saunders canceling the Murray fight and step in but this is also good

    Then he should be a drained husk and easy to beat. Like Canelo vs Chavez Jr

    Yeah the May 5th date being canceled and Golovkin/Saunders on the 23rd of June would be great.

    Its only at 168 against a guy nobody rates and who can't pop a grape. Former legends took these type of fights to beat the band back in the day.

    Golovkin has has plenty of options here to prove his mantle. Lets see what moves he makes.

    Former legends were roided to the gills and allowed to shove all types of Supplements up their rear to ensure they can gain and lose weight easily. Golovkin is being drug tested MORE than any of them, he is facing an uphill battle. There is no way he can gain weight and move up a weight class, than climb back down without PED’s mitigating the damage, especially at his age.

    Don't most rate Ramirez as the number 1 SMW (until Groves wins this tourney anyways)?

    Yeah the best two by a mile are Ramirez and Andrade. Maybe a mandatory would be acceptable or a BJS fight.

    I've not heard of Charlo?

    Also Andrade isn't exactly a career defining fight is it?

    I'd like to see him fight Saunders and tell Canelo to go **** himself, but it's too much money to punish Canelo that way. Alas, Chavez makes the most sense from a risk/reward standpoint. Yuck.

    Charlo has a fight lined up. Ramirez cannot make 160. Andrade is a southpaw, Golovkin didn't prepare for a southpaw this time. But if Golovkin doesn't fight any of them he is ducking them according to the usual suspects. It is also his fault that Clenelo Alvarez tested positive and got suspended.
