    The fight to make is Froch. He keeps hinting on fighting. Well, here's old Golovkin.

    He should fight Crawford and no, I'm not joking.

    Unless it's an exhibition or something easy I don't see the point. He was already on the decline 10 years ago; can't imagine how little of him is left now.

    Froch and Martinez on the same night! They could call it "Too Old to Fold ... Methuselah Madness"

    Fight Froch

    His ego needs a check these days - always boasting about retiring with a win and revelling in the misfortune of others who have gotten KOd.

    Maybe he would finally STFU

    Has Eubank JNR found his pen yet.
    Take a steady eddie as a home coming who's just outside the top 20 on boxrec these days.
    He looked slow in his last fight, the feet were flat, still heavy handed but his time is done.

    He gonna fight at CW? He looked massively fat last time I saw him.

    He has no chance against any name opponent. Needs a journeyman and guaranteed win

    Its not a 24/7 gig, he can easily fit into his schedule a retirement fight. I imagine he is going to fight at 168 again, and there are plenty of decent, older journeymen in the division.

    Hell, he could fight Thomas LaManna for all I care.

    Anyone against him taking a fight against a journeyman in front of his hometown is literally ignoring that these type of fights have been happening for decades
