    Golovkin must fight with someone in May or June

    Obviously Canelo and Jacobs are not available. Hearn made it clear that Andrade is going to fight against someone else. Charlo is a PBC fighter that fight can’t be made. Deveryachenko is not really a big name and kind of threat. BJS is still messing around, Murata and Brant are ESPN fighters Bob won’t do business with DAZN.

    The only available opponent from top 5-8 is Lemieux. He is not a DAZN fighter but belongs to Oscar so I can imagine that fight is going to be made.

    Or Callum Smith at 168 but Abel said that he wants Golovkin to stay at 160.

    I think this time he would struggle with Lemieux and that would show us that he is not the same fighter anymore

    Lemieux is more likely. GGG would never fight Callum Smith I bet my house on that

    Lemieux better shave his head this time lol. It was irritating watching his hair get in his face the whole fight.

    They would have to pay Lemieux well I doubt he would want to relive the beating he got last time.

    He said few times that he wants the rematch. This time the fight would be much different I think.

    So does anyone agree with this terrible rematch if its made?

    Will we finally get that Hagler vs Hearns brawl we were promised before that PPV flop they put on?

    no real need for such a match, 3G minced him first time, same would happen. I would prefer many others. Why not fight that Derev for a warm-up, the one he had to sidestep last year.

    It was the dumbest thing he could have done. Every time a punch connected his hair was flopping around and was even more eye catching to the judges and the fans.

    Beyond dumb dumb dumb.

    These are the ABC orgs top10 contenders.
    Golovkin obviously #1 except with the IBF for some reason.

    WBC
    1. Gennady Golovkin
    2. Kamil Szeremeta

    3. Hassan N'dam
    4. Ryota Murata
    5. Jason Quigley
    7. Sergey Derevyanchenko
    8. Yamaguchi Falcao
    9. Esquivia Falcao
    10. Steven Butler

    WBA
    1. Gennady Golovkin
    2. Kamil Szeremeta

    3. Brandon Adams
    4. Magomed Madiev
    5. Esquivia Falcao
    6. Ryota Murata
    7. David Papot
    8. Maciej Sulecki
    9. Jason Quigley
    10. Dormedes Potes

    IBF
    1. NOT RATED
    2. Jack Culcay
    3. Sergiy Derevyanchenko
    4. Kamil Szeremeta
    5. David Lemieux

    6. Ryota Murata
    7. Patrick Wojcicki
    8. Esquiva Falcao
    9. Steve Rolls
    10. Gerome Quigley
    11. Gennady Golovkin ?

    WBO
    1. Gennady Golovkin
    2. David Lemieux

    3. Jack Culcay
    4. Steven Butler
    5. Maciej Sulecki
    6. Alantez Fox
    7. Brandon Adams
    8. Jeff Horn
    9. Patrice Volny
    10. Liam Williams

    Check on the guy that was mentioned to fight, and then check on Lemmy.
    Szeremeta #2 WBC and WBA, #4 IBF, unranked with the WBO.
    Lemieux #5 IBF, #2 WBO and unranked with the WBC and WBA.

    Really doesn't sound logical for Golovkin's position to rematch Lemieux at this stage, who's also extremely likely to move up to 168.

    why would anyone even think of making this rematch? it makes no sense and cents at all. GGG utterly destroyed Lemmy, that was his best performance.
