    What do you guys reckon imo and in no particular order

    Cotto
    Canelo
    Mayweather
    Andrade
    Charlo bros
    Lemieux
    Quillin
    Lee
    Lara
    Bradley
    Jacobs
    Bjs
    Eubank jr
    Ward
    Froch
    Basically any decent top 10 super middle or heavier.
    Khytrov, heiland or korobov would be decent as well
    If he fights someone off this list ill be pretty disappointed

    No Sam Solimans or Sergio Mora's please

    K2 is meeting with GBP this week to discuss Lemieux. With Froch going mum, Lemieux is probably the best realistic fight to make.

    Lee is fighting Billy Joe in September
    Canelo and Cotto are fighting each other
    Bradley is bluffing
    Froch is bluffing too
    Ward is definitely not happening- at least not now
    Lara is possible but unworthy

    Overall, I see Lemieux as most likely.

    Golovkin was supposed to get a fight with Cotto for the 160 lb. title, but Cotto refused to fight him and is paying Golovkin step aside money to fight Alvarez because Cotto knows he would get knocked out.........................Golovkin would fight Void at 154, but Void will not come near him.....................don't know how Golovkin could make 154, but he said he would......................Quillin, Lee, etc.,

    You can't fight bums your whole life though I basically gave 50 options and there are plenty of them that are keen so no excuses to not fight one of them.

    It takes two to fight. It's one thing to say, "Yeah, I'd fight him." It's another to sign your name on that dotted line. Gennady isn't having a problem with guys SAYING they'll fight him (heck, Cotto is doing that), the problem starts when Gennady returns the call. Then they get quiet.

    Anybody on that list except Bradley. That guy needs to be protected from himself. Maybe even Spike O'Sullivan in Britain.

    Really he should just fight Lara.

    Quillin should step up to the plate.

    I would like it to be Sam actually. He is a solid throwback fighter and really deserves his last payday. Plus he is a good name to have on a record. We all know this isn't a "do or die" right for Genady, its just to keep him sharp until Cott-Canelo is done and over with.

    I'm a big Ggg fan but damn fighting Soliman would be huge ammo for the haters out there. Ggg isn't a prospect he shouldn't be fighting a guy who would most likely be ranked outside the too 15, who is over 40 and coming off a major injury. It really would be a disgrace.

    I hope im wrong but I reckon we will see someone at Willie Monroe level or lower. Probably Tureano Johnson who is really pretty low tier really

    Ive taken out a few names that I don't think he should be fighting.
    The rest seem respectable

    Lara unworthy but Monroe, Proska, Stevens, Ishida, and Adama were worthy?

    This is it. That's why Gennady needs the last strap for his collection.
