    UNDER 168, which excludes supermiddleweight, hmmm? Theres.... Daniel Jacobs?? Not Yet, he's too green, umm... Margarito? I don't think so... Felix Sturm? nah.... Yuri Foreman?? I don't know how good he is... SHEESH!! Maybe Pacquiao, or Shane Mosley depending how good he does in his next fight.

    I think Martinez would be to small at 168...With him keeping those hands that low fighting at 168, he asking to be KO'ed.

    Fernando will give him a run for his money but I dont see him beating Martinez at this stage of Fenando.

    Wishful thinking of April 2010.

    Unfortunately, it never happened for the Middleweight division...

    Sergio was a great champion though (much of his rightfully good legacy from dethroning Pavlik and KO'ing Williams).

    We will see how the Golovkin/Cotto/Alvarez triangle plays out in the coming year or two. But those three aside and possible fights among them, MW still not looking very good.

    I fear the Cotto/Alvarez winner will duck Golovkin and move down to 154

    Hope someone like Danny Jacobs, Lemieux or Quillin lands some big wins @160 during the next year

    GGG.

    And thats the reason he ducked GGG, see #3 below.

    Boxers that ducked/ducking GGG

    1---Felix sturm - wouldn't fight him for over 2 years when GGG was mandatory.

    2---Peter quillin - said he will only fight for the may-pac kind of money, lol + he flew to Haymon to avoid GGG

    3---Sergio martinez - "His promoter said that "no way I am putting him with this monster", GGG kept calling him out after his U.S. debut after every fight

    4---Miguel cotto - ducked his mandatory(GGG) twice by fighting Geale and Canelo

    5---Julio cesar chavez jr - Turned down 12mil offer by TR

    6---Saul alvarez - Avoided his mando(GGG). Thinks that he is fighting at the weight-class of 155, as there is no such thing as a "155 weight-class" ,he is pretending to be not in the MW division because of GGG.There are 17 divisions just pick one, if you can't make 154 then you are a MW, simple.

    7---Carl froch - After calling GGG out then when GGG accepted ,he backed down and now he is retired after making all the fuss, + GGG was calling him for more than a year b4 he was retired so no excuses for "retiring".

    8---Andrea Ward - The diva of the 168lb division don't want to travel or meet the a-side GGG in a catchweight so he can become a good boy and get ktfo. Was willing to goto 160 for Floyd but when GGG said 164, Ward ducked + he was fine when Dawson came down a whole division for him but wont move half a division for GGG, smh

    9---Billy joe Saunders - Even before winning the WBO title from Lee his fear of Golovkin was as biright as day this is just one of many interviews(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJuwAz-ekoQ), then after winning it he priced himslef out at 6 mil$. Then turned down $3.2mill offer from k-2(its 2.2 gbp so I converted)

    10---Hassaan ndam njikam -When Hassaan was WBO champ, he was ordered to a purse bid to face Golovkin no less than two times and he was a no show each time.

    11---Darren Barker - When Barker defeated Geale to become IBF champ, his promoter openly said that Barker will fight any1 except GGG

    Good and honest list :thumbsup

    But what a fight it would have been. Sergio had fast hands and power. Although, Golovkin would have been a clear favorite.
