Jorge Heiland in November (soft touch) Saunders in Feb/March (unification) Jacobs in June (big fight) Canelo in Sept 2017 (tremendous fight) Assuming he fights these guys in this order, after Canelo, there would be no one left and nothing else to prove. GGG could easily make up to 20 million with all these fights, more than enough to retire. After Canelo, he should KO the likes of Tureano Johnson and other mandatory contenders. His final fight should be against Quivering Quillin, KO him in 3. Retire undefeated and enter as First Ballot HOF.
Heiland is too unknown he brings nothing for Golovkin it should be either unification with Saunders in europe/UK or mandatory with Jacobs in the US Canelo won't fight him anyway
I'd love nothing more than to see GGG vs Jacobs in the fall. However, his manager already said they want the fight in 2017. Saunders has a fight in late October so the only real opponent left for GGG is Heiland. Heiland is the number 1 contender and he has paid his dues. Thats how it goes when you have all the belts.
I actually think Saunders and Jacobs (and maybe even Heiland) are more challenging propositions than Canelo but yes that would be the logical progression from a business standpoint.
http://wbcboxing.com/wbceng/ratings?layout=edit&id=145 WBC middleweight rankings. Contenders: WBC SILVER CHAMPION::VACANT WBC INT. CHAMPION:VACANT 1 .- Jorge Sebastian Heiland (Argentina) 2 .- Chris Eubank Jr. (GB) BBB C 3 .- Ievgen Khytrov (Ukraine) NABF 4 .- David Lemieux (Canada) 5 .- Ryota Murata (Japan) 6 .- Avtandil Khurtsidze (Ukraine) 7 .- Curtis Stevens (US) AMERICA 8 .- Sergey Derevyanchenkov (Russia) 9 .- Andy Lee (Ireland) 10 .- Peter Quillin (US) Looks like Heiland vs Eubank Jr could be ordered for an eliminator. The winner (Eubank) vs GGG I like it
Im not a casual and I don't know who Jorge Heiland is These are the fights both fighters should have: GGG: Saunders (unification) Eubank Jr (big fight) Jacobs (big US fight) then Canelo Canelo: Rosado/Monroe winner Kell Brook Lemiuex then GGG That would be my christmas....
The question is, how many of the above names will fight him? Saunders would be a good fight and give GGG all the bests, limiting those at 160 ducking him and fighting Saunders instead.
It terms of what would probably be the toughest fight. Ranked from least to most Canelo, Jacobs, Heiland and then Saunders. So what you view as the soft touches, I view as the most stylistically problematic. I think the order should be flipped.
