    So GGG vs Helinus is in December now? Good, Jorge has been waiting on his shot since before the Cotto vs Martinez fight.

    Yeah well that would be in keeping with Jacobs asking for another fight wouldn't it?

    GGG makes em all look like clowns when they win and call out GGG,just recently we've had Canelo,Jacobs,Eubank and Saunders all talking about wanting Golovkin but talk is cheap in Boxing it actions that count,let's say Shockmaster is right about double standards re GGG,it still doesn't justify all those I mentioned above ducking him does it?

    Jacobs stating that he wants an interim fight at this stage is embarrassing. It paints a really bad picture for him.

    He is not a spring chicken either and 160 is void of any fighter that we have not seen GGG bulldoze through. Who can Jacob's fight? The bottom 20? Maybe Andy Lee.

    Christ, I am really starting to get tired of Golovkin and K2. As much as I love Golovkin's style and ability in the ring, my patience is running out with the opponents he's fighting. One can only see so many mismatches before they get tired and bored of it. I am really starting to get bored of him fighting easy fights. I don't care who's ducking him or not anymore. Or what the money splits are. I just want to see him fight a competitive fight. If that means moving up, then move the **** up. I may stop following Golovkin's fights altogether unless he gets an equally matched opponent SOON.

    Khurtsidze would be the best option for December 10th. Would be an all action train wreck with GGG winning early and brutally. Cowards like Cucknelo, Gaycobs and Colonel "chicken" Sanders are just playing the waiting game, waiting for GGG to show age and/or give them every last dime he has made from this sport that treats his kind like third class economic citizens.

    I understand that all other contenders are ducking GGG, but Team GGG needs to start landing fights, period. Twice a year aint gonna cut it. All these guys should be fighting MINIMUM 3 times per year, and 4 times for those not holding or challenging for belts. The hell with pushing off a December fight! Get Heiland or any other #1 or #2 guy in there with you! Sucks being a boxing fan.

    Khurtsidze is a bulldozer and that is a fight I would like to see as well, so it makes me think it is unlikely to happen

    Bring on Avtandil !!!
    I wanna see a warrior pound on GGG's body.
    I hope WBC wont push the Heiland fight. Korobov ? No thanks.
    Avtandil is experieced and is a warrior. The casuals wont care, they just want to see destruction.

    I dont think Jacobs wants the fight. Only when you put a mic in front of him. Can he fight with a mic in his gloves ?!

    Korobov would still be a decent challenge, but I think he needs to get a decent win and show a bit of confidence to give him any chance.
