If Golovkin is aiming for a December 2012 fight on HBO he will have a hard time making it as all the headlines are filled up.
The options available are another network or an undercard fight

Sturm on German TV would be ideal, but is Sturm up for it? Not unless it is his last fight anyway.
Golovkin would travel to Britain and take on Murray. Murray can not fight in the US due to visa issues. This fight could be good and it could be made.
Golovkin could also take on Macklin, but Macklin is less desperate compared to Murray. If Macklin is smart he lets Golovkin bulldozer Murray before he takes a shot at Murray himself.
Pirog in Moscow is not so hot. Possibly hard fight for no real cash. My guess is that they are saving Pirog for an HBO fight later. Fighting him in Moscow on Russia2 TV makes no sense whatsoever.

The US undercard fights available are just Brian Vera or Sergio Mora. Golovkin will have no trouble here, but the fight will interest absolutely no one except his fans. Golovkin - Macklin is headline material, not undercard.
So if Golovkin's management are serious about a December 2012 fight i guess the best options are:

Likelyhood
1. Sturm in Germany 1%
2. Murray in the UK 35%
3. Macklin in the UK 1%
4. Pirog in Moscow 1%
5. Brian Vera 35%
6. Sergio Mora 20%
7. Other 7%

Of the above fights it is basically only the UK fight with Murray that could both be made and make any money.
But if Golovkin is desperat to stay on HBO it is time for Brian Vera to step up, at least he beat Sergio Mora to earn it.

Am I happy with this? No - but it is the only realistic matchups so late in 2012.

What do you guys think?

the only fights that make sense are ones in the US. HBO loves the guy so he will fight his next fight there, its the best thing he can do for his career. SO unless any of these guys are willing to go to the USA its unlikely they will happen . . . shame really . . . but money rules the day kids:deal

Totally unlogical breakdown, Golovkin is now fighting on HBO and thats where he's staying. they would not accept Vera, Mora or Murray. They would however accept Macklin and Geale All though Geale will most likely face Soliman next

HBO are looking for a date for him but nothing has been confirmed. On the Klitschko-Wach undercard in Germany has also been mentioned.
