    Yeah, wouldnt we all.
    Problem being that Sturm, Geale, Martinez, and Quillin don't agree with us:-(

    Regardless of whether he beats Chavez, GGG-Murray is already being lined up. (Golden Glove Promo of SA signed Murray to a 7 figure contract specifically for making this fight in Europe)

    So he has one more at 160 regardless of whether he wins and/or gets Cotto/Sergio winner.

    The plan from what I hear has been to make a push to get lineal shot in 2014, then regardless of whether they get that or not move to 168 full time in 2015. So GGG has 1-3 fights left at 160, depending on who they can get in the ring. After that its 168.

    Golovkin really wants to be lineal champ before he moves up if possible. He wants that achievement. But Abel Sanchez has been saying for almost a year that its 168 in early 2015 regardless of whether they get lineal or not.
