    GGG is in a lose-lose situation. Sergiy's got a sexy KO ratio, but his best names are Sam Soliman and Tureano Johnson (a guy people were fuming about when GGG was rumored to fight him). If GGG fought SD instead of signing on for the Canelo rematch, people would have said that he was ducking Canelo. Not a fan of Spike, but at least he's got Eubank and Saunders on his resume.

    He'd be ducking no one cos it's a mandatory.

    I don't think so considering Derevynchenko is his IBF mandatory and Saunders is recovering from an injury.

    Wade was Golo's mando (because Johnson was injured, if I recall correctly) and yet the haters were screaming cherrypick and duck (Ward, Gilberto Ramirez).

    Ive gotta give Golovkin a pass on this one, with all the mess and all the fall out of what was meant to be i just want Golovkin to get this fight out of the way no matter who it is against and then see who wants to face him and who is free to face him late summer. Canelo should be available by then if GGG still wants that money.

    Charlo, Saunders or his mando all sound good.

    If he doesn't fight him now and the IBF don't enforce the mandatory, they surely will next.

    We all know GGG won't fight Saunders before Canelo and since Canelo don't have a belt GGG must be stripped end of.

    Fight him now or lose that belt.

    Fighting Spike would be a joke don't you think? There is no good reason to fight him?

    Only haters! Since real boxing fans understand how haters work, we need not pay them any mind. They will bad mouth good fighters regardless of who they fight or what they do. G is doing what he's supposed to do.

    Right now Dervyenchenko is the best available fight. Do you disagree?

    Eubanks and Saunders. Though losses, that gives his resume more depth than Sergiy's. I'm not a fan of the Spike fight, but people are hating because it's Golovkin (like you are).
