    i doubt Njikam or Quillin will fight him, Martinez will want the easier Geale and Geale is more likely to drop the WBA Super belt so he can fight Martinez instead of Golovkin (WBA ordered Geale-Golovkin to unify the WBA belts next). If that happens then making Pirog-Golovkin again is the best option.

    I agree JG. I think Ward is the current favorite against him (rightfully so) but I think he beats everyone else or if not at least comes close. Supposedly GGG worked Quillen in sparring but I actually think in a pro fight Quillen could pose some problems for him as well as HNN.

    If he could actually get down to 154 and not be drained I think he is too much for anyone there, just too big. If Dawson actually went down to 168 and wasn't drained I would also consider him a big favorite over GGG. But outside of that, I think he works them all.

    folks getting carried away here.. I see him being very effective at 160 and maybe 154 if he can get down to the weight. However, at 168 he would get beat by both ward and froch..

    Ward would tie him up and basically box and nullify whereas froch would beat him at his own game.. Yes i think froch would stop him as he seems quite easy to find...

    Who are you? You do realize Martinez is just looking for the big money fights after a career of being under rated. He is 38.

    Golovkin could end up just like Sergio, loved by fans but no defining money fight until late 30's as well.
    Golovkin got nothing to lose, of course he can call out everyone.
    Broner called out Pacquaio as well, :lol::lol:.

    James Toney in 2000 called out Lennox Lewis. Calling out don't mean **** until it's DONE. Let's see Golovkin go fight Carl Froch. He impressed me, but you coming in here with your 'GOLOVKIN stands a REAL CHANCE against Ward and ONE SHOT FROM TRIPLE G CAN END IT FOR WARD' is way crossing the line and really make a mockery of your 20 million posts.

    Maybe you should watch Non Eastern European fighters without a bias hatred for once and realize that overall the rest of the world is still a tier above your Red Village Armies.

    Golovkin would probably go to 168 at the end of his career, 5-6 years from now if he ever goes there. Bute, Froch, Kessler would be retired by then.

    I would favor him over everyone at 160, and I think he would match up wonderfully against Sergio, whom I think extremely highly of.

    He would have trouble, however, with a few guys at 168, IMHO.

    I'm from the U.S. FT, 'n think the world of Ward, but also believe triple G would be his Kryptonite.

    Completely agree.. I really rate sergio's skills but think Golo as all wrong for him, especially at this late stage in his career. I do question sergios toughness and golo I believe would exploit this.

    I just can't see him with the elite at 168 at present. Ward schools him and I think froch is all wrong too. A small SM like Abraham would be a great fight for Golo. Abraham too is tough and can bang, could be a great fight if it were ever made.
