    These two are now open to face ggg. I feel he should go after the wbo title of Saunders next as that is the last piece of the puzzle. At the same time ggg must negotiate with the WBA for allowing a unification match before a manditory with jacobs. If WBA is going to strip ggg for not fighting his manditory then jacobs first and saunders second. Both are excellent matchups so that's good news for all!

    If he wants to look great and score a highlight reel KO, Jacobs. If he wants to look average and possibly struggle with a slick elusive fighter go with BJS.

    BJS so he'll get it over with. Finish the hunt GGG
    Then give Jacobs a chance to feel your power

    Take on Saunders to unify the division, than get Jacobs out of the way for his WBA mandatory.

    I'm more interested to see what he does after those 2 matches. The MW division doesn't really have any top tier fighters there except for Gennady. It's actually kind of sad that one of the most historic divisions in the sports' history is devoid of elite talent.

    I'd like to see him unify and maybe now that the Brook fight has happened in the UK, than the Saunders fight might be a bigger fight than the Jacobs fight. But if I HAD to choose which fight I'd rather see next I gotta go with Golovkin-Jacobs. I think its a more competitive bout. I think they will both end in knockouts but I think the Saunders fight is a guaranteed KO for Golovkin.

    Saunders.

    I think Jacobs would be the more challenging/exciting fight, but Golovkin clearly wants desperately to unify, and this might be his best chance.

    If he doesn't unify now, he might have to make bigger sacrifices later to try to get the belt.

    If he unifies now he'll be free to do a lot of other exciting fights.

    It will also mean anyone interested in doing well in MW is forced to face him, rather than going after easier prey like Saunders (looking at you, Canelo).

    He should go after BJS. His goal is to win all 4 belts, so that's what he should do. And with BJS open call out the other day, this fight should be a piece of cake to make.

    Saunders for the undisputed championship.
    Certainly because Cancelo is aiming for that belt for another hostage situation.

    Jacobs can come after. But if it has to happen first, so be it.

    Jacobs.

    Purely as a big "**** you!" to Saunders, that until two days ago was releasing interviews admitting he wanted none of Golovkin, and now suddenly has changed idea. Why, you wonder? Right after WBA announced Jacobs as GGG's mando, here's why.

    So there you have it, Saunders still wants NONE of him.
