Seriously, besides Ward, who does GGG have to fight?

    I agree, but he beats Canelo.

    Lemieux is a proven fighter after beating N'Dam. Lee is a proven fighter after KtFO Matvey Korobov and drawing with Quillin. Saunders/Lee winner will be a very proven fighter. The Quillin/Jacobs winner will be a proven fighter; although, Quillin is already a proven fighter: N'Dam, Rosado, Guerrero, and draw with Lee. People act as if middleweight is as bad as 135 lbs.; it isn't.

    It's a fact that he's was being ducked for years by the entire division. Plus, Ward gave him an offer about a month ago, in his words. So Golovkin is supposed to vacate his position to fight Canelo or Cotto in a big money fight to possibly fight Ward? Ward last fought at 172 lbs. No one knows if he can still make weight. It's such a stupid thought as of now.

    They're looking at his body of work, not his resume. It's the same as people touting Mayweather in fantasy fights when Mayweather hasn't ever fought another prime ATG.

    No, real talk. The minute he challenged Mayweather was when he brought a storm of Joy-Boy fans' anger.

    If he's all hype, who at middleweight can beat Golovkin right now? And seriously, you guys are grasping at straws talking about Canelo or Lara. They have no chance.

    It's fairly straightforward:

    IBF - David Lemieux
    WBO - Andy Lee
    WBC - Cotto/Canelo or be promoted to full champ.

    From there, anyone who wants a MW belt has to go through Golovkin.

    Of all the names on your list only Andy Lee is a reasonable and credible opponent - and he may not even win his next fight. The rest of the lot above are straight out of a TOMATO CAN.

    Face the FACTS, GolovIdiots. Bumlovkin has NOWHERE to go other than to go see Ward @ 168...

    How about go see Abraham @ 168? Or go see DeGale?

    If Bumlovkin fights the same caliber of fighter @ 168 that he's been fighting @ 160 then it's a CLEAR duck.

    :good


    I already asked in another thread for people to say exactly who GGG should have fought and when for them to have given him credit and all I got in response were crickets...Even in here, people are talking about Quillin and Jacobs who have openly stated they are not looking at GGG, Quillin in particular has openly avoided him since he came to America.

    Someone rattled off a bunch of MW names (Johnson, BJS, N'Dam etc), but I guarantee had he fought those guys over Maklin, Murray etc, he would still get the exact same criticism.

    GGG hasn't been tested too tough at this point and to consider him a Top 10 ATG MW at this time is absurd, but to place all the blame with him and criticize him as a result of who he has faced in comparison to who he could have faced is disingenuous.

    He should DOMINATE his division like a lion same way Hagler and Bhop did.

    honestly Golovkin runs through everyone at MW. Korobov would probably give him a different look and Heiland a couple moments of pause but he's head a tails above them. And I am not a fan of Golovkin at all.

    Jacobs/Quillin winner, BJS/Lee winner, Cotto/Canelo winner to say the least

    Canelo-Cotto winner, Canelo-Cotto loser, Canelo-Cotto drawee, fighters who are neither Canelo nor Cotto.

    There's plenty of options

    GOLOVKIN has to beat BILLY JO SAUNDERS to prove he's world class? He'd kill Billy.

    What people DO NO GET is that at MW NOBODY wants to fight him.

    Duck Chocolate? :lol::lol:

    Jacobs? Same.

    Lee? He said he'd do it.

    Cotto? :lol::lol:

    Canelo? He would. And he should have moved up years ago.

    NOBODY wants to face GGG.

    its just ward...thats it...thats the beauty of it....ggg only has to get his rump beat once and then he can go back to crushing cans......then he can go back to beating up b- level fighters, calling out smaller fighters or calling out guys near retirement

    but he wont do that...because he knows that loss crushes his aura....it ruins his brand...once he looks human the run is over

    Canelo/Cotto even Lara would be a good opponent. At SMW, DeGale, Jack would be decent opponents.
