So GGG adds another belt to his collection. What's next for him ?

    He basically made a middleweight champion in David Lemieux to look ordinary.

    I wonder who he's gonna fight next and when.:think

    Quillin / Jacobs winner vs GGG @ MSG would sell a lot.
    Cotto/Canelo winner vs GGG would be the ideal option, of course @ 160 lbs , MSG.
    Lee / Saunders winner vs GGG also would be a good fight.

    From all these good matches I think only one has chances to happen and that's GGG vs Lee, of course if Lee beats Saunders.

    Other options @ 160 for GGG if he gets avoided by the other mw champions ?

    Bum fights. None of them have any interest.

    He should move up. There's nobody out there.

    Clearly to big and too powerful for these guys.

    It's kinda a shame, but if we don't get any of the above fights (and PQ / DJ is improbable anyways) it's probably gonna be IBF mando Tureano Johnson...

    Now Tureano's a fun and respectable fighter, but that would be an utterly pointless fight to my mind.

    If it ain't gonna be a 160 unifer - or at least a precursor to one - I'm thinking it's time for GGG to start testing the waters at 168.

    he should collect the belts, solidify his popularity, then move up to 168

    If Cotto, Quillin and Saunders win their next fights I really doubt they would fight GGG.

    Also even if Canelo wins the fight with Cotto, GBP would not let/risk him to fight Golovkin / or fight GGG but they would want to drain him to 155 lbs which is a b***h move.

    He should await Canelo/Cotto.

    Thats a huge money fight for him.

    The big question is what WBC will do since they promised to GGG that Cotto-Canelo winner will fight him next.:think

    The problem is that WBC can't enforce superstars, they'd just bin the belt and say have it, to Suleyman, if they aren't in for fighting GGG.

    I think Canelo is more prone to taking the fight, than Cotto. Cotto has too much guile to get lured into a GGG fight, he'd get destroyed, he's just too damn small.

    He should go definitely for the Canelo/Cotto winner.

    Golovkin vs Canelo on Cinco de Mayo

    Maybe he should have a fight in europe in between early next year against one of this guys Heiland, N'Dam N'Jikam/Soliman winner, Tureano Johnson, Eubank Jr.

    The winner of Cotto/Canelo is the obvious next choice, though that depends upon how that fight pans out and if the winner actually wants to fight Golovkin.

    How well this PPV did and how much money they can bring to the table may decide what happens next.

    If the winner ducks him then Andy Lee seems like the most obvious choice. He has a belt and was willing to fight Golovkin before and now that Golovkin represents a bigger payday, I see no reason why he wouldn't accept a fight. But of course he needs to win his next fight.
