    Canelo - Not very competitive, only mentioned because A) his popularity and B) he held the title. Nothing about his boxing makes him a viable option.

    Saunders - Best option because he holds the other titles and looks to be the 2nd best at 160. He'd make it interesting.

    Jacobs - 2nd best option. He doesn't box as well or as slick as Saunders but he's got some pop.

    Eubank Jr - 3rd best option. Should be interesting but I don't see Eubank pulling it off.

    Lara - Shouldn't even be considered, too easy.

    It would be interesting to see how he boxes BJS. He gets credit for all the fighters he faces. The amount of credit he gets though depends on the level of competition. I wish some posters would not make this a fanboy affair though not everyone who makes valid points as to GGGs situation is a hater. You guys also seem to have no idea what a "duck" actually is.

    GGG says he wants to fight a fighter.
    Fight does not happen.
    Fanboys: They ducked GGG who cares about circumstances....

    Fighter calls out GGG.
    Fight does not happen.
    Fanboys. Well that fighter needs to move to 160 and earn a shot. Otherwise it isn't a duck.

    Or how about this one.

    Well did he send a legitimate offer? I want proof he sent a legit offer and gave GGG all his demands because he is Aside. If GGG is not Aside he should be given 50-50.


    Seriously guys YOU invite scrutiny with your BS.

    its as if most people here don't understand fighters only fight 2-3 times a year. A fight does not happen and cannot happen every time someone makes a tweet or YouTube video.

    I agree.


    Also if the fighter is not in your division they cannot possibly duck you unless you move into position to be their mandatory in their division and they refuse to fight you and relinquish their belt. Big fights outside of respective divisions also fall apart it happens. Pay attention to circumstances not every fight can be made when 2 fighters with huge egos do not agree. It does not mean either one ducked the other.

    The truth is Saunders beats all current middleweights not named Golovkin (although even here he has a decent chance).

    I'd even favor Saunders to win against a prime Eubank Sr @ 160.

    I'd say all in the poll are good options, I'd prefer him to fight the middlweight options before Lara

    Andy Lee is the only MW that can pose real problems to GGG. He would use his height advantage and monster power to KO GGG.
