    Best route for GGG to pursue is follwing in Wlads footstep ie collecting all the belts.

    Taylor will be beat by Jacobs, who is also the WBA interim, so he might coax Jacobs into the ring, as a slickster who might have a chance, or GGG could easily collect the WBO belt vs Korobov, who brings little to Arum in the way of promotion, and would easily be sacrificed to GGG for a decent purse split.:thumbsup

    If GGG is holding the WBC interim, he could force Cotto to vacate, then fight Lemiuex for the regular WBC belt, then go for full unification vs Korobov and Jacobs.

    An undisputed MWCotW would lure Canelo, $$$$$ wise into taking his KO1 loss.:deal

    The only one available on that list for February will be Murray.

    Best route for GGG is to move up to SMW.

    The current MW scene is abysmal and he isn't going to get a Cotto fight. There is nothing for him there.

    Move up and down fighting the best like Floyd does. Or is he just happy to feast on bums. Thats the way it seems.

    His last Monte Carlo fight lasted longer than his two US fights put together.

    :lol:

    Golovkin will meet Floyd at 154 since he supposedly likes fighting the best so much :lol:

    Yes, a Korobov-Golovkin fight could easily be made in 2015.

    I don't want to see Taylor get pummeled . He had enough beatings in his career already .

    So just Let him enjoy his title as long as he can until someone takes it away from him .

    Cotto is never going to fight GGG , He knows his limits .

    We don't even know if Ward is still a boxer or not .

    So I vote Chavez @ 168 .

    This Mexican right here is not going down in just 2 rnds and will bring a war to Golovkin .

    Seems Korobov the other avoided fighter. GGG-Korobov for the best 160lber bragging rights. Cotto should of stayed at 154.

    Next? Well with cotto-alvarez likely in may he should fight quinlin. However that's not happening either, and I don't see ggg moving up until he fights someone good @ 160 first ...so....
    Mayweather would be nice, but Floyd won't fight him either.
    I guess that leaves Chavez Jr. Then again he probably is standing in his underwear eating Cheerios for breakfast at 6pm.

    I think he may move back to 154 instead of fighting Golovkin.

    What are you on about with that statement.

    Wladimir would fight Stiverne or WHOEVER?

    He's never ducked ANYONE.

    Are you insinuating that Wlad is ducking someone.

    Best I can tell, he's scheduled to fight Pulev next, and will look to fight the winner of DelBoy/Chisora next unless Chagaev looks to impose his mandatory status sooner rather than later. :huh

    So he can fight Ward????

    Yeah, Ward says he'll fight, but when it comes to actually getting into the ring......well.......that's a little different now isnt it.

    And why would GGG move to 168 right now, when the money fights are at CWs of 152 (Manny/Floyd) 155 (Cotto/Canelo).

    If he's gonna move to 168, it will be a PERMANENT move as he will HAVE to add muscle, which he will NOT be able to shed should a MONEY fight vs Canelo/Cotto/Floyd/Pac present itself.

    He will go to 168 when he's cleared out 152-160, but not before.

    And Ward is looking for GGG to take a smaller cut of mediocre payday. Like GGG is not gonna think about his FUTURE earning potential before making that fight. :patsch:patsch:patsch

    Lee has a serviceable chin and is a great boxer puncher with outstanding stamina.

    He's a top 10 MW himself, and is a very live dog in this upcoming vacant title bout.

    If Korobov don't work thru the middle rds, Lee will take over, and cruise to a decision.

    Korobov's gotta look to work thru the middle rds.....this aint Kid Chicken who Korobov woulda just KOd.....Lee is a much tougher fight style wise for Korobov than Quillin.:thumbsup

    My first choice would be Cotto, a second one - the winner of Quilin/Jacobs

    Murray would be a great fight whilst Cotto faces Canelo
