    Okay, a lot of you are calling him a triple duck, fighting cans, etc. So, you tell me...who should he fight next? I'll take off the ones who aren't possible.

    Andre Ward- at 168, not a draw, and GGG won't go all the way up when he is potentially fighting Canelo or Cotto early spring.

    David Lemieux- His promotion has said he won't fight Golovkin till later next year.

    Lee and Saunders- fighting each other

    Canelo and Cotto- fighting each other

    Erislandy Lara- with Al Haymon, so he isn't allowed to fight on HBO (which Golovkin is on).


    I mean honestly, guys. You're saying he is ducking, so please tell me who he should fight. Who is the best available opponent for him?

    Anyone who actually is a respectable opponent would be great thanks.

    Well, Eubank did say he could beat Golovkin. How likely do you think this is?

    He has a pick of about 20 fighters. If he really wants them his team should be able to get them seeing as he is "a" side and the apple of HBO's eye.

    Here is the current Middleweight rankings by ESPN

    1) Miguel Cotto (nope, fighting Canelo)
    2) Gennady Golovkin
    3) Peter Quillin (with Haymon, not possible)
    4) Andy Lee (fighting Saunders)
    5) David Lemieux (already refused)
    6) BJS (fighting Lee)
    7) Hasaan N'Dam, I see this as possible.
    8 ) Daniel Jacobs (fighting Mora)
    9) Geale (already knocked out)
    10) Chris Eubank Jr (possible?)

    So, out of the three that are possible... we have
    1) N'Dam
    2) Chris Eubank Jr

    How do you GGG haters feel about those?

    Heiland
    Lee
    Chudinov
    Derevyanchenko
    Quigley
    Andrade
    O' Sullivan

    Ward isn't realistic. Who's the next best available opponent from that list.

    Personally I'd like to see how many times N'Dam can pop back up like a Jack In The Box against GGG as well.:lol:
