    No he should go for Saunders in the UK or a Murata fight in Asia but he should either retire or move up in late 2019

    Is it wrong that I'd pay to see Golovkin vs. Levesque in a cage?

    edit: I mean like an octagon, an unscripted MMA fight...not some Hell in a Cell worked gimmick.

    Golovkin with takedown defense and decent wrestling would be amazing :eek:

    I hear you and that is more than likely true. What annoys me about GSP is his open criticism of PED use, especially when he first quit, when they really started testing after the Vitor TRT ordeal. (the real reason he quit)

    My point is if you have to use, fine go ahead and use but keep your mouth shut about it like everyone else.

    Now that the division is finally looking better than the desolate state he reigned over?! Ya don't say...

    "all of the belts" and all that talk, right? I don't see him walking away, win or lose.

    He won’t stop till he has a rough go and barely gets away with a win.

    Don’t even quote me, you haters, and mention DJ. Close fight, many had him winning.

    GGG is good at wrestling and he mentioned that one day it would be interesting to try him in MMA. But whether it was serious or not can't say. But can definitely say that he was training with wrestlers as well back when he was in KZ.

    stake as in:

    Unless you mean Golovkin is fighting for steak? In which case he needs new management.

    Assuming that Golovkin beats Canelo decisively and that a rematch isn't in the offing, I would definitely expect him to have a few more. Murata in Japan is a relatively lucrative and medium risk fight for him. Saunders in Britain would be huge although much higher risk if Saunders comes in on all cylinders. Then there's the Jacobs / Derevyanchenko winner who no doubt would want to fight Golovkin too. Those are three high profile fights vs good fighters that, if he won, would not only cement his name in MW history forever, with 23 defences, but also make a pile of dosh in the process.

    Can’t see golovkin continuing if he wins as he will have nothing to prove and I can see him thinking that he has nothing more to prove or the need to have to keep fighting now he isn’t financially secure
