    Its not Golovkins fault but dont hype these fighters up, he should be fighting better men than this.

    Monroe is a slick fighter that all the flowmos say Golovkin can't beat that style. Lace em up Willie, come take your medicine.

    Stay-busy opponents for a great like Golovkin. Strong opponents for other MWs.

    there just ok opponents for other middleweights, Golovkin needs to get that championship, be a waste just fighting guys around the lower top 10 to 15.

    no, they would be considered strong opponents for the likes of Geale, Quillin etc. A lot of people would pick Monroe over Geale or Lee for example.

    Golovkin just levels above.

    Yeah ok there strong enough , its just that Monroe is fairly unproven, same with Johnson, Heiland has a few loses already. There grand like but everyone looks at GGG as the middleweight champion, these guys are like a fight or two away from that, beating them doesnt really do a whole lot for me. I want to see Golovkin get the belt and be the number 1 so everyone has to fight him for the belt. The way it is now leaves a lot to doubt, these boys would be a step down from Murray

    Sadly, a stay-busy fight (going by whats the Vegas oddsmakers will put out, all aforementioned names in thread title likely to land about 40-1) is likely in the cards for GGG May fight.

    But when you look at the list of available opponents, even at 168, there just seems to be no helping it. Even at 168 there are no viable opportunities for May or June.
