Which three fighters would you like to see Golovkin face?
Golovkin is clearly a very talented fighter. He is technically solid, he wastes no punches, and he hits like a runaway bullet train. The only flaw is that he appears to be quite easy to hit, but he doesn't seem to flinch and as we saw today even when taking a hard shot, he reflexively throws hard enough to discombobulate the senses.
Golovkin is now 32, he keeps on knocking people out, but there is something still missing for me, and I think that is a lack of name fighters on his resume. It would be a good start to get Cotto on his list, but Cotto is not a MW. Technically he is, but he is a small man up there. So my question is, if you could put Golovkin in with 3 fighters in the next 2 years (probably his peak years), then who would you choose as the opposition?
Re: Which three fighters would you like to see Golovkin face?
Cotto, quillin, froch in that order. Cotto because of the name basically but it would make him a bigger name which would make more people willing to fight him. After quillin, he would have taken out 160 basically unless Sergio can somehow make a miracle comeback. Then froch would be a good fight at 168.

I think GGG would beat all 3 , Froch has no defence , I think GGG would retire Froch.
Re: Which three fighters would you like to see Golovkin face?
Cotto, Mayweather, Froch. Each fight is a guaranteed good fight.
Re: Which three fighters would you like to see Golovkin face?
I would love to see GGG smash Floyd, Saul, Quillen, Cotto, and move up for Froch
Re: Which three fighters would you like to see Golovkin face?
I think GGG is hard to match, as there is no one at middle weight if he moves up in weight,!
Froch would generate a lot of interest, it would make good sense to have the fight over here.
What ever happens Froch is a tough SOB, and is heavy handed and strong, GGG is not big
for the weight, but that power one fight I would love to see.
Re: Which three fighters would you like to see Golovkin face?
Since GGG got 750K for this last fight, I believe his next fight, his team have to be in the 1 mill dollar chase. So that fighter have to be somewhat of a draw or have a title. Besides, I can't see GGG moving up because he would a Mayweather fight. So . . .
If not Cotto, Soliman or Quillen. After that it's definitely $1 million at least against Froch or Jcc Jr or Cotto then Ward.
Re: Which three fighters would you like to see Golovkin face?
Cotto, Quillen, Alvarez. All 3 will avoid him like the plague, unfortunately.

Fair enough with that, but that's a year and then it has to be a jump to 168.

The sensible thing is now Cotto, because that's where the money is. Easily PPV money. May not be $50 or $60 bucks, but it can get a few people between $20 or $30 buck PPV bracket.
GGG and Quillin on PPV can happen as well- but certainly no more than $25 bucks for the show.
I'd say, and not necessarily in this order:
Cotto; Quillin; and then Ward.
The fight with Quillin has to happen. More than the other fights. The unification fight with Quillin just has to happen.

If Froch has no defense then neither does GG.
He got hit PLENTY last night.
