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.

Which 3 fighters at the same time?
;)

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.

I would like to see him fight Cotto, Quiilin and then Ward. I think Andre has the best chance to beat him, and I would make Ward the favorite in that fight. Froch would be a suitable replacement for Quillin, and I think Froch would give GGG trouble and make him look human. GGG is a 154 fighter who fights a weight class up because he is that damn good. His punches won't have the same effect against bigger men like Froch, Ward and even Chavez jr.
If I was GGG's manager I would push hard for a fight at 154 vs Canelo, then Cotto at 160, make a couple of defenses n then vs Ward is a mega fight. I think Ward wins that one though, as he is the larger man and is very versatile n fast. Interesting to see how he takes GGG's punch m if GGG can carry his punch up with him.

Re: Which three fighters would you like to see Golovkin face?
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.

Defensively Ward is superior to everyone he has fought so far. I don't see this fight ever happening, there are easier money fights out there, Ward is too big, and GGG is there to be hit. I think Ward would be a stupid move.

If it's racist to not like GG then it must be the same to not like Mayweather.
At least Floyd takes chances.
GG's camp shut that "well fight anybody from 154 to 168" shit down real quit..;D
Andre Ward single-handedly turned that noise off.

Top fighters from America are constantly berated and chided for "not taking risks"......those standards should apply across the board and across the world.

It's not crazy to want to see GGG in against Ward or Froch or Junior - all guys at 168 or above. I don't put down guys for not wanting to move up in weight class. For example, it would have been great for Floyd to jump up to 160 to challenge Sergio like Cotto did, but I don't knock him for not doing it. It can improve legacy but it doesn't detract from legacy. won't knock GGG for not moving up to face the guys at 168.
It's also not crazy to want to see him in against the best of the division that's he's currently in including Cotto or Kid Chocolate, or the division below him, including Mayweather or Canelo.
That's why for me I'd like to see him in with all of the above. How hype would a Cotto-GGG fight be at MSG?

Floyd already has a legacy..
GG does not...and doesn't seem interested in getting one.
I'd like to see Golovkin held to the same standards that Floyd and others are held too.
The bar is held low for GG considering he's supposed to be a p4p fighter.

What do you mean top fighters from America? There are only 3 and one of them is pretty much retired and the other 2 will be retired soon. I think there is maybe 2 or 3 Americans in the top 20 fighters in the world so its not like you are riddled with talent
-
Re: Which three fighters would you like to see Golovkin face?
I just don't think anyone beats him at or below 160 pounds, to the point where I don't even care to see it. Cotto and Floyd won't go anywhere near him. Honestly liked the idea of his fighting Chavez Jr for a first opponent at 168, just to tell us how he handles the weight/brings his power up etc, and to see Jr get beat up of course:p Bika would also be a good way to break into the division. After that absolutely Froch and Ward are the superfights for me.

Why should Floyd go near GG??
Mayweather is a WW.
A better question would be why won't GG go near Andre Ward.
Floyd has moved up from 130 to 154 pounds....winning titles along the way...and you make him out to be a coward.
GG on the other hand..
Is hailed as this beat yet hasn't moved up once and isn't interested in doing so.
You GG fans have to stop calling Floyd.....or anybody....a coward.

If you are comparing GGG to Floyd, that's ridiculous from the get go. Floyd is an established great. GGG is only recently on HBO. Floyd's a PPV star and has held the p4p title for literally years. GGG just made the list, if he's even on it. If you are upset that people are anointing him the next great thing until he's proven it, I understand that to an extent (remember Broner?). Proksa, Macklin, Geale, Stevens, Adama are good quality wins over top ten opponents, but there's no one who is great on that list. At the same time, he's just now turning into a burgeoning star. He's not on PPV. He's not making Canelo, Cotto, Mayweather money.
He should want to establish a legacy and he's doing it now by cleaning out the division and knocking people out in spectacular fashion. That's exactly how to establish a legacy, as is becoming the lineal middleweight champion, the "man" in the division. When I analyze legacy, I always look at if the guy was the "man" in the division.
I think we should hold him to the same standards as we hold other comparable fighters. For example, Ward has cleaned out the division and I have called on Ward to move up to face Hopkins, Stevenson and Kovalev because there is no one else in the super middleweight division for him to face. He's literally beat everyone.
Without wins over Cotto and Kid Choc., and to a lesser extent, Soliman, however, GGG can't be said to have cleaned out the division. Cotto is the lineal middleweight champion and Kid Chocolate and Solimon are other belt holders in it. @cyclone - is your point that you think GGG beats everyone at 160 and 154 easily so he might as well move up? Because, I'm not sure I agree, I think Mayweather and Cotto might give GGG a lot of problems and if we're talking about legacy, beating Mayweather and Cotto, proven greats, definitely would add to GGG's legacy, were he to be able to do it.
If it were me, I'd like to see him face all three guys and then move up to Froch and Junior or Kessler, begin cleaning out super middleweight, grow into the weight naturally, become a more-recognized star and then take on Ward. Would I be upset with a huge Ward-GGG fight now? Not at all, of course.

Who do you think wins between Ward and GGG? Do you think GGG has a solid shot at upsetting the "man" at 168? You must think that if you are pushing so much for the fight. Me--I'm not so sure. I think part of GGG's success at 160 is his power and strength and Ward knows how to smother power well. It would be a good fight but I have to favor Ward.

You're jocking a 32 y/o 8 year pro like he was a kid of 22...;D
Why have you got any talent,! yes you have pissing people off Floyd is what he is,
if he was the dogs bollocks he would fight at middle weight.
But he does not want to get hurt, in the 80s all the GREAT fighter faced each other,
may I just say you do talk some crap.;)

His punches won't have the same effect against bigger men like Froch, Ward and even Chavez jr.
If I was GGG's manager I would push hard for a fight at 154 vs Canelo, then Cotto at 160, make a couple of defenses n then vs Ward is a mega fight. I think Ward wins that one though, as he is the larger man and is very versatile n fast. Interesting to see how he takes GGG's punch m if GGG can carry his punch up with him.
If he can land a big punch!
Defensively Ward is superior to everyone he has fought so far. I don't see this fight ever happening, there are easier money fights out there, Ward is too big, and GGG is there to be hit. I think Ward would be a stupid move.
People want Mayweather to fight GG....so why is it so stupid for GG to fight Ward?
Top fighters from America are constantly berated and chided for "not taking risks"......those standards should apply across the board and across the world.
What do you mean top fighters from America? There are only 3 and one of them is pretty much retired and the other 2 will be retired soon. I think there is maybe 2 or 3 Americans in the top 20 fighters in the world so its not like you are riddled with talent
If America isn't riddled with talent then nobody is.

If Floyd is a coward for not fighting at middleweight then GG is a bigger coward for not fighting Ward at 168.
Andre Ward single-handedly shut that "GG will fight anybody from 154 to 168" bullshit down.
Thanks to Ward you don't hear that shit anymore;D
Mayweather started at 130 and has TITLES clear to 154.
GG has NEVER defeated ONE reigning champion.
Compare the number of times Mayweather has moved up to the number of times GG has moved up....if you wanna' get a good laugh.
Golovkin better be glad that was Geale hitting him last night.

Re: Which three fighters would you like to see Golovkin face?
I agree, Ward would be a tough fight for GGG. Ward could do a lot to nullify GGG power but it would be great to see how ggg handles Wards style. Cotto v Golovkin would be the shit. Two guys who will not back down regardless of what's going on. If it were anywhere near what I have in my mind it could be a fight of the year candidate.
Kid Choclate would be good to see but I'm big on Quillin and fear he would not do to well against my boy. I don't see GGG backing down from anyone. I think he would fight Floyd tomorrow given the chance but at this point I don't see GGG. Having the ability to do much against Floyd at this point in his career.
I know GGG catches some shit here for various reasons but I seriously think he is going to be a superstar. He is a lot more than power and develops with each fight. I could name a number more I'd like to see him fight but those I feel would be the most interesting

Honestly liked the idea of his fighting Chavez Jr for a first opponent at 168, just to tell us how he handles the weight/brings his power up etc, and to see Jr get beat up of course:p Bika would also be a good way to break into the division. After that absolutely Froch and Ward are the superfights for me.
Why should Floyd go near GG??
Mayweather is a WW.
A better question would be why won't GG go near Andre Ward.
Floyd has moved up from 130 to 154 pounds....winning titles along the way...and you make him out to be a coward.
GG on the other hand..
Is hailed as this beat yet hasn't moved up once and isn't interested in doing so.
You GG fans have to stop calling Floyd.....or anybody....a coward.
What are you talking about? I would never call any top fighter a coward and I agree with all that! Floyd is tiny compared to Golovkin and has never held anything above 150 pounds very well, that's why he shouldn't take the fight. Golovkin going after Ward would be asmaller ask and I'd like to see it, but it's still asking him to give up advantages and do the same thing. It's easy to see why Golovkin would hope to fight Cotto before having to throw all his chips in like that. You talk about his age or w/e, but that's all the more reason he needs to start getting the big money. None of these guys we're talking about are afraid to fight period, how about you just leave that alone.

Julio Cesar Chavez, quillin/cotto then move up to fight ward.

Time for old dude to step up and "challenge himself".
You know you very much remind the rest of Saddo's of FinitoElDinamita a racist prick who was banned and also didn't like GGG.
If it's racist to not like GG then it must be the same to not like Mayweather.
At least Floyd takes chances.
GG's camp shut that "well fight anybody from 154 to 168" shit down real quit..;D
Andre Ward single-handedly turned that noise off.
No no I didn't say it was racist not to like GGG , I said Finito El Dinamito was a racist prick, and he didn't like GGG.
You wont get long here , you cant help yourself.

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?
he doesn't have a resume he has a record

Re: Which three fighters would you like to see Golovkin face?
1. Cotto - WBC - RING
Earn some money and raise his profile
2. Soliman - IBF
Take a breather, pick up a belt
3. Quillin - WBO
An actual middleweight with pop and ability but Ironically also probably a real chance to shine in stopping him spectacularly.
Then he will have truly cleaned out the division before challenging himself elsewhere.

Re: Which three fighters would you like to see Golovkin face?
Tricky for GGG as it seems the fighters with the biggest money are below him but in all honesty, the only person I see moving up to face GGG is Erislandy Lara, as he has lost some steam in his career and could do with taking a big risk fight.
But anyway, ideally of course GGG would want to unify (Cotto/or Quillin) then cash in on some smaller guys (Floyd/ Alvarez) ala Hopkins but then take the challenge(s) above him (Froch, Ward, or Chavez Jnr) that would be better for his legacy.
From a financial point of view and as realistic as I can fathom; I guess it would have to be Quillin, Alvarez then Chavez. Although it would be excellent if Cotto would take the fight as it keeps GGG firmly in the Latin quarter, which can only be a good thing.

GG has fought enough smaller guys....He won his vacant title from a Jr MW...a shot one at that.
Time for him to take some risks.
I don't know why the bar is set so low for this guy.
