After seeing them both in against Rosado, I'm not sure Quillin is ready for GGG yet. Quillin should grant Rosado a rematch and extinguish any doubt there. I bet after Quillin is kept busy with Rosado and Jacobs for the early part of next year. A healthy Martinez might be a problem for GGG because of his speed, but I don't think we'll see a healthy Martinez again. Also, Martinez has been looking for a big PPV fight against a name, like Cotto, so even if Martinez were to get in the ring against GGG, it wouldn't be until after a fight with Cotto.
Hearns won't let Barker go anywhere near GGG (he's practically said as much) and he has a fight with Sturm lined up already. If Sturm beats Barker, I imagine we'll see a rematch. If Barker beats Sturm, I would suspect Hearns would prefer matching Barker up with Murray, assuming Murray gets by Garth Wood in Australia. Geale is a tempting choice, he and Barker was a close fight, but I just don't see him wanting the risk.
Frankly, after his stay-busy fight in Monaco in February, I don't know where he should go.
He's in a conundrum like Floyd really in that there is no one at his weight available and worthy. The jump between 160 and 168 is huge. I might favor Ward and Froch over him due to size. Can he impose his strength on bigger fighters? If Froch gets by Groves, that's a fight I'd fly to Nottingham from the states to see. Holy crap.
