Next for Golovkin.

How about Geale or Barker?

Wouldn't mind seein Golovkin beat up Chavez Jr. but I don't see him ever makin 160 again.

Martinez then Quillin .

I think it's tempting to put him in with a big name, the fans have waited long enough. but last fight proved there's a lot his camp can work on. There were holes RJJ could easily identify and having someone as well rounded and apt as Sergio Martinez might be a mistake. If i were to throw a name out there, Carl Froch would be an interesting fight.

Golovkin will reportedly be back in the ring on February 1st in Monte Carlo, Monaco against an opponent still to be determined.


Golovkin to fight next on February 1st in Monte Carlo

Stevens had a go but that punching power, was just to much Golovkin just gave him a calculated
beating , very impressive indeed I don't see them lining up to face GGG.
Sergio would take bad beating, and at this stage in his career he may well retire to be honest
Murray had Sergio over, GGG would knock him spark out, I don't think Sergio would be at all
competitive to old and not good enough.

Cant right Martinez out. He was excellent against Chavez. Occasion/overlooking Murray can explain the poor performance

I feel the same way, the difference in Martinez from Chavez to Murray was unbelievable. Don't know if he did overlook Murray, came back too soon after surgery and rehab or got caught up in all the BS in Argentina.
I'm not really defending Martinez here, just trying to make some sense of the drop in his performance.
The old saying is that fighters can get old from one fight to the next. His next fight should tell us, one way or the other.

Oh c'mon. How 'bout a catchweight? Or maybe GGG would venture to 168 if the money was right. C'mon, let's do it. I'm sure Junior would make the sacrifice to fight another big name if he thought he could bloat up to twice his size like he usually does. I'd love to see that massacre..... er..... I mean..... fight.

I noticed two things and do correct me if I'm wrong in this, combination punching from a fast boxer kind of freezes GGG as well as making him go backward tends to drop his offensive output.

Now to be fair, what I mentioned isn't an oddity as most boxers tend do do exactly what GGG did in those cases, seldom few can fight going backward quite well.

So all you need for a competitive fight is a guy who can bang hard enough and punches fast enough to keep Golovkin on his toes and going backward on occasion.

One thing I see all over is people giving Quillen the business, correct me if I'm wrong but isn't there a network issue there? I know he said just a few days ago that he'd be willing but there are issues standing in the way. I'd pick GGG against him anyway but it doesn't seem fair to faultt him over a fight that can't be made.

It really seems like GGG is going to have to fight one of the bigger guys with a good name. The only excuse people have anymore is his competition. If he fights Froch or Ward that excuse is gone win or lose it opens up other fights since if he loses he's clearly beatable and if he wins he has the name he needs on his ledger.
