    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.

    How about Floyd versus GGG at a catchweight of 157 or so?

    Keeping Ward, Froch and the rest of the supermiddleweight division out of it. Is there anyone at 154 -160 that can beat GGG?

    It won't be Barker, because he's fighting Sturm. Geale would be a fine opponent, but would he be willing to fight GGG?

    In Monaco, it could be Murray. Mora is another possibility for Monaco, but I hope it won't be him.

    It won't be Mayweather, Alvarez, Mosley at 154 or Quillan at 160 because they're with Golden Boy/Showtime. Cotto would be a good name if GGG is willing to move down to 154, but I doubt Miguel would be interested.

    Sergio wont be next, but there's a chance we may see Martinez-Golovkin later, in late 2014 or early 2015.

    Seriously if he can't get Martinez or Quillin next year, he needs to move up to SMW. IT's about time he faced elite opposition. This guy is a titlist and he hasn't fought shit. Kinda like how Bute used to be.

    No more bums like Rosado and Stevens who is one step up from a midget. I really want to see him up against somebody who is just as big, young, and capable as he is.

    If he can't get Martinez or Quillin, there's no point in staying unless he wants to make easy defenses like Bernard used to do at 160.

    I'd like to see him and Barker at some point but I think Darren is going to avoid that for the moment and pocket a few nice paydays and who can blame him.

    Barker would get a beat down. Absolutely no chance of winning. He is weak to the body and not a great chin. GGG steamrolls him simialr to the macklin fight

    I dont agree and with any luck we will see it at some point. Oh he may very well catch up to Darren at some point as he cuts the ring off like Hagler but Darren is not getting steamrolled.
