Next for Golovkin.

[IamInuit]

Lol

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.

[powerpuncher]

i dont see any reason for him to move up yet if he doesnt have to. he has a few decent fights at 160 still. if murray is his mandatory then GGG should fight him next. murray showed that he is legit. then he could fight the winner of barker/sturm. if not, geale is a solid opponent. after that, hopefully sergio and if not, then maybe quillin. i think that he still has about 3 more solid fights that could happen at 160 before he needs to move up. although he fights a lot so maybe he will have more than 3 fights at 160 since he will probably fight at least that many times in 2014.

[Kirkland Laing]

For reasons already discussed there's basically nobody for him at 160. Maybe HBO come up with a lot of money and put him in with Martinez. Martinez is going to need a big cheque because he's looking for one massive final payday. If he can't get the Floyd fight and Cotto fights Canelo or goes to Showtime then that just leaves Martinez and GGG. HBO would probably like to make that kind of passing of the torch fight.

[Hulk]

Canelo?

Bit of a stretch but Alvarez is a strong kid, maybe he could come up n have a go next year.

Rosado is a bum? Did very well against Quillin.

And in my eyes, beat J'Leon Love, who was busted for PEDs.

Golovkin vs Martinez is the only fight that makes sense in the middleweights. Its time for GGG to put up or shut up against the undisputed champ.

[Rantcatrat]

At 31, the only sure thing is that he needs to make the move into a big fight fast.

Martinez is out until the Spring and intends on fighting Cotto. Regardless, Sampson and Dibella have already stated that he won't be fighting GGG in his first fight back.

Canelo, Quillin and Floyd are with Showtime.

Sturm, Barker, Murray and Geale won't face him. With Murray going to Australia to face Garth, I bet they are setting up the winner with a fight with Geale in Australia, where he has a decent fan base. So, they are out.

He beat Stevens.

How about Rubio? It's not the best fight in the world, but at least he's available. He's an come-forward fighter and although GGG would win, it's a good stay busy fight before one with Martinez is lined up.

Martinez is not the undisputed champ and 3G has been calling him out for two years. If anyone needs to shit of get off the pot its Martinez.

I think that is cuz quillin overlooked him . Everybody has good nights and off nights and quillin wasnt fired up while rosado was very determined to win.

Rosado is a gatekeeper at best and a stepping stone for the elite fighters.

Stevens and Proska were both at 28, 3 years younger than him. I don't think he is big for a middleweight so moving up is disadvantageous for him and good luck finding someone as capable. It is quite clear he would be willing to face many of the other top middleweights but he has been avoided like the plague. It seems that some people will never be convinced unless he beats Godzilla.
