Next for Golovkin.

[jon09]

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.

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.

Hatton (Murray's promoter) had a press conference last week where he announced that Murray would be fighting for the "world" title in February 2014. It was basically a done deal and it woudn't be in the States. Now Golovkin's promoter has said his next fight will be February in Monte Carlo.

Would you happen to have a link for that? I really hope Murray gets the fight.

Think it's about 5-6 mins in he starts talking about the "world" title fight being next.

@Fenster - are you suggesting that GGG against Murray will be GGG's announced fight in Monte Carlo in February? It might make sense when considering that Murray can't visit the US due to his criminal history. If so, it could also be against the Sturm/Barker winner in the UK or Germany, right?

Who would you guys favor in a GGG versus Floyd fight at a catchweight between 160 and 154?

Hatton specifically said that Murray's "world" title fight is abroad. Murray-Barker is an England fight plus Barker is tied up with Sturm in rematch clauses.

Murray-Martinez is a no go and Quillin is out because of the visa issues. That leaves Golovkin. The fact his promoter said his next fight is Monte Carlo... you don't need to be Sherlock Holmes.

I repeat my earlier post in the Stevens/GGG thread...
He needs to spend the next three years making the middleweight division something great again. There are good challenges in his own weight class..

"Great performance from GGG.. Did you see the look on Stevens face when he took that shot in the 2nd? He showed bottle too, and made a fight of it. Now I hope that Golovkin tries to unify the division and make it great again and does not do the super-middle thing. I hope he fights Martinez or Murray (who beat Martinez in Argentina for me) and let's get back to a Marvellous Marvin era again and defend against all-comers. The weight tourism thing is getting silly & should be the exception and not the rule in boxing.. but match makers are getting obsessed with it at the mo'.."

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.
