Which three fighters would you like to see Golovkin face?

[Rantcatrat]

I would like to see him fight Cotto, Quiilin and then Ward. I think Andre has the best chance to beat him, and I would make Ward the favorite in that fight. Froch would be a suitable replacement for Quillin, and I think Froch would give GGG trouble and make him look human. GGG is a 154 fighter who fights a weight class up because he is that damn good. His punches won't have the same effect against bigger men like Froch, Ward and even Chavez jr.

If I was GGG's manager I would push hard for a fight at 154 vs Canelo, then Cotto at 160, make a couple of defenses n then vs Ward is a mega fight. I think Ward wins that one though, as he is the larger man and is very versatile n fast. Interesting to see how he takes GGG's punch m if GGG can carry his punch up with him.

If he can land a big punch!
Defensively Ward is superior to everyone he has fought so far. I don't see this fight ever happening, there are easier money fights out there, Ward is too big, and GGG is there to be hit. I think Ward would be a stupid move.

People want Mayweather to fight GG....so why is it so stupid for GG to fight Ward?

Top fighters from America are constantly berated and chided for "not taking risks"......those standards should apply across the board and across the world.

It's not crazy to want to see GGG in against Ward or Froch or Junior - all guys at 168 or above. I don't put down guys for not wanting to move up in weight class. For example, it would have been great for Floyd to jump up to 160 to challenge Sergio like Cotto did, but I don't knock him for not doing it. It can improve legacy but it doesn't detract from legacy. won't knock GGG for not moving up to face the guys at 168.

It's also not crazy to want to see him in against the best of the division that's he's currently in including Cotto or Kid Chocolate, or the division below him, including Mayweather or Canelo.

That's why for me I'd like to see him in with all of the above. How hype would a Cotto-GGG fight be at MSG?

Floyd already has a legacy..

GG does not...and doesn't seem interested in getting one.

I'd like to see Golovkin held to the same standards that Floyd and others are held too.

The bar is held low for GG considering he's supposed to be a p4p fighter.

If you are comparing GGG to Floyd, that's ridiculous from the get go. Floyd is an established great. GGG is only recently on HBO. Floyd's a PPV star and has held the p4p title for literally years. GGG just made the list, if he's even on it. If you are upset that people are anointing him the next great thing until he's proven it, I understand that to an extent (remember Broner?). Proksa, Macklin, Geale, Stevens, Adama are good quality wins over top ten opponents, but there's no one who is great on that list. At the same time, he's just now turning into a burgeoning star. He's not on PPV. He's not making Canelo, Cotto, Mayweather money.

He should want to establish a legacy and he's doing it now by cleaning out the division and knocking people out in spectacular fashion. That's exactly how to establish a legacy, as is becoming the lineal middleweight champion, the "man" in the division. When I analyze legacy, I always look at if the guy was the "man" in the division.

I think we should hold him to the same standards as we hold other comparable fighters. For example, Ward has cleaned out the division and I have called on Ward to move up to face Hopkins, Stevenson and Kovalev because there is no one else in the super middleweight division for him to face. He's literally beat everyone.

Without wins over Cotto and Kid Choc., and to a lesser extent, Soliman, however, GGG can't be said to have cleaned out the division. Cotto is the lineal middleweight champion and Kid Chocolate and Solimon are other belt holders in it. @cyclone - is your point that you think GGG beats everyone at 160 and 154 easily so he might as well move up? Because, I'm not sure I agree, I think Mayweather and Cotto might give GGG a lot of problems and if we're talking about legacy, beating Mayweather and Cotto, proven greats, definitely would add to GGG's legacy, were he to be able to do it.

If it were me, I'd like to see him face all three guys and then move up to Froch and Junior or Kessler, begin cleaning out super middleweight, grow into the weight naturally, become a more-recognized star and then take on Ward. Would I be upset with a huge Ward-GGG fight now? Not at all, of course.
