Which three fighters would you like to see Golovkin face?

[erics44]

Golovkin is clearly a very talented fighter. He is technically solid, he wastes no punches, and he hits like a runaway bullet train. The only flaw is that he appears to be quite easy to hit, but he doesn't seem to flinch and as we saw today even when taking a hard shot, he reflexively throws hard enough to discombobulate the senses.

Golovkin is now 32, he keeps on knocking people out, but there is something still missing for me, and I think that is a lack of name fighters on his resume. It would be a good start to get Cotto on his list, but Cotto is not a MW. Technically he is, but he is a small man up there. So my question is, if you could put Golovkin in with 3 fighters in the next 2 years (probably his peak years), then who would you choose as the opposition?

he doesn't have a resume he has a record

[Beanz]

1. Cotto - WBC - RING

Earn some money and raise his profile

2. Soliman - IBF

Take a breather, pick up a belt

3. Quillin - WBO

An actual middleweight with pop and ability but Ironically also probably a real chance to shine in stopping him spectacularly.

Then he will have truly cleaned out the division before challenging himself elsewhere.

Tricky for GGG as it seems the fighters with the biggest money are below him but in all honesty, the only person I see moving up to face GGG is Erislandy Lara, as he has lost some steam in his career and could do with taking a big risk fight.

But anyway, ideally of course GGG would want to unify (Cotto/or Quillin) then cash in on some smaller guys (Floyd/ Alvarez) ala Hopkins but then take the challenge(s) above him (Froch, Ward, or Chavez Jnr) that would be better for his legacy.

From a financial point of view and as realistic as I can fathom; I guess it would have to be Quillin, Alvarez then Chavez. Although it would be excellent if Cotto would take the fight as it keeps GGG firmly in the Latin quarter, which can only be a good thing.

GG has fought enough smaller guys....He won his vacant title from a Jr MW...a shot one at that.
Time for him to take some risks.

I don't know why the bar is set so low for this guy.

"Take a breather pick up a belt"

Hahahaha

His entire career is a breather.
Dude is 32 years old..he should press the accelerator NOT the brakes.

I never hear ya'll say Floyd should take a breather.....hmmmm.

Even GG's fans are carefully managing his slow-motion career.

[Fenster]

Floyd earns $40 million per fight, GGG has never had a 7-figure payday yet.

GGG is the B-side against any current PPV "star," that's why it's convenient to currently swerve him. For a foreigner to do 8000+ tickets at Madison Sqaure Garden is impressive. He's clearly getting closer to forcing his way into the big leauge.

Poor Floyd, poor, poor Floyd, everyone wants him to actually fight for those 30 million dollar and up paydays.
Pulling out a sympathy card for Floyd is going to get you nothing but laughs!
Look, Floyd takes a lot of flak from plenty of people, he's a real celebrity, wrapped in millions of dollars so don't worry about him, he can take it.
Poor Floyd! Thanks, I'll be giggling about that all day!

Is this legit or a mistake?
Miguel Cotto - Boxer

I can't find any confirmation elsewhere so my guess is its a misunderstanding by a site mod. I nearly sprayed powerade all over my laptop.

That sucks but it looks like it may happen.

Can Junior even make middleweight legally?
