Golovkin at super middle?

[Vendettos]

Now if you read my posts, I'm very critical of fighters with blown up records like Wilder, Broner and Golovkin.

However Golovkin stepped up to a higher class last night and he really impressed me.

He looks sharp and accurate and to be brutally honest, I don't see anyone in the division stopping him, even Martinez.

The first thing the commentators said after his win was, should he move up to super middle? And I think he should.


He'd have even more power and its a division that is already very exciting and it's a debate between the 147 (or 152 currently with Mayweather / Canelo) and super middle for which is the best division.


Anybody else think the step up would make for some proper good match ups?

I don't think Martinez would have beaten him prime for prime , let alone now.

Agreed, Martinez should retire, retire now and avoid losing at the late stage.

He wants none of Golovkin.

Golovkin didn't "step up", he was fighting a over-hyped fighter who is/was breakable.

Saying Golovkin stepped up against Macklin is like saying Broner stepped up against Gavin Rees.

My god you are clueless.

I dont know what GGG should do. I feel sorry for him. No one will want to fight him.

I agree 100%, if he can't fight Martinez (which i guess he can't due to Martinez's time off), he should step up to 168 and take a few fights there before a Martinez showdown... because there really isn't any intriguing matchups for him at 160.

I dont see a point of a Martinez match. You can clearly see Martinez is on the decline from his last couple of fights. GGG beating him doesnt prove much to me. Id like to see him in the SMW mix but feel he would struggle against a guy like Ward who knows how to use his size as an advantage.
