Golovkin's Trainer Eyes Mayweather or Chavez For GGG

By Radio Rahim

WBA/IBO middleweight champion Gennady "GGG" Golovkin (30-0, 27KOs) returns this coming Saturday night at the StubHub Center in Carson, California. He will defend his titles in a unification with WBC interim-middleweight champion Marco Antonio Rubio (59-6-1, 51KOs).

In a recent interview with BoxingScene.com, Golovkin made it no secret that he wants a major pay-per-view fight in 2015.

Abel Sanchez, the trainer of Golovkin, has two choices in mind. If Golovkin drops down to 154-pounds, he would like him to face WBC/WBA champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. If Golovkin is moving up in weight to 168-pounds, he would like to see him fight Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.

"If [GGG] was [going] down [in weight] it would be Floyd. If [GGG] was [going] up [in weight], I'd like Julio Cesar Chavez - because Gennady wants a pay-per-view fight.  Julio Cesar Chavez is probably the only one out there right now who is pay-per-view worthy....maybe the winner of Cotto-Canelo - if they fight [Golovkin] it would be pay-per-view worthy. Gennady wants a pay-per-view fight, he hasn't had one yet and he wants to see how he can do in it," Sanchez told BoxingScene.com.
