Quillin says he wants it after Dam early next year.

A lot of power in this match-up.
Quillin and Jacobs can rotate rounds vs GGG in one fight and I think he would knock both of them out :lol1:
Has Jacobs even been pushing for the GGG fight or is he fine holding the "regular" WBA belt? :lol1:
He knows he gets sparked fast.

This lol, I actually thought for a second that Jacobs' size would give him a chance against GGG, but now that I know that his chin is horrible(Mora of all people had him hurt bad) I think Golovkin knocks him out with a jab.
Quillin could've been a lot better fighter than he became. Cedric Kushner was developing him the right way then he signed with Schaeffer/Haymon they dropped him to two fights a year against carefully selected opponents with no expected chance.
A lot can change in 3 years. Peter has regressed. Lost his title. He's fighting a stripper.
GGG's selling out MSG on PPV.
Yup. the same time 3 years ago, we all wrote Lemieux off saying he was done. Now he is getting his own little superfight.
The landscape is always changing.
cmon man, this isnt even going to be competitive ... ggg crushes quillin, no doubt in my mind...
Look at the date of the post you replied to.
It's crazy how time flies. This match-up has been on the radar THIS long and we're nowhere near close to getting it.
man...there are some awesome fights at 160 that can be made.

If N'Jikam chin-checks him, then Quillin has a big issue.
if he has chin issues, golovkin should be the furthest thing on his mind, haha. like i said earlier, if quillin wins his next fight, i'd still like to see him against some MW contenders (like the ones i listed in my previous post).
Both fighters got tremendous power, Quillin has better handspeed and footspeed, and is the taller and rangier guy but Golovkin is more accurate and a better body puncher. As of right now I'll say it's a toss up, waiting to see if Quillin's chin gets tested against N'Dam.

I think this would be a terrific fight, although I haven't seen either man enough to make a good prediction. I'm more familiar with Pete. I like Quillen the man, but I'm not sold on him yet as a fighter. There's something a little too quirky about his style for my taste. Pete has sneaky power, but he slaps a bit. Gennady I've only seen clips of; a round here, a round there. But he concerns me. The little I've seen of Golovkin seems to show a determined fighter with solid skills. In any event, this would be a match-up of two young, very capable, fighters. I'd love to see it...and I'll be rooting for "Kid Chocolate".
I agree brode. There is something about Quillin that doesn't sell his stock well just yet. Maybe it's his awkward style or the fact that he hasn't had a career defining win, old Winky and Mckeown don't cut it.
Golovkin on the other hand, when it comes to styles is everything Pete is not, very poised and throws well balanced thudding shots but also hasn't fought anyone of much importance. I'd too be rooting for Chocolate. I feel the sooner this fight gets made the better Quillin's chances are.
i think quillin needs more fights before stepping up to golovkin (not saying golovkin is super great, he's just better than quillin atm imo). he's already scheduled to face n'jikam so depending if he wins and how he looks, we'll see what happens. if he's successful i would like to see him fight one of the brits (barker, macklin, and murrary) or someone like andy lee or pirog. there's quite a few possibilites that can happen. i mean if he wins his next fight he's the wbo champ. he can have an opportunity to face geale or the chavez/martinez winner. 154-168 are the divisions to be at imo, real exciting stuff happen around there.

They are fighting eachother. I would like to see more of the vanquished contenders fighting to re-establish themselves though especially the UK guys.
True, I suppose they are! With Martinez, Golovkin and Proksa, and Quillin and whatshisface.
But our guys aren't. Which is a shame because they are all so evenly matched. Brilliant potential fights all of them. I'd rather see Barker, Macklin, Lee and Murray fight each other and even now Proksa. Such brilliant fights to be made. It would be a bit of shame for them just to become a Golovkin or Pirog victim.
great fight!
We would have golden era of middleweight if these guys would actually fight each other. Even the guys who are a good level below the top-tier guys like Macklin, Lee, Barker, Geale, and Murray are all credible foes for the top men but would be even better in fights with each other.
