Andy Lee and Matthew Macklin would be a good next fight for Golovkin

Mayweather41013y ago

instead of fighting a 154 pounder Golovkin needs to fight a real 160 pounder and both Lee and Macklin would be a good challenge for him.

GGG vs Macklin would be a good fight next for GGG why not?

13y ago

Macklin was approached for both HBO dates, and showed no interest: http://www.boxingscene.com/macklin-denies-golovkin-talks-eyes-alcine-on-9-15--54785 http://www.theboxingobserver.com/matthew-macklin-reveals-he-could-face-chavez-jnr-in-spring-2013-rumour-of-lemieux-clash-also/ i don't blame him......

13y ago

Lee is on the comeback trail and wouldnt be thrown in with Golovkin. Macklin v Golovkin would be a great fight. Golovkin is overhyped & against Macklin we'd see how good he really is & how far he can go. Golovkin v Murray or Quillin.

Macklin would suit GGG style more and would make him look like triple Tyson, so he should go with that fight and am sure macklin and his people would definitely go for that fight since he isn't getting loads of offers right now.

13y ago

Yea.... if everybody wasn't so scared to fight him.

13y ago

Andy Lee should not fight again, theres NO reason at this stage of his career and more importantly his life!! Theres other "opponents" out there!! Ray.

13y ago

Andy lee and macklin would be better opponents than any guy that kid chocolate golovkin or geale have fought.. These guys are paper title holders.. Sergio is the champ simple as that.. The other belt holders can fight who they like but they will never be lineal champ unless they beat Martinez

Andy Lee can be a serious problem at 160, he needs to sort his stamina issues out & stop circling the same way all the time...which makes it easy for his opponent to cut off the ring...like Chavez did.

13y ago

Why would you do that to Andy? I doubt he believes he can win that one, it'd be a trainwreck.
