According to "boxing Fantatik" on instagram:
Gennady Golovkin’s promoter Tom Loeffler says Golovkin is willing to jump up 2 weight classes and face Bernard Hopkins in June at 175 without a catchweight. Golovkin is desperate for a big fight. Not only does he want to fight often, but he's also willing to fight anyone from 154 to 175 lbs.
What do you guys think about this? Could Hopkins End this Hype Train? Or would GGG retire the Executioner? And If he does maybe Andre Ward would avenge BHops Loss.

Golovkin loses by unanimous decision in a tough-to-watch, predictable fight. His record is tarnished, he's mentally ruined (like every other Hopkins-defeated fighter) and fades back into obscurity. Everyone on boxingscene laments his ill-conceived jump of two weight classes, and the general public doesn't bat an eyelash.
With that said, let's see it!
I really can't see GGG moving up effectively. How will he put on he weight? How will his power be at 175? How fast will he be? There's just too many questions for which the answer would be negative.
Remember what happened to Pavlik? Get ready for part 2 if this fight happens
Come on man, dude fights light middle weights that are past 30 why not a 50 year old man too? I'd laugh if Hopkins said let's do it and beat the snot out of him.
Hopkins doesnt want to get his career ended by getting KO'd by a whiteboy. Can we get Golovkin/Ward instead?
Pretty much this. His fans definitely don't want to see that either.
Wouldn't surprise me at all if Hopkins took the match. Golovkin is exactly the type of "flat footed" opponent the old man lives for.
Hopkins beats the **** out of him. Horrible match up for God of War.
what's the point?
i dont want to see bernard hopkins holding, head butting, spoiling, cheating, and faking phantom injuries again in order to win a fight.
no thanks.
He didn't do any of that against cloud. Cloud initiated most the holds it seemed lol.
But How would GGG fight from 154-175 is what I'm wondering. He Fights at Lhw then tries to fight a JR mw lol
Well as Dwyer might say, its either GGG by Ko or Hopkins via UD.
Ggg says he wants to fight everyone from 154 upwards, has there ever been a fighter who has successfully jumped up and down divisions at will?
