Everyone does realize G fought guys like Geale, Rubio, Tureono, and Wade until he was 34. Then Jacobs was mandatory and G had to fight him. Many thought Jacobs won. Then Charlo moved up and is mandatory. So G finally fought Canelo. First chance he got G cried and moaned and b*tched like a little schoolgirl to get out of the rematch. It worked, the nsac will probably suspend Canelo, and G can fight munguia or whoever. I've never even heard of these guys. I honestly haven't. So, yea, I had never heard or Turenoue Johnson or Wade either. Sounds like a typical G opponent. I don't see why anyone would be surprised by this.
Like G's gonna try and fight Andrade, get real folks. G's fought two real, A level opponents and both fights could have went either way. Who honestly believes G wants to fight Andrade or Charlo or even BSJ next? He might lose and he knows it. If he fights Mango Man it is a sure win, probably still $1 million payday, and he gets his final cash-out fight against Canelo in September or even May of next year. Just saying, G is not risking that payday with Canelo by taking on any challenge. This is old news.
They need to stop pushing this Spike dude. He's a journeyman at best.
I agree that isn't going to prove anything or keep Golovkin sharp. It's ridiculous.

Id say its because Golden Boy still want to retain interest in the card. Spikes their boy. Golovkin should scrap the date if no Canelo and see what Saunders is saying, imo.
Jaime Munguia? The 154 lber? It would make sense for cinco de mayo. He's tall, undefeated as well but too young and way too inexperienced. However, he's a much better choice than Spike. The level of scrutiny he would get for fighting Spike O'Sullivan, he'd never be able to live it down.
My guess as to why these two are being considered is likely because of money. They're probably willing to accept less money, like maybe $300-500K. Whereas Derevyachenko and Andrade are probably looking at a $1M payday or something close to that.
Andrade and Derevyanchenko are both free and have both thrown their names out there.
Why not them?
Sure. The important thing is that he stay busy against someone that can give him a fight. The sooner the fight is signed the better.

im one of the bigger lil g detractors around....but its going to be difficult to get a fight like andrade/ggg on this short notice.....andrade is prob going to want real good money for it and treat it like they had planned it for 5 months....not sure how derevyanchenko would approach it....but i know andrade aint gonna take short money for it
I think Golovkin has to fight somebody to stay sharp. Preferably someone credible but it looks like most credible fighters are booked up. Forget about Canelo and make unification the goal. I never thought chasing after Canelo was a good idea. Golovkin should fire Loeffler and get someone with more street smarts.
