    If those are his options, hes in a lot of trouble. They are no better that what he's already fought and beat. Those fights don't gain him anything but rounds in the bank.

      Throw a name out there if you see some better options.

      He would probably have to move up to find a better fight.

        looks like its time to do that. like i said before, the middleweight division is absolute crap.

          Who is available up there for June? Ward is injured till the fall, Kessler, froch, bute all have fights. Steiglitz and AA just fought and are most likely going to fight another big money rematch

          A guy like Tommy would be awesome, but that was attempted before and basically the best guy at 168 would be Bika

          Gaele needs to step up, he's not doing anything

            Vera and Stevens are probably worse than Ishida and Rosado. The only quality guys available for June are Geale, Bursak, Zbik. Literally ever other Middleweight is either not available or has already turned him down in the recent past. Tommy or Vlasov might be options to explore at 168. Korobov would be better than Lemieux.

              What about George?

                Slim pickings on this weight. Didn't Golovkin say he can go down to 154? I would like to see him against Jr or Martinez in the near future.

                Things were looking good when Pirog was around building momentum

                  Why would he move down and drop his title. Plus who there would actually face him?

                    Quillin needs to find his balls, stop talking waffle and get in the ring with GGG.

                    GGG is probably better known then Quillin right now, so it would be a good scalp and name to get on his resume if he thinks he can beat GGG.

                    The rest of the birds at 160 are running from this cat, they make sure to get hooked into another opponent or involved in negotiations as fast as possible.

                    One of these guys has to find their dancing shoes, surely?

                      Quillin is fighting 4/27 so a june fight is not possible. Gaele needs to step up and fight Golovkin. He has already dropped a belt to ducked him, and is not doing anything at the moment
