    I would love to see him vs Lemieux, although Lemieux's handlers would never take that chance. It would be fireworks for the first couple rounds and Lemieux would be very dangerous for the first couple.

    It would be interesting to see if Golovkin would be more offensive or defensive minded against Lemieux early in the fight. Both guys can hurt you with one punch. Lemieux only knows one mode...Attack!

              Rubio it is. If Golo can spark Rubio clean it'll be a huge message

                Daniel Geale is definetly an option for the June date. Geale has repeatedly said he wants to fight Golovkin if not his IBF mandatory (see: Soliman/Sturm debacle). I don't know why people keep pretending he's ducking GGG.

                Geale: "Whilst I enjoyed unifying titles and being crowned the WBA super champion, it has become ultimately clear to me that it is impossible to keep all the belts," Geale said. "I am aware of my mandatory obligations. However, I felt that the challenge from Anthony Mundine was an opportunity to settle the score once and for all, and I want to thank the IBF for granting me the exception that creates a fight which will please all Australian boxing fans. As I proudly remain the IBF world champion, I wish the WBA and whoever they crown the same short-lived pleasure, as I will be coming to reclaim what is rightfully mine."
                "We don't blame Geale and his team for taking a safer fight," said K2 promoter Tom Loeffler, who promotes Golovkin. "However, they knew the obligations they would have prior to the Sturm fight. Geale is still IBF champion, and if he continues to win, this might be a great unification fight in the future."

                Loeffler's position on Geale taking the safer fight is disingenuous. He knows well that Geale (28-1, 25 KOs) will make a lot more money by facing Mundine (44-4, 26 KOs) instead of Golovkin. If Golovkin (24-0, 21 KOs) were in the same position, Loeffler would have him take the more lucrative fight, too, and he knows it.
                Gary SHaw: We are not going to run from Golovkin or anyone else. If Golovkin wins, I will have no problem at all making a fight with Tom Loeffler and [K2 Promotions].
                Gary Shaw, promoter for IBF/WBA middleweight champion Daniel Geale (28-1, 15KOs), told BoxingScene.com that his fighter will not run from a potential showdown with hard-puncher Gennady Golovkin (23-0, 20KOs).

                  What about Bursak, Konecny or Ward? I think he beats all three handily but at least they are pretty solid MW's and Ward wants a MW to move up....wonder if he is still up to the idea if Golovkin volunteered?

                    Actions speak louder than words, it doesn't look good when a fighter drops a belt rather than fight the dangerous mandatory. We will see if he steps up to the plate though, I personally doubt it.

                      Ward is injured until at least early fall, im not sure why people keep bringing him up. Ward wants a MW to move up? Gee didnt you criticize Golovkin for having guys come up?

                      Are Bursak and Konecny top fighters in the division? They're in the 15-20 range, its scrapping the bottom of the barrel.
