    Germany, Russia, Kazakhstan. Fu3k fighting Murray in England even with Golovkin's power i don't trust that place. After watching all their top MW's come up short i wouldn't be suprised if they pulled some outragous corruption like a Fury/Firtha stoppage or Cleverly/Kuziemski cut stoppage.

      Murray probably won't either. He'll wait around and fight the Geale/Barker winner.

        Well I didn't watch those fights so I can't comment but come on, UK boxing isn't corrupt to the level you're inferring. You put Germany and Russia ahead?

        Anyway, I think Murray could be able to fight in the States if he applies early enough.

          Weebler what is the point of asking the question if every answer results in you saying ''He has a fight next'', ''He won't for contractual reasons''. The way you phrased the thread gave the impression that fighters would be too cowardly to face him ''who has the guts''. Plenty of fighters would fight him, given the opportunity.

              The above is what I don't understand. If all of the fights at 160lb would be non-competitive why should he put himself at a disadvantage by fighting bigger opponents in the 168lb division. If the others in 160lb aren't in his league he should prove it, and rule the division with an iron fist.

              This is the second time I have said this, this week, but not enough fighters are willing to go the Hopkins route nowadays.

                Yeah, I don't know how many people want to see Froch vs Kessler again. They should make Golovkin vs Froch. It's fresh and exciting.

                  That would be a great fight, I would watch it.

                    I do think UK corruption can be horrendous but my main point is Golovkin is the Champion he shouldn't be fighting in England. Hold it in Germany, Russia or Kazakhstan where he can draw fans if he can't fight Murray in the US due to his visa issues.

                      Possibly, but he went to Argentina to fight Martinez so he could opt for the payday.

                      I'm not really sure that's true in terms of the top fighters. Obviously you'd get a lot of C+ fighters jumping at the pay-day.

                      I do take your point about the way I've asked the question. I'm really trying to establish who will fight him next.
