Who has Golovkin fought? Well...

[Hougigo]

I wouldn't go quite that far, but I don't think he's getting Chavez or Martinez.

Murray and/or Froch seem more likely although his first fight of the year (Jan. in Monaco) will likely be another C-class opponent.

I see Jan as another filler, doubt the big Froch fight can be made that fast to negate that..... but I think if they aim for the summer, they can get it done for the summer

If 3G decides to go up to 168, I think Arum would aim to make the match-up because it would be more entertaining than fighting Ward or Froch and he'd have a better chance to win.

Golovkin would be willing to go up 68, but will Chavez bother making weight?

I was hoping Murray would make that January date, but he's fighting in early December so it would likely be too soon. Hopefully they get someone durable like Mora.

I think Eddie Hearn prefers Golovkin over Chavez for Froch because then he can have the fight in the UK but he said on Ifilmlondon that he doesn't think Team Golovkin are keen on fighting Froch so Idk.

I think if Murray is offered good money, he'll fight GG. That's the fight that should be made imo.

-Mora/Bursak/Lee/Nielsen in January
-Murray/Barker in June-August
-Martinez in September-December

Good thread, nice analysis. Not bad for your first post!

Give this guy some credit, he pretty accurately summed up what each guy in Golovkin's resume did.

Matthew Macklin is a B-level fighter, he gave Sergio Martinez a good amount of trouble and arguably was robbed against Sturm in his first title attempt.

Thanks. Macklin is fairly decent, after the Sturm fight they've been feeding him to Martinez & GGG, the dude's luck is running thin.

HBO/K2 had plans for Thomas Oosthuizen vs GGG, Hassan N'Dam N'Jikam vs GGG, too bad those plans didn't follow through. Bob Arum promised Matt Korobov a fight against Golovkin in the very near future.

Personally I want the God Of War to face Sergio Mora, Martin Murray, Daniel Geale, & then Carl Froch. Froch is too big a leap for the good boy right now. Froch probably wants to execute Julio Cesar Chavez Jr first anyway.
