    i don't think it would be wise for golovkin to fight anyone at 168 lbs yet - not while he still has business to settle at 160 lbs. yo-yoing in weight can be disastrous. let's not forget that he is a 30 year old man, not a 20 year old.

      Froch seems to be the only one that's a one and done deal with nothing for the future.

      Arum could use JCC Jr as bait for Ward to join their team.... probably to a 6 year and 11 month contract.

      Arum could also grab an option or so from Golovkin for his rising stable of MW's.....but mainly Korobov

          HBO knows Chavez v Ward probably makes more money, that's a preference and I'm just not convinced that GGG will move up to 168 just yet.

          Ofc I'd rather GGG V Jr but I think the Ward fight is more likely.

              Waste of a fight for all three of those guys. Chavez is crap and doesn't give a damn about boxing

                Would it?

                IMO, GGG/JCC Jr would cost less and yield results just as good, if not better

                  Ward should fight Chavez Jr because it would be a low risk, high reward fight for him that would make him more popular. Maybe they could fight at the Astrodome.

                    I'm really not sure it would. More well known perhaps, but not in a "I want to see him fight again" kind of way.

                      mmmm I just think Ward is more established on HBO and if this was on PPV then it makes more money. I agree that GGG/Jr is less costly to make.
