Quillin will probably lose his title to Korobov. Cotto will probably leave his title for grab by Rubio. Then Golovkin unifies all titles against Soliman, Korobov and Rubio and becomes undisputed, while still not laying his hands on any big name.Comment

GGG vs Cotto would look like cotto vs margarito 1 except there is no cheating. GGG would make the ink in Cotto's tattoos leak.Comment

My point was about Golovkin becoming undisputed champion in middleweight while still fighting sub-par not PPV-worthy opposition.
What bothers me, is that while he is occupied with title-unifications, other more interesting options as fight with Kessler, Froch, Chavez and Ward may be never realized, because all this guys will retire by the time GGG moves up, missing big fight opportunities. The super-middleweight is interesting now, but it will be empty division for a few years once current generation of fighters retire.Comment

If GGG Stays Away From Hollywood; He Can Follow In Marvin Hagler's Footsteps!!!
This guy is no nonsense, trains like an animal, appears to be a quiet, clean living, away from the limelight guy. He gets better with every fight, fights often, fears nobody, driven to unify his division, and hits like a f****** mule kicks, as Mike Tyson once described Razor Ruddock. Marvin Hagler dominated the division for years that same way. I'd love to see Gennady follow those footsteps, step that example to all the other belt holders in Boxing (I hesitate to call them all champions/many just hold belts). Even at welterweight you have three Champions in Mayweather, Pacquiao & Porter, all for the sake Floyd avoids fighting Manny. I'd love to see GGG clean that up in Middleweight. Then there is time to challenge Canelo & Ward. The sky is the limit for Gennady if he stays locked in, and avoids the celebrity scene. The legends before him fought the best of the best, in each's prime, to see who the best was. Leonard, Hagler, Hearns, Duran, Benitez, Pryor, Arguello.... They let money come secondary, and if you dominate, the money piles up just the same.Comment

He will be the big name, especially if he knocks them all out. All roads will then lead to Golovkin, HBO boxing's biggest star.
They're Super-Middleweights, Golovkin is an average sized middleweight. There's no need to move up.
Mayweather struggles with Maidana, he would get wreckt by Golovkin.Comment

That's Ward's problem, not Gennady's. GGG signed his paperwork for Chavez, and he balked, playing Mayweather's excuse: Arum was the problem. Nobody else had a problem working with Arum but Floyd & Chavez when they don't want to fight someone. So that's fine. Gennady has plenty at Middleweight to accomplish and that's credible. On the other hand Ward won't fight anyone but tomato cans. Let him call out Froch, Kessler, Chavez who are Wards weight class. Man up, Andre! Allow GGG to unify Middleweight, throw in Canelo who weighed 171 on fight night against Lara, so fighting GGG at 160 is no worries. Then if Ward grows a set to treat his division the same way and clean thru the names just mentioned, then in a year and a half you could have an epic Super Fight between a unified champion in GGG, and a unified Ward if it plays out that way.
This needs to happen anyway, because we have too many guys standing around each division holding a belt and they won't fight anyone! Danny Garcia & Lamont Peterson could have unified things, and they choose two unranked tomato cans named Salka & Santana; there's nothing credible about that. Floyd won't fight Manny, Marquez wouldn't fight Shawn Porter or Provodnikov... It's just disgusting. Would love to see GGG & Ward take care of business in their division, and stage an epic Super Fight like we saw regularly in the Golden Era of the 80's!Comment

Expect Cottoe to vacate.
Or better yet, Caneltoe to beat Cottoe at 155 for his belt and then promptly vacate it.Comment
