Who should Golovkin fight next?

[Larry the boss]

I'm in favor of GGG moving down to 154 to fight Mayweather for his title at that weight...

And I'm also in favor of Ward moving down to 160 to fight Golovkin for his title at that weight.

Isn't that fair?

Dawson moved down from 175 to fight Ward at 168. Ward is a pampered boxer who demands everything his own way.

So you want GGG to move down and fight a guy who has never weighed over 150 and who is in his 5th weight class??? but he cant move up 1 division to fight the lineal champion and p4p #2??? why the hell would Ward move down to fight for some paper titles? and Dawson called out Ward live on HBO and said he would move down to fight him......you are to openly biased..

Sergio Mora
Jermain Taylor
Matt Korobov
Sakio Bika/Anthony Dirrell
Robert Stieglitz/Arthur Abraham
Julio Cesar Chavez Jr
Carl Froch
Andre Ward

ward at 168 if he's willing.

LOL at your poll options for the ward fight. you're freaking scared of andre ward, aren't you tunney boo boo?

Guess he's not willing since one year of voluntary inactivity is coming up

[therealpugilist]

why should Ward move down when he is proven and is one of the best fighters in the sport, also a lineal champion....for what? trinkets?


GGG should do like the rest of the "avoided" fighters and move up....Aaron Pryor had to, others had to. He is no different. The weight class he is in is not as good as 168 and there are more lucrative opponents like Groves, DeGale, Dirrell Brothers, Froch, Abraham, winner of Steiglitz and Sturm


I think he fans didn't vote for a fight with Andre Ward in Oakland or a neutral place because they feel GGG cant beat Ward.
Why fight Mayweather who has never weighed over 150 and he would outweigh when by 20 pounds when you can fight almost his equivalent that is actually your size and is a lineal champion and pound for pound entrant.

If I could pick his next match-up, it'd definitely be Chavez @168. That would turn into a horror movie scene, with Chavez being the drunk dumb blond who gets chased before being disemboweled.

Golovkin is wiling to move down to 154 for Mayweather.

Ward said he'd fight Floyd at 160, why can't he do the same for Golovkin if he wants to fight him?

Why won't Ward move up to 175? He hasn't fought in many months.

Ward had Dawson move down to 168, a weight he hadn't fought at in many years.

So why can't Ward do the same and move down to 160?

I think he fans didn't vote for a fight with Andre Ward in Oakland or a neutral place because they feel GGG cant beat Ward

Of maybe they want it to be a FAIR FIGHT?

Mayweather is supposed to be the champ at 154, and Golovkin is willing to go down to 154 and fight him. So what the problem?

If GGG is willing to go down to 154, why can't Ward go down to 160? Ward said he'd go to 160 for a Mayweather fight.

Mayweather should vacate the 154 title if he doesn't want to fight at that weight.

Roberto Duran (who was smaller than Floyd and started at bantamweight) won a title at middleweight beating the much larger Iran Barkley.

Froch or Groves. Then onto the bigger fish.

This is the most likely scenario...he fights Murray early Feb. in Monte Carlo...then fights the Lee-Korobov winner around the time Canelo-Cotto fight...at that time GGG will hold 4 total belts with 1 being the WBC interim...so then in September he fights the winner of Cotto-Canelo for huge unification fight...then if he wins he can clean out the division by going after that final belt which will be the IBF in December 2015 or Jan 2016...then Cinco De Mayo 2016 he will move up to 168 and fight Chavez Jr...and then after that it will be Ward in the summer of 2016...that is my prediction...

This is perhaps the best plan GGG can follow. Come out and become undisputed middleweight champ in 2015. Move up from there and then take on the 168 pound division in 2016.

you are totally of base...Andre Ward is the undefeated Lineal super middleweight champion...Chad Dawson called out Ward and said he would move down don't change history for your own agenda...Dawson said he could make the weight and started out at 160 fought many times below 168 and filled out at 175.he should not move down a weight class to fight a fight who holds a trinket, isn't a lineal champion, and outside of us die hard boxing fans, no one even knows who he is....that would be a dumb move

If GGG is what you think he is, then why fight a guy who is in his 5th weight class and has never weighed 154 when he can fight Ward...Mayweather's scalp is good to have but a middleweight is suppose to beat a welterweight

As far as Ward Neutral meaning not in Oakland is fair, and like I said they want him to fight someone who he is favored to beat like a much smaller Cotto, and Mayweather who started below welterweight, Mayweather started weighing 128....Ward has fought between middleweight and 168 his whole career....that's more than fair.

168 is a better weight class....GGG aint fighting Mayweather....GGG might fight Cotto...but guys like Murray, and Sturm wont cut it especially if he wants to be considered a star....fights with Froch, Ward, Groves, DeGale are better and yoy all know it.

Who would you favor GGG or Ward if and when they fight? and why?

Do you really think GGG can make 154 when he weighed 172 fight night for his last fight and has not fought as a junior middleweight since 2008?

Everybody says they'd move down to fight Mayweather...Ward, Hopkins, GGG...its called prizefighting for a reason....them saying they would move down does not make it realistic
