    About 2 weeks ago I've also noticed, here, that IBF and WBO didn't even hear about this Golovkin guy...

        Why are we playing guess over a bunch of national level fighters? This is sad.

          Canelo ans Golovkin aren't the same type of fighter. Not that I'd favor Lara either. I wouldnt. It would just be a different fight.

            Does it really matter? None of those guys are considered legit threats to GGG. Nothing to see here...

              You can't be ranked by the other sanctioning bodies when you are already world champion.

                He's not getting that 160 even if he gets Lee/Sanders, Lemeiux/N'Dam, Canelo, or Cotto
                If he moves to 168 for his next fight, it won't be for any titles.
                Anthony Dirrell v Badou Jack for the WBC
                Ward v Froch has been ordered by the WBA even though Froch is waiting on Chavez Jr and Ward has been talking tune ups
                DeGale vs Andre Dirrell for the vacant IBF in April
                Abraham vs Stieglitz 4 has been ordered by the WBO
                Even the WBA paper title at 168 is out of the question as Sturm(who wants no part of GGG) is fighting Fedor Chudinov.
                So it's move up and fight some dude at 168 who you probably never heard of and then dump that extra weight for his next fight at 160. That would be brilliant lol

                  I wouldn't mind the Johnson fight, he's a bit sloppy, but I'll watch, saw him live against Stevens, fight was fun to watch.

                    Or GGG could fight some TOP 20 guy at 168 and come into the fight at the 160 pound limit.
