    Ward and Froch both beat him. Probably a few more guys as well...

      I see no great contests at 168. Sturm and Abraham ducked him in Germany and certainly will not try their luck now. Dirrell is with Haymon. Maybe Groves or DeGale if they manage to get a title. Ward is pointless at the moment, he is not ready by his own admission and before there is any money in that fight, Ward will have to do a cleaning at SMW. We know he won't fight the Dirrells because they are his 'brothers'. He most likely cannot fight Haymon fighters either. So the pool is small and the same one as GGG would target. That leaves little there.

      The best thing in my eyes would be for GGG to continue his cleanup at MW and for Ward to get his ass moving and clean up SMW to win all the titles there. Then we can have a true superfight between the undisputed, undefeated unified MW champion and the undisputed, undefeated, unified SMW champion. It would be a first and it would go down in history.

      The winner could eventually face off against Kovalev in another superfight of undefeated, undisputed, unified champions once Kovalev takes care of business at LHW.

      Yeah, it's a dream but it's one hell of a good one!
      Very nice. I pretty much agree with all of this though we probably don't agree on what the final outcome would be.

      I would add Lara to the list of fights that could be made at 160.

        There is no one in boxing right now that is a guarantee to beat GGG, he's that good but I think Ward might have the best chance followed by Degale, Froch or Direll who have a slim possibility to beat him. I wanna see how he takes on Monroe jr who is talented in his own right...maybe a chance for the underdog in this one.

          ggg is a great fighter, but I doubt he beats ward. I think he would hurt cotto though. In my opinion, I think cotto should fight this last fight and retire. These old champions are babysitting these titles. I believe they should start stepping aside and let these young guys compete with each other. Time for the new guys to step up now. Boxing is becoming boring watching the same old fighters, they are doing boxing no justice by hanging around, fighting bums.

            Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., Gilberto Ramirez, Marco Antonio Periban, and Rogelio Medina would all beat the s**t out of Golovkin, .

            Marco Antonio Rubio was drained at 160 so he'd probably beat the s**t out of Golovkin at 168 too.

              GGG with ZERO quality wins is a great fighter? Really?

                While I certainly give GGG hell over his "modest" resume, it's hard to imagine any of those guys beating him

                  Ward, Froch if he is still in good shape and mentally willing to still fight. Other than that no one else.

                    Ggg won't stay long at 160. He looks like a dead man at his weigh ins. Just like canelo looks like a dead man at 154 at the weight in.

                      Disagree, he never has to drop much weight:



                      "Gennady Golovkin being just 5 pounds over the limit 30 days"

                      "He weighed 161 on Monday, and he told me last month he could EASILY make 154"
