Who will GGG fight next?

[PK3434]

I think he fights Lemieux in September in Canada or LA and Lee in December in new york or Ireland.

[Barcham]

I'd be happy with Vera and/or Heiland, whilst he waits for Cotto to vacate, though I fail to see why he doesn't move up to Super Middle to challenge himself.

So give us some names at SMW who are ready, willing and available to fight him next. I'll settle for that while once again reminding you that GGG's main objective is to unify all titles at MW.

[NEETzsche]

i think andy lee and jorge heiland will be his last two opponents of 2015. there's a chance that a heiland fight in q4 could be for a vacant wbc strap, but i doubt it. maybe if cotto does manage to hold on to his wbc belt heiland will be scratched in favour of tureano johnson or (boxing gods willing) erislandy lara.

lemieux was signed by golden boy presumably as an alvarez opponent, so if he beats n'jikam, which you'd expect, the ibf will out of gennady's grasp until the canelo show-down, whenever that happens. if n'jikam pulls off the upset, i don't think there are any political obstructions to a golovkin unification, but he has avoided triple g in the past and may do it again.

let's just hope haymon doesn't swoop in and outbid k2 for andy lee.

[NEETzsche]

I'm betting it'll be Andy Lee. Loeffler said they were putting together a big financial package to entice Lee to fight Golovkin next in Ireland and then Lee suddenly gets an elbow injury where he can't fight Saunders, then Saunders/Eubank gets made for the interim WBO.

hasn't saunders-eubank ii already been finalised? that should free up andy lee for a golovkin unification or quillin rematch in q3

[Barcham]

People should stop bringing Lara into a Golovkin discussion until he leaves Haymon and moves to middleweight because that is the only way that fight is ever happening. Not that I can understand who wants to watch Lara fight anyone at all for that matter.

As for Lee, Quillin had his chance and he blew it. That was the dullest middleweight fight I have seen in years. I cannot see Lee giving Quillin another shot, and Quillin has done nothing to deserve it in any case.

I could see a Lemieux or a Lee unification fight with GGG before the end of this year. There should also be a WBC title fight for Golovkin once Cotto vacates or is stripped. I cannot see Canelo fighting Lemieux at this point. Way too dangerous for his career.

[Weebler I]

Golovkin v Lee for 3 titles at MSG.

then Golovkin v Lemieux for 4 titles at the Bell Center.

a fight against Heiland in Monaco in January

then a winner takes all clash with Canelo for 5 titles next May.

andy lee will probably feel he stands a much better chance at beating quillin than he does golovkin, and if al haymon decides that he really wants the rematch, he can afford to outbid k2. it would suck, but it's a possibility. i think he may prioritise quillin-jacobs instead, however, which would allow k2 to secure the lee unification uncontested.

eh, i think you are underestimating canelo and gbp. gbp were always less inclined to protect their fighters than top rank are, and canelo seems eager enough to challenge himself. gbp wouldn't have signed lemieux if they didn't intend to put him in fights.

[ИATAS]

Andy Lee for a unification most likely since Cotto is a ***** (hopefully he'll be stripped of his belt for being such a coward).

Right now I cannot even see a Quillin fight being sanctioned by the WBO seeing as how they are currently part of the lawsuit against Haymon. I doubt Haymon would want to pay sanctioning fees to fight for their title at this point either. Quillin may not even fight at MW again as he could not make weight last time. Too many uncertainties surround a possible Lee - Quillin rematch, not the least of which is who would want to watch another snore fest?

Oscar has already said that Canelo - Golovkin is a fight for a year or two down the line. He is too smart to put Canelo in the ring against GGG at this point only to see Canelo's career get sidetracked by him getting KTFO. He was gassed after three rounds with Kirkland and GGG throws triple the amount of punches that Kirkland did. Canelo is not even close to being ready for Golovkin.
