    Gennady Golovkin next Opponent

    In no particular order " GGG" should fight one of these guys. They are 168 to 175 pound fighters which should be no issue for GGG to make the weight. Tonight he blew up to 170 pounds (fight night). I don't care to see him fight a smaller Canelo, Cotto or Floyd. These are all 147-154 pound fighters. Out of the 9 guys on my list I think they all beat him. what do you guys think?

    Anthony Dirrell
    Andre Ward
    Carl Froch
    Arthur Abraham
    Mikkel Kessler
    Sergey Kovalev
    Adonis Stevenson
    Bernard Hopkins
    Jean Pascal

    Golovkin doesn't belong at 168. Only guy I like him to fight there is Froch because he walks around just north of the weight and not a big SMW.

      He blows up 10lbs meanwhile Guys like crawford,garcia, and pederson are weighin 155 at fight night fighting at 35-40. Does that mean crawford should be fighting guys like kirkland or alvarez?

            If you can make the weight then it's your weight class if you want it. End of story.

            He has plenty of fights to take at middleweight yet.

              Let's not pretend it isn't common for guys to balloon up far more than 10 pounds above their weight class post hydration. Guys who fight at 175 are really 180-190 pounders. Golovkin has no business fighting a 190 pound Kovalev.

                  Man, Froch and Kessler want no parts of him and have stated such. Dirrell is going to get served by DeGeale, Hopkins won't fight him either. Ward is fighting Paul Smith doe, Stevenson is scared of his own shadow.

                  You seem like you are a little scared of GGG as well, what's the deal? Why does a 160 pounder need to fight guys at 168 and 175 all of a sudden? You wouldn't happen to be a big Floyd fan would you?

                    Curious, what did Floyd rehydrate to in the Pac fight?
