    Acceptable Opponents For GGG

    Golovkin is 33 years old, and his notable wins are: Kassim Ouma, Matthew Macklin, Daniel Geale, Martin Murray.

    Who should GGG fight to improve his resume?

    Cotto & Canelo are pipe dreams.

    I personally will be dissatisfied with anyone who's a lesser opponent than Daniel Jacobs, Andy Lee, Peter Quillin, winner of Hassan N'Dam N'Jikam vs David Lemieux, Fedor Chudinov, Felix Sturm, Badou Jack, winner of Andre Dirrell vs James DeGale, winner of Arthur Abraham vs Robert Stieglitz, Carl Froch, or Andre Ward.

    If he really wants to unify, he should aim N'dam vs Lemieux winner or Andy Lee first. After that whoever he has to fight for the WBC belt (he's mandatory).

      hmm well Im pretty sure Lee will be Mayweathers final opponent. So he will not want to risk a fight in the meantime.

      Cotto, Quillin dont want that fight.

      Wouldnt be surprised if he fights the winner of Lemieux Ndam.

      Howbout Lamont Peterson wasnt he 160 in his last fight?

        my preferred fights would be in this order

        1) Cotto
        2) Canelo
        3) Lemieux
        4) Andy Lee
        5) Quillin

        let the dominoes fall where they fall

          How the heck would Lee be Mayweather's final opponent?

                  Looking at the rankings (viable):

                  154

                  Demetrius Andrade

                  160

                  Andy Lee
                  N'Dam-Lemieux winner

                  168

                  Carl Froch
                  Robert Stieglitz
                  Fedor Chudinov


                  OP you need to scratch all the Haymon fighters off your list.
