    what middleweight?

      They're not "probable" at all. Golden Boy were never going to throw Lemieux straight in with Golovkin and Eubank Jr is a kid

          Yep, that's my vote. I don't think Oscar will let Lemieux fight GGG next unfortunately though.

            What if GGG did what Kov (bellew) did and offered to fight either cotto or canelo for a 95/5 split. Maybe they'd be more inclined but I guess that isn't likely. That's why I said go to 168 and fight Chudinov.

            you know Lemeuix and GBP are not fighting GGG next.

              You don't think? We already know this. Oscar has confirmed. ****, most people with their heads screwed on knew before Lemieux even won the title.

              Tom Loeffler certainly would have known so Golovkin's next fight against a fisherman might as well have the tagline "but we tried to fight Lemieux doe"

              Lara wants the fight. They should actually try and make it for once. If not, Hopkins at 168 - I don't understand why GGG's team never talk about that fight. Hopkins still has a name.

                  Gennady Golovkin vs. Spike O'Sullivan is the fight to make in the middleweight division.

                      But he is absolutely right. GGG fans will tell you why the Lara and Ward fight can't get made for a week, then suggest Lemuiex next knowing ODH is on record as saying they are going in a different direction.

                      GGG can't get what he wants-that means no Lemuiex, Cotto, chavez jr., Canelo or Floyd next. Knowing that, what should he do instead:

                      Find a way to make Lara or ward, garbage MW stay busy or go to 168 and find a tough challenge?
