I think he will get there. After Lemieux, he is the WBC interim so that will have to happen eventually, whoever it may be. The WBO champ Andy Lee seems like he will fight anybody. So maybe he can get him next. Perhaps this time next year, GGG is "unified champ."Comment

Exactly. When there is one belt, the competition steps up much more nicely. There are exceptions, but the title fights should be the absolute cream of the crop and with so many belts, they usually are not. If GGG has all the belts, the division will get better because these guys coming up will have to fight one another which will mean that GGG gets real fights all the time which he will welcome. I only wish he was 23 years old.Comment

But that shows how great Hopkins is.
Hopkins unified, set a record for defenses in a better middleweight era against a higher level of opposition, AND he beat some elite fighters along the way.
Then he started on his great post-160 run.
Golovkin could beat his record for defences.Comment

Wouldn't be surprised, pretty sure he beats both if that fight gets made.
