    Same situation than Jacobs. They want millions and they bring no fans.

      Little G should come out of the closet and/or retire from boxing as a "never was".

        He needs to move down to 154 and fight Lara.
        Then he needs to move up to 175 and fight Ward.
        Then go back down and fight Canelo at 155.
        Then move back up and fight DeGale at 168.

        Until then he's a chump who never fought nobody.

          I really want to say both stay at 160 and wait for big names WHILE looking for some names at 168 and 154. Keep a middle ground so he can pick and choose from bother 154, 160, and 168.

            I would say stay at 160 and bring up the best 154 pounder he can to 160, sure he will take a slight ding in the credit for fighting a really good smaller man but at least it would be a really good smaller man. Plus some of those 154 pounders like the Charlos and Andrade are tall rangy dudes for 154 (more rangy than Golovkin), Lara is a bit shorter but has a long reach for his height (longer than Golovkin). So those guys from 154 should be able to hang and at least cause Golovkin some issues to solve.

            Obviously not ideal but beating a really good smaller man is better than beating a larger no-hoper. Plus this gives time for the rest of 160 to hopefully come up with better wins to raise their profile which needs to happen anyway and benefits Golovkin greatly.

              The goddamn plan should be to fight Eubank in September, Then Jacobs in January, BJS in May and Canelo in September.

              If GGG can get one just one ppv with 400k+ buys, then this is all possible. He needs to make these wimps believe that the pay is greater than the loss for them.

              He has the makeup of a great PPV star, KO power, great chin and fan friendly style.
