    I am not the one who really dotes over a perfect 0 record.. But it will boil down to this:
    1. Will Golovkin have more challenging fights at 168 ? - Yes, but he would come out victorious imo.
    2. Will Golovkin vs Ward finally happen for the fans sake ? - Hopefully, & I think Golovkin may very well get his first L here..

    I think Golovkin will retire on top his game irrespective of the outcome of #2.

        I think so too.. He is well conditioned to be in the sport until 40 easily..

          I think he's already leaving his prime. At 35 years old he's not the same he was at 30 or 31. Imagine at 38. Everyone will want to fight him when he's 37 or 38. That's when he's going to catch some defeats. If he faces Kovalev, Beterviev, or Ward he could also be defeated.

            I hope he stays in MW and keeps dominating it. Become the undisputed MW king. I'm not interested in seeing him go above his potential. His body frame is not big enough to go up in weight and fight toe to toe with the best fighters in those divisions.

              Historically speaking, it's highly unlikely he will.

                The most pathetic fan base in boxing history.

                  I don't see anything wrong with staying in the weight class people feel comfortable in and fighting the top fighters in said weight class. More so when your body is not made for a weight class above that(with dehydration and what not, 175 pounds after dehydration is too much for 5' 10 and his opponents will come at 180 lbs). As long as there are decent fighters in MW, I can watch him fight them. BJS, Eubank, Saunders, Lee, Canelo soon enough. All those fights itself would take 2 years or more to make. Why must a boxer go over the top when he is not physically in an advantage? I can understand it for fighters who are skinny and need to gain some muscle, not for GGG. He is a god in middleweight and I'd rather he stay a god until a new youngster come to dethrone him. I don't think he would do very good in 168 and would rather have him not lose his glory by putting himself in a disadvantage.

                    eventually he will get the big fights...and eventually he will lose...but is not a big deal for me...will be a big hit? yes, but that big....he is building a good fanbase..so that will help him.

                    I see him having 1 or two defeats against very good competition.

                      In boxing anyone is beatable. If GGG stays in the game too long he probably will get defeated. I remember seeing guys like Duran and Chavez Sr. fight back in the day thinking no one is ever going to beat them.
