Best opponents for Golovkin

[Banko Villas]

Right now, his resume is horrible. Like, absolutely horrible, so bad that his fans should feel ashamed of even trying to cook up excuses for it. His 3 best wins are Brook, Murray and Lemieux. It's pathetic. Now, I do like Golovkin, though, so I think it would be fair to list the guys I want him to fight. If he beats any of these, they will become his signature win and his first good win:

- Saunders
- Jacobs
- Canelo
- Lara
- Sulecki
- Eubank
- DeGale
- Jack
- Ramirez
- Ward

These are 10 opponents who all would be his signature win if he defeated them. Some are from the weight below him, some are from his own weight, some are from the weight above him... Nevertheless, those are the absolutely best options for him and he should be able to make at least 3-5 of them fight him.

Dont fight welterweights
Dont fight people on house arrest
Don't fight Canadian's
And definitely don't fight former cancer victims
I don't know what the f is up with golovkin and his fans

[Robbie Barrett]

Canelo
Ward
Kovalev

A-Level fighters.

[NEETzsche]

Jacobs in March, N'Dam in Kazakhstan in early summer, Canelo in September

Or, if Canelo ducks again, the winner of DeGale vs. Jack instead

Edit: Just remembered that Callum Smith probably has first dibs on DeGale/Jack, so I guess Lara and Jermall would be my next priorities. Zurdo would need another good win before he was worth moving up for, imo

[gmc_rfc_06]

The only top level fights now are Canelo or guys at 168.

MW is terrible.

They didn't accept the $15million to fight Canelo, they have shown no real interest in fighting anywhere but 160 so other than Jacobs...there's nobody good.

[Simurgh]

Jacobs, Canelo, DeGale in that order.

[Mammoth]

Jermall Charlo

[Sparked_26]

getting that Jacobs fight over the line seems like it has been like pulling teeth. And that is not even a particularly interesting fight, IMO.

I don't have much faith in Golovkin's handlers tbh. They will probably move heaven and earth to get Saunders after Jacobs. Another fairly mediocre fight.

The only guy I am interested in him fight at 160 is Eubank Jr. And that really is based on a completely unsubstantiated believe that Eubank Jr is going to be the goods.

There are stone cold elite superstars that GGG could face fairly easily.

[VatoMulatto]

GGG is not moving up to 168 anytime soon so forget about those fighters. The best opponent at the moment is obviously Canelo but that fight won't happen so Jacobs is the fight we all want to see.

[Mammoth]

Darevyencheko, Lara, Saunders, Canelo, Charlo
