Comments Thread For: Gennady Golovkin Yearns For More Activity, Four Fights in 2017

[GMAN SUPREME]

He appears to have the option of a big fight in Kazakhstan in June in a stadium, but that probably depends if he takes any damage or not in March.

no problem! I doubt jacobs lasts more than 3 rounds.

[Randall Cunning]

March, NY - Danny Jacobs

June, Astana - Tureano Johnson/Sergey Derevyanchenko

Sept, LV/TX/LND - Canelo/Rameriz/Saunders

December, - winner of WBC tournament

Don't think he'd move up after unifying? Rest looks good

[Travycat]

He's a lot of fun to watch. Hope they can make some good fights with him in 2017 and a lot of these guys stop trying to wait him out age wise.

[PunchyPotorff]

Unless he either moves up to SMH or fights some cans along with contenders, no way he can keep up 3-4 fights a year for long.

Maybe. They've always said they'd move up for a 'one-off' if it was a big money fight.

I just think if Canelo fights Chavez in May, there's a good chance of a rematch for September. Unlike Canelo/Cotto, Canelo/Julio should offer good action and sell comparably.

[Robbie Barrett]

Take the 15 mil and fight Canelo, nobody cares about you fighting bums in Kazakhstan.

The good news about Canelo becoming the WBO mandatory is that it makes a fight with Saunders more likely in May.

Some big roadblocks to that happening, but if it did, then the Canelo/GGG fight would be for all the belts.

After unifying, for sure he would move up. Also got a feeling that if Saunders won't release the belt (by not fighting anyone meaningful) and the WBO keep allowing him to do that, then GGG would just have to give up on unification and would likely make the jump to 168 anyway if the WBO lets Saunders continue holding the belt.

[Nomadic]

If he wins all the fights he wants next year, he's an early candidate for fighter of the year.

After Jacobs, it depends on his next 3 opponents.

[Robi13]

Time is running out on ggg. He needs the Canelo fight. 15 mil will not be offered to him by any other fighter, more so, nobody offers the cash cow king of boxing and star label like Canelo does which is the real prize!

[Lou Cipher]

Gonna be difficult to find 4 fighters that want to get it at all let alone this coming year. Most fighters will coward off to higher weight classes rather than take a beat down by GGG. Like that steroid cheating wet nurse Android coWardrolene.
