      2-3 years

      Saunders, Canelo and whoever's the best at 168.

        Shame about the years wasted in Germany
        If he fights Saunders and Jacobs before Canelo he will be well past 36. I am not sure that he beats Canelo now but I guarantee that he doesn't at 36. I like your list but would prefer to shuffle the order: Canelo first, Saunders to get all the belts and a rematch with Jacobs for all the marbles.

              calling him a hypejob on what he's done so far is just your hate talking
              who did he fight that was note worthy besides jacobs

                Daniel Jacobs rematch, Billy Joe Saunders (can't tease that "my dream is to unify the division" bull**** and not deliver), Chris Eubank Jr, and Saul Alvarez.

                full-sized grown men, hitting/just hitting their physical primes and showing ability.

                The carefulness with how K2 has moved the man lets me think that they don't think he has more than another 2 really good years left; keeping to the pace that he's seemed to settle in on, you're looking at 5-6 fights.

                  Golovkin only fights one way; he stalks until he gets into that midrange, and only then does he fire anything.

                  Golovkin doesn't like fighting on the inside, Alvarez throws his shots in combination, and Alvarez comes with some pop too.

                  Need to see the betting line, but anyone who still thinks Golovkin just walks through Alvarez is kidding themselves.

                      Has there ever been a so-called superstar with a resume this weak at 35?
