Where's Golovkin going after Canelo rematch?

[Redd Foxx]

No bait. Just honestly want to get opinions on this. It's been hard to get a read on how long he's going to stick around, if there's still plans for 168. If he'll defend for a while at 160. Or, just retire.

What's his 2-year plan?
No wrong answers here.


Edit; tried to add a poll but shyt didn't take. Anyway, would have looked like this;
-Defend @ 160
-168
-Retire
-Money fight$

I honestly think he will retire a fight or two(maximum) after the canelo fight. Win lose or draw

[Simurgh]

If he wins, it will be Saunders for all the belts, then only big fights at either 160 or 168.
Potentially Eubank Jr, especially if he manages to win the super 6.

I don't see Jacobs rematch unless Jacobs fights and beats Canelo.

If he loses to Canelo, I think it will hard to come back. Maybe he will fight Saunders and seek the 3rd fight with Canelo.

[FinitoxDinamita]

He should move up

[Simurgh]

I don't see any amazing fights at 168 for Gennady. Maybe Eubank Jr if he builds his profile further.

[Randall Cunning]

If he beats Canelo, could see part 3 coming in September. Or WBO champion, 1 or 2 fights at 168. Then Ward comes out of retirement.

[ShoulderRoll]

Saunders at 160 and Eubank at 168 make sense because of the UK money. Gilberto Ramirez might be a PPV option as well.

Don't see him fighting Jacobs, Andrade, or Charlo if he can help it.

[TheCell8]

His path seems pretty obvious for 2018. Following the Canelo fight, he'll fight BJS for a unification in September. After that, who knows?

I doubt he'll keep fighting past 2018.

[Scary_canary]

If he gets Saunders he'll fight 1 more time, if he doesn't I have a feeling he might retire

Depends on the result IMO.
If he wins:
-Saunders unification.
-Jacobs rematch to clear up any doubt.
-Or possibly Canelo III if the result is close/controversial like the first fight.


If he loses:
-He could still fight Saunders for the WBO belt, possibly in a big Arena/Stadium fight in the UK.
Jacobs rematch although it loses a lot of value.
-A fight at 168 possibly although that division is a wasteland, no big names nor proven elite level fighters. The WBSS could hopefully change that though.
