Golovkin Should Move Up After Canelo. He can Unify at SMW

[TonyGe]

He should unify and then consider his options. If he can comfortably make 160 there's no reason to move up. He won't do well at SM this late in his career.

[juandabomb]

groves fight is the bigger money maker

[j0zef]

Yawn, hell no. Unify MW, possibly break records, establish his dominance. SMW is such a horrid division, there's nothing there. Only reason for him to go there is to be able to say that he's a "2 weight champion", and we don't need another Adrien Broner.

[Raonic]

Would like to see him unify 160 first. I would also like to see him rematch Jacobs. In a perfect world, Jacobs vs Saunders happens in the summer then GGG vs Jacobs in the fall for the unification fight. So GGG isn't wasting his time on Saunders.

In the "real" world, Saunders definitely beats every middleweight aside from GGG and Canelo - and I am not saying he doesn't have the best chance of any middleweight of beating them.

The man is blessed with mad skills and now, finally has the fitness and discipline to fully exploit them. He made a complete mockery of David Lemieux, after loads of people on here and other forum posts said Billy Joe would be knocked out.

Well, let's finally see how good and true to his word GGG is, by taking care of business against Alvarez in May and then putting his belts up against BJS in a winner-takes-all-the-titles contest, later in the year. Jacobs has already had his shot and needs to earn that right, once more. If people think he walks over Billy Joe, all I've got to say is "don't be silly."

If Billy Joe beats Jacobs especially by KO either of which I don't think would happen. A Golovkin vs Saunders fight would be huge in England. Big money for both guys.

I would rather tripple stay at middle weight to unify all the belts whether it be jacobs or Saunders.
I would prefer it to be BJS.
Then have the re-match with Jacobs plus a Charlo fight then maybe re-tire.
I don't see him fighting much longer than the next cpl of years.

[Dr.Cool]

It wouldn't surprise me. G spent years at mw when it was completely dead. Rubio was a top contender. When he fought a Charlo on PBC everyone was crying how Rubio is a complete bum. Which is true. But he was one of G's top victories for a while.

G has had various opportunities to face top opposition and has almost always declined. Until he had to face Jacobs, and then it was finally time to face Canelo because if not, Charlo will be mandatory. Now there is Jacobs, Charlo, Andrade, and Saunders. But why fight them for legacy when he could move up to 168 and beat the sisters of the poor in that so-called division. Those domestic level UK fighters at 168 might not be world level, but the Brits do like them some boxing and can probably bring more $$$ than Andrade, Jacobs, and Charlo.

If G beats Canelo, he might fight Saunders. But win or lose, he isn't about to rematch Jacobs or fight Charlo or Andrade. Everyone knows this. Which I admit, it won't help him on scorecards. The powers that be in boxing like big events, big fights because they bring big money. Canelo has shown not just a willingness, but an eagerness to be in big fights against top competition. G has shown an ability to close deals in one day for Wade and for Brook and a failure to be in any big fight until he was 35 years old. So, yea the ABCs and hbo probably do want Canelo to win. They see more $$$ in the future if Canelo wins. I didn't even watch the first fight, so I don't have an opinion on the scores. I'm not going to watch the rematch either. I don't like either G or Canelo.

[yankees7448]

he wont even unify at 160, he is losing on cinco de mayo...
but maybe 168 is safer now that ward is no longer there..

Ward hasn't been a super middleweight since 2013.

[yankees7448]

Honestly.

Truax LMAO

Deminished Degale?

Callum SMith?

Groves?

I think it wouldn't be a bad decision. Beat Canelo in the rematch. Unify titles by beating Billy Joe Saunders. He should have broken the consecutive defenses record by then. If not make whatever mandatory defenses need to be made and then move up in 2019.
