What should be next for Golovkin?

[Curt Henning]

He should retire to be honest. I had him winning, but unless he can get it up like he did last night, then he should call it quits.

Either take on Billy Joe or the loser of Jacobs-(Insert Russian Name here), if he decides to fight on.

I think he did enough to ensure his legacy and put him up there with Kelly Pavlik and Sergio Martinez

60 years from now people wont remember sergio or pavlik

[BillyBoxing]

wouldn't surprise me if he retires if he doesn't get a rematch.

He's coming up 37 so he's only getting worse, been on the end of two robberies in his biggest fights and there isn't enough big money fights out there, except the one he keeps being robbed in.

Let's say he moves up and beat 2 168 belt holders ala De Gale and Ucaz, his legacy will be sealed.

Looking at his performance last night, how this should be better without him?

This guy is classic warrior with skills.

Don't ask me, ask the people who was waiting for it. Let's just see, maybe it will get better without Golovkin, who knows

People will remember them because they are lineal. The same reason people remember the likes of Vito Anteufermo and Alan Minter.

Same thing with Danny Lopez. Golovkin was a good champ who reigned in a meh era.

I voted rematch but only if its immediate.

i thought DeGale vacated his belt? As far as i know, DeGale hasn't got a lot of interest in boxing anymore

He could move up, but it doesn't seem that there's any real payday at 168.

[Madison Boxing]

i could see him retiring to be honest or maybe a soft touch as a farewell fight. i can imagine mentally its gonna be hard for him to recover from not getting a decision in either fight

"golovkin was a good champ who reigned in a meh era"

basically...yeah

If he's only fighting for the money then he should rematch Nelo.

[The Big Dunn]

My guess is he goes to espn for the low risk, good money murata fight rather than rematch Jacobs or fight Charlo.
