Nobody wants to fight this guy. He will have to keep fighting other guys and hearing about it. Nobody will fight him at 160.

We know for certain that Cotto, Canelo and Froch don't want him. We know the same about Quillin and Jackobs. N'Dam will probably be available now but he lost his value. Let's see what Lemieux say. The same with Lee/Saunders winner after September. I suspect that they will want to fight somebody else, especially if Saunders wins.

3. Andrade

I ignored the no light middleweights thing, because too many of the options are absolute rubbish without them.

By nobody I mean not anyone like Quillan, Lee, Cotto, Alvarez. Any of the who's who.

He should fight fight Michel Soro. He's a good solid French Middleweight and the fight would do good in Monaco.
Soro just won the EBU MW Title yesterday.

After, fight winner of Canelo-Cotto.

Don't think it's a question of won't. Lee has a mandatory, Cotto and Alvarez are fighting each other. Quillan needs it more than the others. Are the politics possible to make that fight?

Lara and Bradley have publicly said they will fight him.....at 160! But still all we hear is no one will fight GGG.

Probably the funniest/dumbest statement regarding GGG was from Canelo, who said there was no competition or any threat for him to have reason to move to 160. He is probably right if he waits about 5 more years to move up.

People keep talking about Lara, but how Lara-GGG going to happen given the politics between HBO and Haymon? It's like it's a massive movey fight like May-Pac, so I don't think the two parties are anywhere near as likely to work something out.

Soro sprang to my mind too and I won't be surprised if he's the choice.

He won the EBU title over the weekend and I believe that often results in a boost with the major sanctioning bodies. With that type of win happening so recently I'd wait for the new set of rankings to come out.

I don' t think that French will like to watch one of their own brutally beaten. They would rather see Golockin dismantling a Brit, German, Russian, etc.

Cotto Lee and Quillin are viable. The rest are too vast mismatches.

Beyond that 3g needs to look to 168.

Nobody moves up when they can comfortably make weight in their own weight class unless there are significantly better options in the next weight class. At this time, Golovkin has very realistic Canelo and Lee options with a good chance of becoming an undisputed champion. Why would he move up to fight B level SMW champions ?

Don't worry, the fluffers always need something to cry about. Let em cry. Golovkin will keep winning, and much to their horror, he'll keep being exciting and producing knockouts. Fluffers hate that.

Canelo is gonna look teal bad if he doesn't take it.

I think it will be the Lee/BJS winner

There's no such thing as a sweepstakes for a guy who can only muster 97,000 buys on PPV.

You'd be better of formulating where lil g is on OTHER FOLKS sweepstakes hierarchy...

GGG may be the most fun champion to watch today.But fighting him is not a sweepstakes event.
High risk low reward for any middleweight.Most challengers can make the same money fighting
one of the other b-s champions.
