Next step for GGG
Next step for GGG
Billy Joe Sanders,Eubank Jr or Canelo?
Re: Next step for GGG
Unfortunately it's not really up to Golovkin. It's up to whoever has the balls to actually step up to the plate and fight him.

Re: Next step for GGG
He'll end up fighting a scrub because Saunders, Eubank, Jacobs and Canelo want nothing to do with him and let's face it, other than Lemieux those are the major guys in the division.
Saunders will fight a bum like Max Bursak whilst ducking better opponents with the claim that "he'd gain nothing from the fight". Canelo will just ignore GGG and cherry pick another weak opponents, Jacobs will wait until GGG is tied down with a contract to face someone like Heiland or Andy Lee before running his mouth again and Eubank will keep mouthing off on twitter but when it comes down to it will dig up another British level title defence against someone like John Ryder.

Re: Next step for GGG
Eubank is yet to beat a fighter of note above domestic / fringe European level either. Instead of stepping up his level of opposition he's fighting another domestic level fighter next month
Re: Next step for GGG
Maybe Derevyanchenko?Who beat Soliman in IBF Eliminator.
Re: Next step for GGG
Good call. I forgot about this guy. He's a real prospect. Lot of strength in those massive shoulders. Teddy atlas was very impressed with him. That would be an awesome fight but won't get the views or money that those others fights mentioned would.Woldemar wrote:Maybe Derevyanchenko?Who beat Soliman in IBF Eliminator.
Re: Next step for GGG
Also Jacobs and Khytrov .

Alvarez has already ducked Golovkin & Eubank Jr could have been in that ring last night with GGG, but didn't fancy it, despite his ambitious tweeting.
Saunders might not duck Golovkin like the other two, but it all depends on the most lucrative option.

Re: Next step for GGG
I can see Al Haymon allowing Daniel Jacobs to face GGG in his next bout, because there seems to be a thawing in his frosty relationship with HBO, but there might be financial issues that may prevent this decent match-up.
Perhaps Haymon may make a goodwill gesture in the hope that he can eventually persuade HBO to be included amongst the existing set of networks televising his PBC shows?

Re: Next step for GGG
Jacobs if WBA orders and pushes it. Otherwise Saunders. Canelo will keep hiding at least until next September.
Re: Next step for GGG
bring on the Jacobs fight before end of year, he is pretty dangerous boxer. Take last belt from Saunders in may and he can be undisputed middleweight champ, that will be hell of a achievment. Set up megafight with Alvarez for september. If he can handle these 3, retire as a millionaire and ATG.

Re: Next step for GGG
..according to WBA it's Jacobs..

Re: Next step for GGG
I think Canelo and Oscar will have been heartened by what they saw last night and will be much more likely to make the GGG fight than was previously thought
Re: Next step for GGG
I'd like him to beat up canelo

Re: Next step for GGG
GGG likes collecting the belts. All your belts belong to ggg tour is in full action. So I think the ggg team will look to sign a fight against BJS for the WBO belt.

Re: Next step for GGG
I don't want to see Canelo vs GGG anymore. I'm done entertaining the thought of this fight ever happening. I hope canelo loses his next fight.
Re: Next step for GGG
Win the WBO title so all the MWs have to go through him to get a shot at a legit 160 belt.
Maybe BJS has more confidence in light of how many people are going on about Brook doing well.

Sorry, beating up a 154 lb money making pop star doesn't make you an ATG.
Just as a matter of the era he's in, GGG is going to have to go up to prove ATG status.
Unfortuneately, he passed on Froch and Ward. Those are the fights that would have led to ATG status.
Jacobs, BJS, Canelo ...

He didn't pass on Froch. Team GGG were offering him all the concessions, Froch was having none of it and retired.
