    Who should GGG fight to improve his resume?

    Cotto & Canelo are pipe dreams.

    I personally will be dissatisfied with anyone who's a lesser opponent than Daniel Jacobs, Andy Lee, Peter Quillin, winner of Hassan N'Dam N'Jikam vs David Lemieux, Fedor Chudinov, Felix Sturm, Badou Jack, winner of Andre Dirrell vs James DeGale, winner of Arthur Abraham vs Robert Stieglitz, Carl Froch, or Andre Ward.
    Good list with pretty much every relevant name on it. The Haymon factor makes a number of them unlikely (DJ, PQ, BJ, AD) and the German trio are all past their best IMO (and anyway do very well for themselves fighting each other in the Deutschland), but would make for decent fights at the higher weight. Froch and Ward would be the ideal ofc, but Froch looks on the verge of retirement and Ward has a little rebuilding to do before that fight looks likely...

    Sooo...... Fedor, Lee, NDNJ, Lemieux and DeGale: DeGale would be the toughest IMO and Fedor's still a little green, but they'd all make for decent fights. Any of the Germans would do as well, though I never really rated Stieglitz and following the Chudinov fight I dread to think what GGG would do to Sturm - AA would be the best bet IMO.

      GGG vs Cotto, GGG vs Canelo, GGG vs N'Dam or Lemiux, GGG vs Lee


      After he beats Cotto and Canelo, then he can take his first L at the hands of Andre Ward.

        Wrong question. The right question is "who would accept to fight Golovkin?"... You'll immediately find out that this one is more difficult to answer.

                      Man, you've listed a heck of a lot of SMWs and it is clear GGG isn't moving up.

                      Cotto and Canelo are very very unlikely for this year as you think so too.

                      I'd prefer if he fought Lee or the winner of Lemieux v N'jikam.
