Who at middleweight are more worthy opponents for GGG than Maklin Geale and now Murray?

Geale and Maklin are Golovkin's best opponents to date imo.Now he's fighting Murray next.To me the remainder of guys ggg has yet to face at 160 are arguably no better than these 3.You have Quillen and Cotto and i can't really say i rate these 2 any higher.Both have yet to achieve any thing at 160 that surpasses what Geale or Murray have done in the division

    The winner of the Matt Korobov-Andy Lee fight for the vacant WBO middleweight title would be a fine foe for GGG next year. Yes, GGG holds wins over both Korobov and Lee in the amateurs but that was many years ago and this is professional boxing where anything can happen.

    But I still fancy a fight with Peter Quillin. Quillin is tall, strong, brave and has Cuban ancestry Golovkin in the amateur was troubled and nearly beaten in two fights by Cuban Yordanis Despaigne who has a resemblance with Quillin.

    I think Erislandy Lara would also trouble GGG with his style of fighting. Ditto with Jermell Charlo and possibly Vanes Martirosyan.

    I have no illusions with the likes of aging Cotto, baby-fat Canelo Alvarez and the erratic Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.

    Miguel cotto only had 1 fight at middleweight but he beat Martinez. He is the lineal champion and he have a big following. That will be a big accomplishment if GGG put a future legend on his resume.

    Peter quilin is another good fighter because he is undefeated and a former champion.

    However, I don't know if they will fight him.

    Murray is the best opponent he can get. He should be a 2 time world champion and have an unbeaten record.

    Cotto has had one fight at middleweight against a woefully below par Martinez.

    Peter Quillin and maybe Danny Jacobs.
