By Dan Ambrose: WBA middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin (26-0, 23 KO’s) has former WBC middleweight champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. (46-1-1, 32 KO’s) and Floyd Mayweather Jr. (44-0, 26 KO’s) high on his list for fighters that he wants to face in the near future. I’m sure Golovkin would take a fight against either if one of them were open to facing him.
Golovkin said this to esnewsporting when asked if he’d like to fight Chavez Jr., “Absolutely, why not? I want this fight. In the future I want to fight Mayweather. It’s my dream.”
The Mayweather fight is probably not ever going to happen because Golovkin is too strong and too heavy for Mayweather, even though Golovkin probably weighs less than Mayweather’s opponent for September 14th WBA/WBC junior middleweight champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez.
