By Dan Ambrose: WBA middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin (25-4, 18 KO’s) may never get a fight against WBC middleweight champion Sergio Martinez or WBO champion Peter Quillin due to their reluctance to get in the ring with him, but it’s possible that we could see a fight between Golovkin and former WBC middleweight champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. in the near future.
That’s the opponent that Golovkin’s promoter Tom Loeffler of K2 Promotions wants Golovkin to face, and he’s willing to have Golovkin move up in weight to the 168 lb. division to make the fight happen because Chavez Jr. obviously can’t make 160 lbs. anymore.
