Peter Quillin
Quillin may very well be Golovkin’s opponent this summer. HBO has to capitalize on GGG’s surge in popularity and having him knock out middle-tier fighters just isn’t going to suffice. With wins TKO wins over Gabriel Rosado and Fernando Guerrero, Quillin has made a stamp for himself in the middleweight division. Quillin’s hesitation would stem from fear of losing his undefeated record. Many fighters entire confidence lies on being undefeated (ex. Broner). Quillin will continue to headline fights as long as a zero remains in the loss column. A loss could effect his possibilities moving forward. The money from the fight would have to be enough for him to risk all of that.
