    Two names that would have catapulted his resume above those of all but maybe one other middleweight. (assuming he knocked both out, which is what many believe would have happened)

    I agree with all this. :good

    Didn't score it for Geale but can't begrudge him the glory; he made the fight in most rounds and has been on a mostly tough schedule the last few years overachieving like crazy on will and elbow grease.

    I wasn't impressed with Geale. Sturm didn't seem to have the gas in the tank to up his work rate a little. That is all it would have took to get the nod.

    Golovkin and Pirog would give Geale a beating.

    Except that he was knocked the fvck out by Sven "can't crack an egg" Ottke.

    And no, this was one the few Ottke bouts where there was no controversy about the result:

    EDIT: nevermind. I shouldn't post when I'm drunk. Somehow I got the impression that you were trying to suggest that Mundine should have been undefeated, not Geale.

    But i agree that Geale's resume is better than Golovkin, both got their greatest W yesterday
