But Soliman is mandatory and Mundine beat him at SMW not his preferred division of MW. Geale needs a belt IMO.
Fair enough but Sam ain't the best in World Geale SHOULD fight the best in the world with his talent , these trinkets are the problem , mandatory rankings can be bought by taking on soft options an the knock on effect means the champ has to also defend against the soft option which makes for **** fights in most cases .
Mate i agree. If i had Geale I would get Soliman out of the way. Then fight Macklin in the States on HBO. If he wins that fight the winner of Martinez V Chavez. A lot of ifs and buts. I think that is the route he should take. All the hype surrounding GGG whos he beat mate let him earn his shot.
GGG is one if the best out there just looking at him fight indicates that to me , just because he ain't playing the buy a mantatory ranking game does not effect my opinion of him .
..****ed if i know Josey..your askin' that wrong bloke.. ..I'm on here hopein' to learn something from you blokes..:good ..all I know is he is #1..goes to Germany wins and is still #1..should that not be enough?:deal
Everyone he's faced . Sure he needs to step up his level of comp and fighting Geale would be the ideal fight for both fighters as well as boxing , boxing and both fighters need this fight more than Sam v Geale . Harsh on Sam agreed but where does Geale draw the line , one , two , three defences v mandatorys ?
He was # 1 after he beat the Italian . I didn't think the Sturm fight had any bearing on the ranking but I might be wrong ****** . BTW good to see your mate back . :good
Agreed but Geale is just the chap to put a stop to all that crap by binning the IBF just like Calzaghe did after they wanted him to fight Robert Stiglitze after he became his ibf mantatory after Joe beat Kessler for the WBO , WBC & WBA titles .
..mate..I lose track..too confusin' for me :nut...but there's some good posters around here who's opinion i tend to follow on matters such as these.. ..anyway..I'm all for a fair go and Sam has done the hard yards...all I'm askin' is..'Gealey..form one Aussie to another..give the man his shot'.. ..and cheers Josey..your's is a informed opinion that i take on board too mate :good
