    I get the feeling Whip that you honestly don't like Geale & wish to see him get beat very soon...........I can only feel that its because he has achieved more in his fight career than your fav fighter mandy & that you honestly were completely gutted he actually beat him in such manner......hence jumping on the GGG supporters wagon......when mandy was running his mouth never once did any of his supporters you included bring up GGG's name as a potential opponent.......I find that quite odd.

    This fight is akin to Geale stepping up to fight someone like Darren Barker and neither GGG or MM should be knocked fir it . What's the crac k with Soliman anyway has he proved his innocence yet after test A suggested otherwise ?

    Probably nothing, but pre Sylvester, no one was saying Geale would destroy Martinez and beat Ward.

    Geale was underrated then, and still is now.
    3G is overrated.

    Thougt Daniel would have grabbed the chance to get his belt of Golovkin if the Soliman fight fell through,I suppose the Macklin fight will be a good one but would much rather Golovkin V Geale.!!!!

    Agree with this

    BTW Geale struggles with Proska & Rosado even Ishida would take a few rounds from Geale...

    Geale can make all the " I want to fight the best " noise all he likes but until he has earnt himself and Shaw a decent amount of sausage he ain't fighting no GGG or the like , I wouldn't be surprised to see Mundine 3 if the Soliman fight falls through ( which it won't one way or another ) .

    There seems to be a fair bit of hate for Geale lately. Fighting Sturm, Slyvester, Karmazan and Mundine twice is pretty solid for someone who was a no name Australian a couple of years ago.

    Let's wait and see his next opponent

    Sound too much like commonsense to me.

    I don't think it's a question of hate Kel more a case of frustration as his fans want to see him busy , this crap with Soliman just adds to the frustration , it's obvious to anyone who knows a lick about boxing that Shaw & Geale will want to earn as much as they can with a few soft defenses ( I certainly don't begrudge the lad that either ) but all this we want to fight the best should be re worded as we want to fight the best eventually to avoid any confusion , all this slating of a busy guy like GGG is a tad shitty also , where in the world apart from Australia can a fighter cop crap for staying busy ?

    Right now he could have 2 belts instead of one, which would give him alot more bargining power to get a fight on with Martinez. He has taken one step forward and two steps backwards. I think its Geale who is over rated, his fans fail to see he didnt want to fight GGG because it was to much risk and wanted an easyer fight in Mundine which whilst it has earned him some money its cost him one belt, one that he never may win back again. Becoming a unifyed champ is alot bigger in terms of earnings than a fight with Mundine is worth.

    He's no less busy than Martinez and 3G (see below).
    That's crap Josey, what fighter doesn't claim they want to fight the best, but still have $$ as a primary interest?

    Geale got a genuine belt in 2011 and 2012.
    2013 is still young, he'll certainly fight a second time this year, and perhaps a 3rd.

    One of them may just be for another belt.
    Let's assume he does, that's 3 belts in 3 years, plus keep busy fights.
    Sounds ok to me.

    You (and others) seem to come down pretty hard on Geale for little reason.
    How is 3G busier than Geale or Martinez?

    All 3 fighters have had 2 fights per year since 2010.

    How many top tier fighters can you name today that fight more than twice a year?

    In any case, 3G is being slated because he is only fighting blown up JMW cans, not the amount.
    Come to think of it, who was slating him?

    The same can not be said for Geale.
