    GG would eat both of them for breakfast, Geale dropped his newly won title after beating Sturm rather than face GG

    There's respect that goes with out saying. But you think that skill level was of a high standard for a world tittle fight

    The sport is doing well and will continue to do so. It's a matter of interest. If you're not liking it, it doesn't mean the sport is dying or in a terrible state. There are countless names out there and countless possible great fights.

    Geale was overrated because of his fights in Germany which were not really that great wins. No way he was NO 2 middleweight like many said. Overhyped and overrated. Geale did not want fight GGG. Curious if Barker wants.

    Just because Broner's power doesn't seem to have travelled up to 147 and he doesn't have a high output doesn't mean he's a journeyman lol

    Good fight but wasnt really world class.

    Just glad Sturm isnt hogging the title in drab set up fights.

    There's a possibility of great fight will we see them probably not. The product today is watered down. I still read this website every day like I have done for 2007.

    I just don't think that the fight last night was was worth of a world tittle but that's the days where in at the moment

    There was nothing that made me go wow you see that then in that fight
