    **** fight, but it doesn't really matter. If GGG knocks him out (very likely) his momentum will keep rising.

    Lets be real there are maybe 2-3 guys in the division that can put up a real challenge for him. If these fights cannot be made for whatever reasons, it doesn't really make a difference if he fights the number 5 ranked middleweight or the one ranked on 20, both will get knocked out

    it makes a big difference. no one wants to see the #2 middleweight take on the #20 middleweight...sorry...that logic fails

    Dont know if he would or wouldnt. But he isnt going to get those guys, Quillen fight will not be made and Dibella wants big money fights for sergio...he has earned it.

    Yea it prevents ring rust but it doesnt make him better. He's 31 with no significant fights and he better fighters are at 168.

    Contenders and other title holders are to blame for that.
    But i forgot, that's not true, no one is ducking him, he just chooses to fight lesser opposition... :patsch
    It could/should have been Murray who was offered 500 k but just like the others, he refused the fight.

    ...who is competing in eight days for a chance to get an IBF eliminator berth to meet either Sturm in a rematch or Barker, you mean? :nono

    The suspension was a) only in Germany and b) for 9 months, which it has been. (he fought Sturm in February)

    GGG is fighting another bum I'm so shocked. People like him is why boxing is dying. No excuse for taking this fight. He just wants easy pay days.

    Getting beat up by bigger guys and then having to come back down to 160 anyway isn't going to make him better either.

    Well, then that sucks. The guy is destined to come & gothrough the darkness of a shitty division, achieving not much more than a title or two due to his unwillingness/inability to move ^ in weight. Funny stuff...

    I'm a huge GGG fan but this is a crap fight, just pointless.

    Well, things are improving slightly.
    Last year he fought Nobuhiro Ishida in Monte Carlo, so Osumanu Adama is definitely a step up.
    I was of course hoping for Murray or Mora, but alas...

    So what are we calling this, another "showcase" fight? Adama is a third-tier guy and has no chance.
