    Waluigi has some balls but he has no chance to beat GGG
    Good luck

    Rubio had a decent chance vs Cotto; vs. GGG not so much.

    TNBR ranks Rubio #9 on their top 10.

    It's on par with the fights against Stevens and Proksa.

    Not a horrible fight.

    Rubio is a tough dude. Not a bad scalp for GGG. Another top 10 opponent, coming right up.

    I don't know why anyone is rating "top 10 opponents" for golovkin
    he's made the fight because cotto is gunshy, and golovkin needs to start some verbal sparring if he wants that fight

    Really sad to see that everyone is STILL ducking GGG. I think we've come to expect this for 2 years now. Nothing has changed.

    But is Quillin really better than Rubio? I wouldn't say so. Quillin has looked pretty bad in his last two fights. And there isn't much left for GGG @ 160. Cotto won't fight him and Soliman is 40 and fighting Taylor next. Who else is there? I'd like to see him fight Lemieux but Lemieux is pretty unproven though exciting.

    Quillin is a sheltered hypejob. He's kept there for Canelo or PBF, when they will decide to move up and grab a mw title.
