    I really hope GGG wins all 4 belts before moving up.

    True, But the money can become obscene by GGG doing exactly what he is doing. Keep staying active and keep generating new/more fans.

    This.

    Canelo is a true man, he'll fight any one, any time, any where unlike Fraud Mayweather jr.

    Chavez fought prime Rubio, a good fighter. GGG fought a fattened, then weight-drained version of Rubio. This win means nothing.

    Why couldn't the fearsome punchers Pavlik and Lemieux do that to Rubio? Both of those boys were/are certified KO machines.

    Question I have... Does GGG get the opporunity to unify let alone become undisputed at middleweight? If canelo/Cottos in May then earliest unification is 2015 and unfortunatly I dont see him getting a shot at ibf champ any time in next few years... Hoping my thinking is incorrect on this...

    Unfortunately, I think anyone who does legitimately want to fight him, will do it to cash a check like Rubio tonight. He'll probably fight more Rubio's because of it. That power is legitimate, and everybody knows it. They don't want any, unless "the money is right, and makes good business sense."

    Ward needs to be next. GGG can beat Cotto and Canelo in the same night.

    Enjoyed tonight's fisticuffs.

    Walters win was impressive and GGG never seems to fail to impress.

    Hopkins at 50 years old has MORE BALLS then Fraud Mayweather jr.

    Love or hate Hopkins, he never runs from the toughest guys out there or ask for extra testing or impose stupid rules on what gloves they have to wear or the biggest ring possible.

    GGG needs to keep fighting 3-4 times a year.

    Hopkins is probably the only fighter around today who would have survived and been successful in any era.

    I'm not a fan of Hopkins but you have to respect what he has done and what he does.
