    Monroe is not slick, if he was, he would not have had his ears boxed off by a guy with 16 losses. Monroe, as Freddie Roach said about Algeri; "doesn't box, he runs." Ouma was a pressure fighter until he fought Golovkin, and Adama...come on! About as slick as flypaper.

    Monroe Jr was WBA #2 at the time.
    He was the highest rated available challenger in WBA MW rankings.
    More importantly, he was able to fight on HBO.
    Network politics would've come into play with a Jacobs match up and Eubank Jr wasn't ready.
    Winner of Jacobs Quillin should in theory be the next in line to fight GGG.
    Again, why didn't Jacobs people lobby the WBA to order this fight already?

    Im talking about ACTUAL top 10, not some laughable trinket dispensers rankings.

    If those rankings mean anything then Shannon Briggs and Fres Oquendo are top 10 HWs

    Based on what? Pirog?
    (did we have this discussion already? I'm deja vu-ing)

    I think Jacobs UD's Quillin. Close.

    What does Quillin's race have to do with anything? Nobody thinks Quillin can beat Golovkin or even mentions Quillin when discussing Golovkin.

    Ah, yes, that.

    It was a flash KD as he was trying to finish Mora. It happens. He was fine afterwards.
