    Im going to continue to stir the pot with the only subject that is very upsetting to certain cretins on here and With all this nonsense going around through social media and what not, and so many idiotic posters on this board trying to unleash their Fury, which fight would you prefer to see if GGG can't get Canelo back in the ring for chapter 2?...

    We got Murata who's best win in 14-15 fights is a guy who really never amounted to much despite being a regular champion of the WBA in i forget his damn name.. Anyways, hes a decent fighter but is relatively unknown here in the states and let's be honest here, isn't ready for the elite level of competition yet.


    Or...

    We got a young hungry American lion who was a former junior mw title holder who's naturally a big strong MW and earned his shot at the WBC strap by beating Sebastian Heiland who was mandatory challenger for over 2 years.. This guy is prime and I believe with his personality could make for some fun press confrences.. Now Im not saying Charlo can beat GGG, BUT I'd love to see that fight over a relatively unknown fighter with 14 pro fights any day of the week.

    Now Murata could get some more scalps on his resume and build his name a bit in the US like inoe is starting and in a years or 2s time build the interest in a fight with guys like GGG but until then, I have to go with a Charlo fight and I want that fight badly...

    Or would you prefer other fights over the two mentioned like, a Jacobs rematch, Billy Joe if he can beat lemule or derevechenko or whoever..

    Saunders first for undisputed, then whoever the imminent mandatory.
    To me Charlo is a smaller less experience Jacobs.
    GGG broke him down and drown him.

    This. Charlo would be competitive while GGG would run over Murata. Beating a shot N’Dam, who's taken a lot beatings doesn't prove much.

    Bigger fanbase, gold medalist, has the better MW win of the two.

    Either opponent is fine. Same with Derevyanchenko. Or Canelo. Even a Jacobs rematch should he look impressive vs Arias, but I would be upset with that considering the other options. Could even fight the Lem/BJS winner for a unification.

    Fan base? Interesting, nobody I know even know who Murata is and it has to do with his exposure he hasn't gotten in the US as of yet.. Now a lot more people know inoe because he's had that US exposure while Charlo is well known here in the states, so I got to disagree with you on that.

    America isn't the entire world bro. Murata is HUGE in Japan. His fanbase there is bigger than Jermall's is in America by a WIDE margin.

    Here in the US bro is where you become mainstream.. If you don't appeal to the American audiences then you don't have a big fanbase.

    That makes absolutely no sense. If someone has a following over 2 million people worldwide but only 100 are in America and another guy has a following of 100k people and 90k are in America, the guy with 2 million still has the bigger worldwide following. This matters a LOT especially since it was mentioned that Golovkin was interested in fighting in Japan.
