    Hope they come to their senses and find (don’t have to look far) a better option.

    Sosa fought Gamboa on a few weeks notice last year after his original opponent got injured. If Sosa could get a good replacement , then so can Golvkin and its not not GGG is without better options.

    Hell , Spike isn't all that much better than Johann Duhaupas who Povetkin fought on short notice , but he had only 24 hours to find an opponent .. GGG has 4 weeks :shakehead:

    I'm done being pissed about this, and I was actually annoyed for a minute there. Time to get back to my business, the same way Golovkin is going on about his business making the most money with the least amount of risk. I'll say this though, if its Spike and its on PPV, I hope it absolutely craters. And I mean like 50k sales

    To be honest, if GGG and BJS get it on at any point in 2018, I don’t care who else GGG fights this calendar.

    Sure it would have been nice to see the Canelo rematch (I guess), but the real MW fight is the unification of all 4 titles.

    Whether it’s June or in the fall, as long as they fight this year, I’m happy.

    Canelo ruined his chance.

    GGG's boyish looks will get destroyed by the waxed mustache of Spike. No chance at all.

    yes, its all Golovkin's fault, he should beat people who haven't even offered any contract signing or officially stepped in to fight him. Lets all believe the twitter talk.

    Why do you have two untested bums as your avatar?

    Why wouldn’t GGG just go ahead and fight a mandatory and get that out of the way?

    O’Sullivan and the Irish fans bringing much more money than the mandatories. That’s why Canelo wanted to fight with him in September instead of Jacobs, Saunders etc.
    And after the two 12 round fights Golovkin needs a K.O. and no risk because maybe the Canelo rematch can happen next in September
    Or if it’s a very easy fight he can unify against Saunders in July and then rematch with Canelo in September
