should geale look at belts or money

Stuff Mundine, Geale is better than that. We all saw the fight was very competitive and I do not think avenging the loss is really necessary to establish a great legacy. Geale has moved on and up, Mundine has farted around with Garth, and has along way to go to reeastablish himself at the top, and be deserving of title shot.
Sylvester wants another crack and surely they could make just as much doing that. Sylvester migth actually put in an effort.
If he does rematch Choc, let him have a crack, but not for the belt.

 

He should rematch mundine. Its the fight people want to see the first one was a super fight and geale will want redemption . He can have his cake and eat as well , Then look to unify .
Geale v Mundine 2 must happen IMO , the experts will say a easy night for geale but I think it will be another great fight and very close.:bbb

 

Totally agree

 

As I've said in another thread, a rematch with Anthony would give Geale a high profile, winnable fight for good money and the opportunity to avenge his lone defeat.

 

That's actually a tough call from someone not in Geales position.

However, looking at it from how I do things, and what sort of a character Geale is, I'd lean towards not fighting Mandy.

Firstly, because like you pointed out, the prestige, honour, etc, is a really nice thing to have. Unification would mean pretty serious dollars anyway, just a little later.

Secondly, the problem with the Mandy rematch is that Mandy has faded so much since that fight, and he has also been clocked by Wood. The sting has been taken from beating Mandy since then, and I don't see a lot of achievement in beating him today. If Mandy were still at the top of his game, it would be a definite yes to a rematch.

There is no question that Mandy is a good draw for money, but it isn't worth it for anything else. The rematch needed to be within 6 months to be worthwhile IMO.

Lets face it, if Geale were to make it to the very top, ranked number 1, unify the belts, he'd likely have more money than Mandy could ever give him anyway.

The more I think about this, the more I am swayed towards this view. Another good reason is because to fight Mandy would now be giving the ***** what he wants. And I would expect most feel it's exactly what he doesn't deserve.
From here, Mandys pay days will get smaller, his days are numbered, and if Geale fights him again, it would just provide Mandy another decent pay day. As much as Mandy is a draw, Geales name will provide much of that draw.

I still maintain Geale won the first fight anyhow, so he has nothing to prove against the turd. :deal

 

It was the fight people wanted to see a year and a half ago, when it SHOULD have happened.

Not sure it's the fight people want to see now.


Money will probably BUY Mundine a crack at the title Geale did the hard yards EARNING in Germany though.

 

Logical he goes for Mundine cause everyone here says he will win and get alot of money.

 

I understand what your saying and if Geale goes on to unify and become our greatest champ he will always have a loss against Mundine. It will actually give Mundine some credit as he beat the champ.
I think because of he's loss and how much people are saying he has dropped geale's team will think its a easy night and great payday .
He has plenty of time to unify and doesn't need to go all out asap as a loss would be costly IMO

 

:deal

Come to Daddy (Mundine) Geale

 

I agree. If considering risk v reward, Mundine is low risk (everyone says that he has slipped considerably) and is the biggest payday. And his resume would look better having avenged a defeat. Maybe Mundine doesn't deserve it after reneging on their rematch, but it is in Geale's interest to have this fight next. Non-title over 10 rounds is what I'd like to see.

Not interested in seeing him rematch Sylvester. As for the other titles, the WBA is a shambles with 3 champs. What's the point in fighting Golovkin or N'Jikam when Sturm's the Super champ. He shouldn't have to go back to Germany for a Sturm fight and it would be highly unlikely that Sturm would leave Germany to fight Geale. Pirog doesn't bring enough to the table other than the WBO belt. The WBC title may be worth looking at if Chavez Jnr beats Zbik as it would be a winnable fight and would get him decent exposure in the States.

 

somewhat agree.. i dont think its gonna hurt his legacy in he does go on to unify n still hasn't avenged his loss to Choc but i dont see why its a bad fight. I doubt Choc beats him these days, it'd do a lot to help bring him more into the main stream media, will be final nail in Choc's coffin and will hopefully sway a lot of Choc's fan's to him.

Plus to the general public (at least in my experience) Choc still is the Black Superman he claims to be. Just about every one i speak to thats a casual fan believe's Garth landed a fluke hail mary once in a lifetime punch against Choc.

So Geale's stock would only increase in Austalia from a rematch with Choc.

agree on him not havin to go and unify straight away. he can squeeze in a soft defence first.

 

Martinez is the WBC champ isn't he? or is he the WBC rose gold plated champion or some such?
