    Soliman would likely be the toughest fight out of the three as I see it.

    I think people underrate Geale because he dropped that decision to Barker. While he goofed a bit in that fight, it never really felt like he lost it to me. I think his strategy/thinking got thrown off, because Barker wasnt supposed to still be in front of him. That was Barkers Swan Song, he left most of himself in that ring to pull out that W.

    His fault for dropping the fight, but I'd favor Geale against any of the 154 guys that some people around here think would beasts at 160 like Lara or Andrade.

    I agree, Soliman is a tricky f#kker - stylistically he could be a tougher opponent for Golovkin.

    H2H I would probably pick Geale over Soliman - tough call though.

    Also agree on the Barker fight - combination of Barker giving it the fight of his life (quite possibly knowing it could be his last shot at a title) and Geale not getting it quite right. No disrespect to Barker, however, who's a very decent fighter in his own right - a single loss to a prime Maravilla puts him in some very decent company.

    GGG will KO Geale as Geale's chin is not capable of withstanding the Golovkin onslaught. He has been down too many times. Geale has shown improvement since then beating Mundine and Sturm but these guys are not in the same league as GGG. Geale will likely win a couple of rounds before being overrun by the relentless attack of the Golovkin express train.

    Geale and Soliman would be some good wins on GGG's resume. I don't think the big fights against Cotto, Canelo and Quillin have good chances to happen.

    I have a feeling that the WBC MW title will stay hostage in GBP/SHO stable for some good time.

    I think this fight will go the distance. Geale is a good boxer.

    Soliman beat prime Winky Wright.

    If the judges for the ALgeri Provo card woulda judged it Soliman would have won a 120-108 shutout over Wright.

    His akward style gives conventional fighters fits. Luckily, GGG has an iron chin and aggressive body attack, b/c without a body attack, there aint no slowing down Sam Soliman:deal
