Cause those seem like GGG likely opponents... GGg gets hyped as one of the best boxers but has a poor resume for 32
You can rest assured that GGG wants Geale rather than Fletcher. imm certain he'd rather have Saunders even. GGG aint afraid of Martinez, Quillin, Murray, Geale, Sturm and Lemieux. Im sure he'd be far happier putting their lights out rather than putting Adamas or Fletchers out. Jose Uzcategui vs Korobov should give GGG a worthy opponent. At least those two are stepping up to earn their shot at a title, rather than continuing to fight blown up LWWs like Cotto and Euro level opportunists like Macklin, Murray, Sturm are.
Adama shouldnt get so much hate. He had never been stopped, had a solid record and fought a competitive fight for title previously and came to fight. Fletcher is all WBA insanity. I actually think the WBA must have something against GGG.. when they let Sturm duck him for 2 years in a row they must have taken a disliking to Team GGG always pressing for the fight or something. If the WBA was legit, they would have waited until after the Uzcategui vs Korobov bout to order a mandatory. What gets me is the story here should be the WBA. How does a guy who got stopped by a prospect a year and a half ago get to be #2 and mandatory by beating Bursak? Seriously. How can the WBA begin to justify that?
Bursak and Fletcher are both solid top 20 MWs.... problem is, neither of them are top 10s. While the Bursak win was defo solid, and worthy or garnering a steam behind Fletcher, or vice versa, neither has been able to show they were top MWs. Yeah, the UZ vs Korobov fight should be a semi final eliminator, with the winner fighting Fletcher for the mandate. IMO anyways.:think
Yeah pretty much. UZ v K winner, or UZ v K v Fletcher would be fine. I'd be fine with bypassing Fletcher, Fletcher needs to get passed a guy who can bang a little IMO to show the BJS bout was an anomaly. I'm not against sanctioning bodies ordering mandatories with relatively unknown guys. Guys who havent gotten a shot at belt/money but perform in the sport should get a shot. The problem with Fletcher is his fragility. Eggshell jaw with no "punchers chance" vs GGG. Hmm... noone wants to see that, and noone should.. including the WBA. :conf
Yup......maybe if K2 pays Fletcher some step aside $$$ and invites him to Monte Carlo for one the Million $$$$ challenge tournaments, perhaps he will "PROVE" his worthiness. Hell, worked for Edwin Rodriguez to get a shot at Ward......If Fletcher beat Adama and Korobov/UZ winner, he'd be a millionaire and worthy of a cash out fight vs GGG.
VS Lemiuex in Canada...... Maybe that could be a big enough fight to entice him away from his 300K payday. IDK......What K2 does, it's gonna need to involve giving him options. Even if it's easy fights or a tailor made tournament. One way or another, GGG is gonna have to deal with Fletcher......either financially or by KO.
