    geale has hardly a prayer of winning. floyd will probably run or clinch sooner in the rematch but he still might get caught with something.

    I'd say Geale beating GGG. I give Geale absolutely no chance.

    Maidana beat him once, so it wouldn't really be a shock if he wins this time officially.

    Geale will be GGG's best opponent as a pro. Your comment above really makes GGG's resume look like ****.

    After Herrera, Molina, Fonfara, and Algieri, either won or did better than expected, I don't why everyone takes for granted they know the outcome of a match before it happens, Geale is a very intelligent boxer who has far more talent than people are giving him credit for, it wouldn't shock me in the least if Geale pulled out a close decision.

    Maidana did exactly what I thought he would the first time and could very well do the same thing the second, and might actually get credit for it.

    That's fair but that really isn't adding anything to this discussion. Which would surprise you more?

    Maidana stands a chance, even with Void's judges, referee, ring, gloves, etc. Will Void require Maidana to wear 24 oz. gloves?

    Golovkin will murder Geale.........................

    If all four of these fighters retired, Mayweather would be known as a legend while Golovkin would be a "what if" who would be slotted in a ranking of the era's MW's just one spot above Geale. Maidana would be a quality but limited action fighter who was in the top 10 for several years.

    The gap between Floyd and Maidana is far, far greater than that between Golovkin and Geale. Floyd losing to Maidana would be a much bigger surprise regardless of his age and the difficult style match up Maidana poses.

    Stupid comment! :nut

    So because Rigondeaux easily outclassed Donaire makes his resume look like ****? I'd also heavily favor Rigondeaux over Leo Santa Cruz; I guess that also means his current resume is **** too.

    GGG's just a level above anyone in the middleweight division. Tell me one fighter who you would favor over him in the middleweight division H2H? He's immensely talented.

    GGG fans are so ****y. When the best win on his resume is Stevens. I almost can't wait until he loses.
