    I really hope Geale gets the chance to fight the winner of Chavez MArtinez in his next fight...

    Golovkin v Proska is being show for free on mainevent channel Wednesday night

    Geale should try to fight the winner of Martinez v Chavez
    If he has to wait around I have no problem with him beating the crap out of Soliman in Australia as a tune up.

    heard somewhere geale has 20 days to reply to WBA for sanctioned bout with Golovkin, just watched a few bouts of Golovkin's very impressive would be a tough ask for any middleweight has a similar style to tyzu just taller lol , suggestion to geale= vacate or go down in weight or train ur arse of to have any chance, Golovkin aint worth the risk, dont know y the WBA didnt enforce the mandotory when sturm was the champion...now geale is ..he has 20 days.. bull****!

    Stylistically Geale v Soliman would be one very messy fight........Sam's awkward style makes anyone look bad & I'd rather not see it........Sam's got a great management team....always seems to be the number 1 contender for someone without too much fighting.

    If Geales a true champ he will fight Golovkin. If he ducks him and fights anyone other than the Martinez-Chavez Jr winner fans should be disappointed.

    He has inherited Sturms mandatory. Sturm has avoided him for ages. The WBA said ages ago that Sturm had to face him by that date. I think it's fair enough you can't make wait even longer just because someone else picked up the title. Geales people would of known this before they signed to face Sturm.

    So will Geale be stripped of the Super Wba title if he ducks Golovkin ? What happens to Geales IBF title if he refuses to fight the garbage "Gorilla" Soliman ?

    True. Impossible to do both. Sturm thought he could pick up Geales IBF belt and vacate so Geale probably made a pretty penny unifying and is going the safer option. Golovkin high risk low reward. Smart move.

    Yes I think so. If he refuses Soliman then yes I assume he would be stripped of his IBF title. Can't see that happening though.

    Golovkin was on HBO though in the States. Wouldn't HBO be keen to showcase a mega unification middleweight fight between Geale and Golovkin ? Surely Geale make more money fighting Golovkin than Soliman.

    This is poor for Geales camp imo. Why is he not at least calling out the Chavez-Martinez winner ?

    I don't know. Risk/reward he still wouldn't be a megastar though from 1 fight on HBO.
