    I'm not saying that he isn't a warrior. I just hope that he can make things interesting. I'm still waiting to see a rematch between him and Chavez Jr.

    It will be entertaining.

    Neither GGG nor Rubio will run and clinch like that little b

    tch Floyd, and neither will need a crooked home ref like Bayless to protect them.

    That's because Rubio and Golovkin are ring warriors, not chicken-hearted frauds like Floyd.

    Rubio won't land more than 3 clean punches.

    You've obviously never seen this guy fight. Rubio should be able to land that nasty right hand pretty consistently. The real question is whether it'll have enough sting to back GGG off when he needs to.

    Rubio likes to mix it up against average fighters only; he's no fool.
    I've seen him enough to predict he will come strictly to survive, like he did vs Pavlik.

    This is going to be kind of boring, for as long as it lasts.

    Rubio and Golovkin have got to be two of the most affable and likeable fighters in the sport. I'm rooting for Golovkin but I'm going to feel bad for Rubio if he takes a beating or gets blasted out early.

    I was fearing this senario. Rubio took this approach against Lemieux until late in the fifth when Lemieux started making mistakes. Mistakes that Golovkin will never make.

    Lol at those hoping for a punchout.

    Rubio has learned his lesson from Jantuah.

    He will come to pick up a paycheck, believe you me.

    Not punching back vs GGG is about the worst mistake you can make though. Letting him throw with impunity is a recipe for early stoppage.

    :yep Now your starting to catch on.
    Most likely GGG will win by late TKO or corner stoppage, but it could go the distance and if the happens GGG will still win, I like Rubio I've been a long time fan of his, As I was with Geale and Stevens I'm not a crazy fanboy who is obsessed with one fighter, I'm a big fan of the MW division and like many of the competitors who fight there, where as most GGG fans are newbies who have no idea WTF they are talking about when it comes to the division, all they can say is KO KO KO KO in a very Pavlovian manner. Because that's the only reason they even know about GGG.
