    Yeh he getting his nose done lol its such a boxers nose.
    I think Andy Lee would have been a good name but its unknown if he will fight again and even if he does continue I doubt he would want a fight any time soon.
    Murray can't travel to UK and Chavez is banned.
    So either Quillin or Sturm make sense at this stage. That is unlikely though with Sturm not happy to travel and Quillin being an Al Haymon fighter.
    Maybe they should go after Rubio or try Pavlik?

    great, another fight i was really looking forward to has hit the skids.

    HBO seem to want to show **** at every turn. mismatch after mismatch.

    if this was on showtime, there wouldn't be this problem. oh well, i suppose we have the "super fight" between ward and pavlik to look forward to.

    if anyone thinks that is a super fight, then you're the audience that HBO are looking for... ****ing brain dead!

    GGG vs Rodriguez is a more marketable fight.

    I guess HBO is not accepting Oosthuizen vs GGG because Oosthuizen is not a "worthy" opponent, only to turn around and accept Oosthuizen vs Chavez Jr later on. :lol:

    good! this fight was a lose-lose situation for GGG, if he wins he gets no credit for beating a an unproven fighter if he loses all his hype is gone, there are many better fights out there.

    Good.
    Now GGG needs to fight the hype killer, white Chocolate Pirog.

    Either way its good, I prefer for GGG to stay at MW. HBO should be pushing for Pirog vs GGG since neither of them can get fights going. But I guess Pirog will come out "hurt" again during trainning camp. It must be frustrating for GGG as he can't get any fights, it reminds me of Sergio Martinez when he was at LMW and couldn't get any fights thus he had to move to MW to get them.

    As long as he fights a better fight, I'm fine with it.

    If he doesn't, than this really sucks.

    Didn't they deny Sergio fighting Zbik to keep his WBC middleweight title which miraculously ended up on the line with Zbik and Chavez Junior on HBO? :think **** you, HBO. In the arse. With a pineapple. A whole pineapple.

    Thank God Golovkin will not be fighting that guy. Much more interesting fights in the Jr MW and MW anyhow.
