    Do they send you to prison in Czech Republic for complimenting a White fighter like they do if one questions the Holocaust?

    I agree that Mora is slightly better competition than Adama, but Mora doesn't fulfill a mandatory challenger credit. Champions do have to do those each year, you know?

    You act like boxers can just hop, skip, and jump around weight classes like weight classes don't matter. You do realize it's not easy to do that correctly, right? Especially with certain styles. Usually, when a fighter moves up, they stay there, too. GGG has unfinished business at 160, namely Sergio Martinez and the MW lineal crown, then I'd imagine he will move up to 168 shortly thereafter.

    Because Dirrell is persona non grata at HBO. Either of them. K2 has made a commitment to HBO. Its really as simple as that.

    If the Dirrells had been serious about calling out GGG and not just attention-seeking they would have done it BEFORE the Monaco fight was settled, when K2 was publicly looking for opponents not AFTER the one fight a year GGG could take vs a non-HBO friendly opponent.

    Dirrells get 0 credit for waiting to call out Golovkin after the Monte Carlo fight was signed and sealed.

    Dirrell called out GG long before the Monacco debacle.

    C'mon now.

    Mr. Pibb, derrick, Farmboxer....they're all transparent race hustlers.

    Farmboxer, unlike the other two, makes no pretense about it and knows he isn't fooling anyone.

    Sturm won't touch GGG, he made an art out of ducking GGG when GGG was his WBA mandatory. It's got to be Geale. Kirkland's management would have to be stupid or insane to take a fight with GGG at MW, when Kirkland is just getting his career back together at JMW. I just can't see Kirkland accepting a GGG fight. I hope it's Geale in April. That would be a much more meaningful win for GGG than Kirkland.

    My point is that he should go up not down. It doesnt have to be Dirrell. As someone mentioned, fighting Mandingo is going backwards not progressing.

    Wait a minute, didn't Mora struggle with shot Mosley not too long ago? Mosley, the career welterweight/lightweight with zero fights at MW.

    So which of these guys are asking for the April 26 date?

    Where? If he did I will give him some credit, especially if 50c sent over a contract offer - but I didnt see anything about it until after Adama fight was announced. Then when the GBP brother jumped on after Bika, I just wrote it off as grandstanding.

    Once again, facts get in your way. Monacco was announced in mid-November. Dirrell called out GGG in early to mid December.

    "C'mon now." :smoke

    James Kirkland vs GGG in 154 lbs is barn burner :boxer

    Actually, Kirkland has several fights at 160, check his record.
