It's not like it was from the mid 2000s and earlier. Boxing has very few great fighters still working in the business. Take a look around how many great fighters are still operating near peak capacity? Gonzalez Ward Kovalev Cotto That's about it. Roman is smaller than a 10 year old. Ward is inactive. Cotto will never get in the ring and Kovalev is ****ing huge. Who do you want him to fight? He's already taken out the best 160 pounder in the world. And who cares about a Canelo fight? He's like a sloth and gasses in the 7th round.
Of course we want so see him with Canelo or Cotto @160 But there are some other good fights for Golovkin Daniel Jacobs ,Lemieux, Andy Lee, Eubank Jr, N'Dam N'Jikam @ 160 It must be possible to realize one of this fights
Answer the question ****wad. Who's out there that's really good? Are McClellan, jackson, benn, hagler, Hearns, etc still fighting. He already beat the best middleweight in the world.
Quillin, Lee, Canelo, and Cotto don't suck. They are just unwilling to face him. This is sort of like that period in the late nineties when Hopkins couldn't get Joppy to fight him. Personally, I think that Lemieux is way overrated, but he didn't look bad in his last fight against some decent competition in N'Dam. Now that he has a title, he should be willing to defend it against the other champion. So throw him into that mix I mentioned earlier. That's five good matches worth watching.
Mediocre matches IMO. Haters want to see him in with a live body. He sent the best middleweight in the world in complete survival mode almost immediately. There's nothing out there IMO.
He can only fight who's there. You can't put Monzon in a time machine and bring him from 1971. He should fight Lara though.
