    That bring to mind a good thread for the future...

    Who Wins? Prime GGG vs prime Kelly Pavlik???

    Guess who I predict? That's right...

    Rubio has a solid chin which is why I think he could test GGG

    Stevenson makes a lot more per fight than ggg:deal

    So you expect his chin to test ggg?
    :lol:
    He got vaporized in 33 seconds.

    The bar is set so low for ggg even Rubio is a quality opponent.

    Unfortunatley he doesn't have much of a choice hopefully by next year he will have beaten GGG and whoever owns the WBC belt and can move up to 168 to make some noise.

    Rubio is the first real threat outside of Stevens, powerwise GGG has fought, I'm sure I'm alone in this opinion, but I've been wanting GGG to fight Rubio for awhile now, he's a sturdy tough as nails Mexican with a great chin, he's definitely going to come the closest to pushing GGG to his limit.

    :good I've notice GGG stops guys in double quick time that have never been stopped before, but the ones that have it takes him a while longer.

    :conf Perhaps the ones that have go into damage limitation from the first bell. Rubio however won't.

    there is nothing at 160
    It's a dead division...that's why Rubio is a "champ"
    He won a vacant strap...just like ggg.

    There is nothing to prove at 160..he is heavilly favored over anybody there...an American fighter would be required to move out of that dead division and "take some risks"..

    Remember what people said about the LW division when Broner was there?

    I do.

    Remember what happened to Broner when he moved up too fast. Thats why GGG should take his time

    Pavlik stopped them quicker and more brutally.

    Pavlik stopped guys that have never been stopped as well....far better fighters.
