Chad Dawson came down to fight the best. Stevenson moved up for better fights. GGG just wants to fight blown up welters.
Monroe is a poor opponent and waste of a fight. He should of just flattened Lara IMO. Lara seems game although GGG's critics would have no doubt branded him just another 154lber.
So Monroe's uncle, who was a only a Worm, was good enough to not only fight Marvin Hagler but actually beat him but Monroe Jr., who is actually a freaking Mongoose, isn't good enough comp for Golovkin? You idiots don't even realize that you are actually insulting Marvelous Marvin Hagler when you poo poo Monroe Jr. as an opponent for Golovkin. atsch And Monroe's only defeat was a SD loss to a fighter who KO'd the current lineal LHW champion in 2 rounds, dropped the unified WBA/IBF and WBO LHW champion and also dropped and hurt the current WBA SMW one and the supposed P4P#2 fighter in the world. :deal
And the only reason Golovkin isn't facing Cotto next time out instead of Monroe is because Golovkin doesn't have a gammy knee and isn't a welterweight or a 75 year old LMW.
I don't think Lemieux, Ndam, or Saunders are scared of GGG. Lemieux-Ndam was being made and there are still legal woes for Lemieux before GGG was available. Saunders wants Lee first. Any of these fighters would make a lot deal more money bringing a title to a GGG fight they are being smart not being scared. A lot of GGG fans need to see it from the other fighters perspectives also instead of pushing the narrative that everyone has no *****. I could say GGG has no ***** for not fighting Lara instead of a green Monroe but truth be told it would be hard getting Lara to fight on HBO but I am not pushing a Lara fanboy narrative that GGG is afraid of Lara. Saunders and Lee has been stirring and would make good money I expect Saunders to face GGG soon afterward. As soon as Lemieux was offered Ndam he took it as other fighters turned down fighting Ndam. As for Quillin he has already said he wouldn't fight GGG that I take as a duck hell he wouldn't fight Korobov. Cotto I feel should fight GGG but part of the blame should be on WBC also. They told Cotto he could choose his next opponent before fighting GGG and that was a mistake on their part. Especially after Cotto said no one tells him to do anything. I expect Cotto to drop the belt after his next fight and I think he only wanted to use the belt to get a big fight with Canelo or Mayweather and I'm happy those fights didn't work out for him.
Hopefully Lee beats Quillen because he has the b all s to fight GGG. Quillen probably does not GGG vs Lee in Aug GGG vs Cotto in Dec.
I bet Rodriguez would KO Monroe I love how people are trying to make Monroe into the middleweight Mayweather all of a sudden
Well we don't really know how Kirkland is gonna look but I think its crazy to say that hes gonna look as bad as he did in the Ishida fight just because he doesn't have Wolfe with him I think hes gonna look good and have his moments in this fight
Because this is a huge opportunity for him Biggest fight of his career So I imagine he'll come prepared and motivated Not really that hard to imagine is it?
