    You gotta admit though when asked about Golovkin in the post Geale interview he sounded like a *****.

    Yeah Matthew deserves credit for the Sturm match he did far better than most thought he would. Regardless I think had Martinez really pressed the action he could have got him out of there in 3 or 4 rounds, Sergio realized he could hurt him early with two different shots that sent him into the ropes and so instead of making it a war of attrition he took his time and broke him down and stopped him late and that match took a toll, most Martinez opponents were never the same after facing him.

    I don't think Miguel gets passed Canelo, but the ratio of swollen wallet to swollen face for that one is a lot more worth it than against GGG

    There was never any offers to fight anyone at 160... you want quillin? Throw an offer out thats documented.. you want Lee? Same ****.. theres negotiations that have to take place, and GGGs promoter should be seeking those types of fights for his fighter..

    The thing with GGG is and this is a pattern thats clear to see: Any guy who has very good boxing skills and who can move around the ring have Low Ko pct...Monroe is one, Murray is another one... Every puncher he faces are stationary fighters, stand right in front of you and are there to make you look like a monster and its worked on his fans..

    But everyone knows GGG ducks Boxers who got pop.. so i disagree GGG is not ducked..

    I need to see what Monroe does after this to see how to rate the win. And I don't see how Rubio could be better, I don't follow him at all really but seems to me like a gatekeeper.

    Alright One question if he only fight's guys who make him look like a monster then why would he try so hard for a fight with Froch? And I'm not sure about the history of possible fights with Quillan and Lee but I do believe his team has tried in the past to no avail( I could be wrong).

    Rubio beat Lemieux, Spada, Cota, Rigoberto Alvarez who are all decent and IMO should have had a draw with Chavez Jr. he's a gatekeeper no doubt, but a top tier gatekeeper who could probably still beat a lot of decent fighters at MW or SMW.

    Froch is not a mover, hes right in front of you and GGG has no problems fighting bigger stronger but stationary fighters.. same with Chavez, stationary. but ward whos the man at 168, has not made is mind up to where hes going to campaign, mind you....He wants a CW? I dont understand it.. But people still seem to think hes being ducked, and i dont know why..

    Im telling you, Cotto is a warrior... but he has to be compinsated for his troubles, after all he is the naturally smaller guy here.. id say a Cw of 155 would be a Good weight, to ensure Cotto is given a fair chance win or lose..

    Do you really think he's ducking guys like Lee and Quillan while at the same time trying to get a fight with Froch? :huh other than Ward who do you want him to fight? And we both know the result of a Lara fight.

    He's the Middleweight Champion he should fight at 160 or vacate....he knows the reality, Trout did a number on him and was busting him up and if he gets in the ring with someone who pressures him more effectively and cuts the ring off more effectively than Margarito and hits way harder than Concreto .....he's screwed and he knows it.:deal
