Why not Marco Antonio Rubio for GGG instead of Lee?

    Rubio has like 50 knockouts in 60 fights and if anything else he can bang and is a top ten middleweight, who I'm sure would appreciate the payday.

    he is rated higher than Andy Lee and is frankly a better fighter and infinitely a greater danger as he is a true middleweight. He destroyed former KO artist Lemieux giving him his first loss

    or is Rubio also ducking or refusing to fight GGG ala Geale, Murray etc....

    why not, seems like a entertaining scrap from a real threat from El Veneno, or is Rubio just too risky????

    Rubio wants Spada for WBC interim instead.

    As another poster has already mentioned, Rubio is focused on the WBC belt. Plus, he's a willfull, experienced fighter who possesses a broad skill set AND pop...not exactly the kind of guy people are itching to fight.

    I like Rubio. Watching him brutally halt the lemineux hype train was hilarious. It was almost as funny as watching Froch starch Bute and all his diehard fans dreams crumbling at once.
