I can't see Canelo or Cotto faring very well against GGG.

I believe that Rubio losing the belt on the scales makes the interim belt up for grabs again.

Is there any particular reason Klitschko isn't taking on Stiverne to get that last belt? He's dominated the heavyweights so long now, he might as well get undisputed recognition before retiring.

I believe Klitschko is happy to bide his time, hopefully not kill Briggs and then fight the winner.

Wlad is probably content to fight Kurbat Pulev types in Europe as opposed to have to gently caress around with Don King (Stiverne) or Al Haymon (Wilder) for something that would generate very little interest even among boxing fans. God help me I would rather he just fight Briggs than Stiverne right now. Let either he or Wilder look dominant above the other than do the same to Bryant Jennings than we can talk. Also HBO is ramping things up with a bunch of shows to close out the year-and have apparently added David Lemiuex-Gabriel Rosado to replace the aborted Canelo-Clottey date on December 6th. Showtime look to have their final (and perhaps only) remaining card on the 13th as a counter to Bradley-Chaves Dan Rafael's twitter posted:Also, @OscarDeLaHoya says 12/13 @SHOsports good to go: @AmirKingKhan vs @TheRealDevonA. Thurman-TBA & Andrade-Charlo.

Bad News and Good News. Bad News is Cotto is allowed a voluntary defence of his WBC middleweight belt Good News is that is will probably be Canelo for the voluntary setting up a Canelo/Cott vs GGG fight sometime next year. http://www.boxingscene.com/cotto-allowed-voluntary-defense-facing-golovkin--83419

Wlad has repeatedly stated he wants to unify the WBC belt. He already tried to secure a a fight for it, actually. He'll almost certainly get a chance in 2015. And a Klitschko/Briggs fight is a total embarrassment. Briggs is nothing. He was in his prime in the 90s.

Shear the Sheep posted:Bad News and Good News. This is great if they can pull it off. Truthfully Golovkin is closer to a junior middleweight than a super middleweight. And a Cotto/Alvarez fight is maybe the second most attractive fight to be made that could be made in boxing. I'd have to imagine that it's a fight Canelo wins decisively.

GGG should just keep fighting where he's fighting and destroying everything in the world instead of dropping extra weight.

CommonShore posted:GGG should just keep fighting where he's fighting and destroying everything in the world instead of dropping extra weight. I think the idea was that he could do it for a big $$ fight, not as a permanent shift in weight class. For example, if Floyd suddenly became Bizarro Floyd and wanted to fight GGG. Or if Canelo or Cotto would only fight him at 154.

I think his camp has said anyone from 154-168 they will take on. Andre Ward wants to fight Golovkin but Andre Ward can't get in the ring

Probably pretty drat well. Andre Ward can actually box on the inside unlike most of the guys Golovkin has fought. I think he'd be really tricky for Golovkin on the outside too. Really there's nothing about Golovkin that makes me think he would beat Ward in a decision fight, and it's tough for me to imagine even Golovkin's hard punches finding a clean spot to land on Ward to knock him out.

I think it would a very highly contested fight. 345-5 (Golovkin's Amateur Record) is enough evidence for me to believe that Ward would have a lot more trouble trying to control the pace of the fight or spacing against Golovkin like he has in the past. This would be an epic match in my opinion.

Murray is pretty basic but he's huge for a middleweight and I don't think ever seen him hurt so it'll be interesting to see how Golovkin goes about it

It's too bad 160 is so thin of talent, because these fights GGG is taking are all lateral moves against 2nd level guys. There are no big name guys left in the division besides Cotto, who's really a welterweight and would get annihilated by Golovkin. Saul Alvarez is another possibility, but he's average sized at 154. Too bad Dmitry Pirog's career was derailed by injuries. He was the only middleweight in the last few years who looked potentially dominant. I really hope a Golovkin/Ward can be made one day. Assuming Floyd retires next year, a fight between Golovkin and Ward could annoint the next P4P #1 fighter in the world.

Is there a secondary market?

that is the greatest referee performance I've seen since Gainer/Norwood, the part where he gives a count for blows to the back of the head then immediately takes a point away is fantastic
