I'm not saying he's a bum, I just don't see what's so good about him especially with pleading for him to fight GGG because I don't see this fight being competitive whatsoever.

I keep seeing his name thrown around as a worthy opponent for GGG, but I just don't see it
Besides Martinez and Sturm, Geale probably has the best resume in the division. He unified the WBA and IBF belts against Sturm and Sylvester. He also has some less notable wins against Karmazin (TKO12), Adama, Mundine, D. Dawson, and Ajetovic.
In his best win against Sturm, he started the fight boxing with Felix, which appeared detrimental as Sturm had the better jab. He then adjusted and closed the range on Sturm and outworking him on the inside. Unlike Macklin and Murray before him, he finished the championship rounds on a strong note and won a split decision.
I don't think he has a chance against Golovkin but who knows, he could come up with a gameplan that could frustrate GGG. He is also physically larger than Golovkin and probably has a better chin and workrate than anyone GGG has fought so far.Last edited by BafanaBafana; 02-02-2014, 01:08 AM.

Originally posted by US Dirk Killer View PostWho does stand a chance? He's a two time world champion who has a very good resume and the best person Golovkin would have fought.... why wouldn't he be a good opponent? By that logic, nobody Golovkin fights in MW is any good, so what's the point of fighting them? Just leave the money on the doorstep and surrender
