Geale: Golovkin can’t bluff me
By Ray Wheatley — World of Boxing
IBF middleweight champion Daniel Geale talked to Grantlee Kieza of the Courier Mail and proclaimed that he knows how to defeat WBA middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin. Geale said “I fought Golovkin as an amateur at the East Asia Games in Osaka in 2001. I fought terribly and he beat me on points. He’s dangerous but there are *****s in his armour. He just knocked out another British fighter named Matthew Macklin. I thought it would be a close fight but Golovkin knocked him out in three rounds. At the moment he has everyone bluffed. But he can’t bluff me. I know exactly what he’s got and I would love to fight him again. To beat Golovkin you have to show that you’re not scared of him and that you’re willing to go with him if he wants to throw bombs. You need good footwork and you have to be able to bang him back. I know I have good feet and I also know that he hasn’t been tested by someone who can drag him into the late rounds. I felt his power, the guy is strong definitely and he can punch hard. But I’ve been in there with some pretty decent punchers.” Daniel Geale will defend the IBF middleweight title against Darren Barker on August 17 in Atlantic City.

Geale hasn't got the power to earn GGG's respect, i don't know what round this fight ends, but GGG wins by TKO/KO eventually. He can run but he can't hide for the whole 12 rounds.
I give Geale a great chance against GGG. He has the skills to thwart GGG's power
GGG is a master intimidator, and Macklin lost his fight already in the Weigh-In when GGG put on his 4" shoes to look like a giant in the face off.
Geale is much tougher and wouldn't be intimidated as easily.
Geale has good skills and would give GGG problems, but GGG has also improved a lot and cuts off the ring effectively now, so I only give Geale a 20% chance of winning.
.
Geale will avoid GGG.
I'm hoping Barker wins, because he'll be willing to fight Golovkin.
Hearn won't let Barker anywhere near Golovkin. I actually think there's more chance of Geale taking the fight. Realistically, neither probably will.
If you want to know where GGG is at look how Martinez did against Macklin and Murray... then see what GGG did to Macklin and got Murray or at least Ricky Hattons promo company running scared.
That is not really how you would know where a fighter is.
i'm following GGG since 2004, so what?
So what?
Some of us have been following him longer than that.

You are probably one of them only 3 east europeans who knew who he was and talked about him on boxingscene, the rest of them were just Sept 2012 fans.. a lot of them are actually in this thread.
Geale is the closest thing to Martinez...highly skilled mover (not southpaw though)....so if Martinez does fight on, this will be a good yardstick for where GGG is really at! Bring it on!

How dare you provide evidence to back up your claim
The second Geale got the both belts he was going to lose one of them no matter what, and neither body would allow him to keep the other.
Geale is also the most likely to fight GGG from all the current champs.
The Mundine rematch needed to happen then or the money was gone and he needed to avenge the loss, which I thought we was robbed on anyways.
He really is... but it's kind of by default. Sergio is out for what... a year? And he's chasing all the bigger money fights and he'll take a tune up as soon as he returns (most likely) So that's like a year right there before a match is even possible.
Chocolate on Showtime.
Geale is the only option.
There's the possibility of Rubio winning the interim and being elevated.... but that's about it.
Don't you understand? If you don't fight GGG now you are ducking doe, no excuse, no building up the fight for better financial gains, no exploiting other options... Fight him now or you ducking doe.. And guess when he came to all of these fans notice? September 2012 and this is why I call them Sept 2012 fans. But they would try and convince you that they have being following GGG since 2008 etc
i'm following GGG since 2004, so what?
