Golovkin could be heading west coast

makes sense from a business standpoint to try to get him over with Hispanic fans, since he's got that Chavez Sr. style. If Soliman's fighting Taylor and the fight is on the Mexican-populated West Coast that means it'll probably be either Rubio or Sergio Mora. Those are probably the only two options at the moment.

If Golovkin is not fighting a big name or a unification fight, I'd rather he fight Rubio instead of Mora. It would make for a more exciting fight, I think. Mora's never been KO'd though, so he has that going for him. But I don't think most viewers would care for that fact. And for whatever it's worth, Rubio is also ranked higher than Mora right now. Is there much point to either fight? After the Geale destruction, I see GGG v anyone from 154-160 as a formality. He beats them all. I hate to say it, but maybe he should use this Autumn/Fall to test a move up in weight.

If I'm Cotto, I definitely want to fight Alvarez at 154 and not give him any lbs for the sake of fighting for a MW title. By next May, I think their 154lb version may become available. But your right, the orgs don't touch the top money makers, though the WBC is more wary of lawsuits than any of the other orgs... I think they'll up a catch weigh in at the lower end of the weight class and use canelo a comments about never wanting to go up to mw against him

WBC aren't going to touch Cotto, trust me.... especially with Cotto/Canelo around the corner If I'm Cotto, I definitely want to fight Alvarez at 154 and not give him any lbs for the sake of fighting for a MW title.

We could see Cotto vacate, especially if he fights Bradely or even a JMW, leaving Rubio the sole title holder. Rubio had to sue for that title shot, and his mandatory status has been strecthed. Funny thing is, Matthew Macklin is fighting a WBC eliminator (this weekend?) against Jorge Heiland. WBC aren't going to touch Cotto, trust me.... especially with Cotto/Canelo around the corner

lol if it is... I think that's only possible with interim titles... freaking joke if it is because WBC might want more money We could see Cotto vacate, especially if he fights Bradely or even a JMW, leaving Rubio the sole title holder.

Maybe they can get Rubio. Since they could use a Mexican on the bill. But I doubt he gives up his mando shot at Cotto. if he doesn't get him in December, he has no chance at getting him at all.....IMO

If it does end up being Rubio, it'll be interesting whether or not it ends up being a unification bout. Kessler could also be on the short list if HBO is willing to pay for it. lol if it is...

I doubt it would be Kessler. Kessler's manager, I believe, said that he would not put Kessler against a dangerous opponent like GGG for his first fight back. I prefer it that way. It's better to see what Kessler has left in the tank before pitting him against a top level fighter.

All jokes aside I'm a diehard Raiders fan. I've never been to Oakland or anything.

oakland is known for 2 things. crime and andre ward. a lot of people would say its a crime what andre ward does in a boxing ring. lol, andre ward slowly fading into obscurity too

Oh, you mean JOkeland? oakland is known for 2 things. crime and andre ward. a lot of people would say its a crime what andre ward does in a boxing ring.

No way its jcc jr. He's chilling until january for Froch. Rubio will be good fight. Of course he's not as good as ggg, but he is a KO machine himself It's going to be somebody who's probably west coast friendly and probably got some Mexican in them.... so it's basically screaming Rubio. Wanted Solimon but evidently he won't be free until next year...wat? I hope they put Mora on the undercard

when thinking about west coast cities, people try to forget about oakland. Oh, you mean JOkeland?

Lets hope he goes to Oakland while he's there. when thinking about west coast cities, people try to forget about oakland.

I'm planning on going...Any idea on a date? Looks like Canelo and Hopkins got the 8th and 15th. Crawford at the end of November. Oct 25 or Nov 1 maybe.
