Is "GGG vs Stevens/Vera" mismatch and waste of time?

lol @ OP

but 3gs knocks out everybody within 3 rounds, so i guess every fights a mismatch. hard to believe gabby rosado gave him his toughest comp.

need to see rosado/love rematch

HBO seems to be fine with GGG knocking out a string of average fighters before he fights sergio. I get that. Don't risk him looking bad (mora) or losing (ward) before he gets a shot at the lineal MW title. Thats a sound business decision.

Martinez = injured
Quillin = GBP/Showtime
Barker = mandatory v Sturm

Let's not pretend Ward wanted to fight Golovkin any time soon, he's made it clear it's Rodriguez then Chavez. He doesn't want to talk about Golovkin.

HBO might not want Mora but Golovkin could fight him in Monaco on Berman's card.

Thats ridiculous, Golovkin is just fighting the best possible fighters available while all the top guys are running around avoiding him. If they could, they would have Sergio fight golovkin next but sergio needs a tune up fight once a year

Also Ward has made it clear he wants Rodriguez and then Chavez

Haha so true. Martinez would never fight GGG especially at this stage of their careers. GGG ends Sergio's chances of a fight with Canelo/Cotto/Mayweather. We know he aint gonna fight Ward so he might as well fight tune ups til he retires.

i think golovkin should face sergio mora. it may not be exciting, but we need to see him handle a fighter like that. the experience would surely benefit him as a boxer

Stevens is not a waste of time because he's a big puncher wit .a bit of hype. He could be a good test for GGG if he lands clean.

Vera would be an absolute waste of time though but that fight isn't going to happen anyway.

GGG vs. Sergio is the only fight that matters right now.

Sergio rightly deserves a tune up because of the injuries and the layoff. So I don't expect him to fight anybody relevant the April Argentina fight.

Geale/Barker/Sturm/Murray/Macklin will all swap, share and trade Barker's title and avoid GGG so who cares? Quillin is in la la land so that's not happening.

So until next fall, GGG just needs to stay busy and make title defenses until the Sergio fight goes down.

weebler please man you saw Lampley downplay ward v GGG. HBO knows once either ward or GGG loses thats one less superstar on the roster. niether is a huge draw. HBO out and out refused Mora because of his awkward style which might have ended the KO streak they have been touting so much.

why would the lineal 168 lb champ and the guy universally regarded as the 2nd best fighter in the world mention GGG, a MW champ who isn't even the best MW in the world or a top p4p fighter yet? I mean seriously.

Yeah, right. sounds like the same stuff you said about Matts. danny was supposedly afraid and ducking blah blah blah. Those same fighters aren't fihting quillin but you dont say the same thing.

Mora begged for the fight and HBO rejected it IMO because they didn't want to risk GGG looking bad and his KO streak ending. He surely IMO would beat Mora.
