    Please make GGG-Kirkland. I'll put every penny I've got on GGG by stoppage.

    (Other than that I think it's a rubbish fight)

      Why? If they give him Geale, they will be literally forced to give him Martinez next!

      ... But without Geale... Golovkin will have to stay "untested yet", "who did he beat, actually?", etc...

          To be honest I want Canelo vs Kirkland badly.


          Kirkland beat up my homeboy Tapia which wasn't cool, and I actually do like Canelo despite all the **** I talk about Lara beating his ass

            HBO are hesitant cos they don't want GGG in with a sound boxer, they want to keep him in a highlight reel, knocking out guys with questionable chins and some who aren't even legit middles.

            I wana hear what GGGs team have to say on this, they keep callin guys out apparently and no one wants to fight them. So lets hear what they have to say.

                That's the way I read it. HBO won't go bananas over Geale and give him reason to ask for money.

                I doubt Kirkland is even a factor.

                  don't see what the issue is. golovkin has a fight coming up so why would hbo say yes to gary shaw right away. hbo said the right thing, they will think about it...doesn't mean they don't like the matchup.

                    HBO might be reluctant due to budget restrictions and purses

                      That's the same conspiracy theory used for Dibella giving Golovkin the Macklin fight.
