      Nothing to be ashamed of there whatsoever. Daniel Geale is not in that same class if we're talking about what I saw in his last fight...
      You DON'T get credit for losing fights, you get credit for winning them. Lamont Peterson has never been a good fighter and has looked bad when stepping up. He also has a weak chin, Matthysse stopped him effortlessly, he was dropped hard by Khan, dropped TWICE by a Bradley (a weak puncher), and dropped by other opponents throughout. He also has no notable wins outside of a split decision robbery against a Khan. Quite honestly, Peterson should have never held a title, I don't even know how he got to keep his title even after failing PED test for anabolics.

      Geale is a former unified champion (WBA, IBF) and has a stronger overall resume. He beat titleholders Sturm and Sylvester in Germany.

        Kirkland at 154 or 160.. The reason I say 154 is because GGG's on record challenging everyone from 54-68

            I said best available, Jacobs isn't available

            And he's not going down to 154 for Kirkland. He's only going down there for Floyd/Canelo

              Kirkland's not even top 10 at JMW.

              Geale is top 5 at MW.

              JK would be seen as cherrypicking a 154 fighter. A joke fight.

                No, I never bet you on Kovalev-Stevenson.

                Only Kirk-GGG if it goes past the 2nd for Kirkland

                and

                Jacobs - Quillin for Jacobs.

                  What do you think about Jacobs?

                  Personally, I feel he puts up a better fight than Geale
                  Maybe who knows I haven't seen him fight since being Ko'd by Pirog.

                  Honestly at this point he is more unproven than most guys GGG has fought recently. I think he could be good, but if we are looking for an opponent for GGG to prove himself Jacobs definitely isn't it. Maybe down the line but after all Jacobs has been through it would be way too early to get in there with Golovkin

                    Only because he's been out due to contract issues with GB, not because he's not a top 10 JMW fighter. Let's get real here

                    If we're talking best fighter at 154, Kirk is easily top 3

                      How is Jacobs not available?

                      Last I heard he was looking for a fight with Quillin.
