Mora > Lee. What a soap opera, at this rate Golovkin needs to fight seven times this year, knock out all fringe contenders so the only ones left in 2015 are the usual suspects.
Golovkin vs Andy Lee already on BoxRec......

At the weigh-in for the bout, representatives of Andy Lee requested that the gloves of Chavez be weighed to make certain they were at the agreed-upon weight. The request was denied by Texas Commission Sports Inspector Robert Tapia. Lee's manager, Perry Mandera, then asked Chavez's trainer Freddie Roach to weigh the gloves in the spirit of fairness. "He pushed past me and said, 'We don't have to, so we're not going to," according to Mandera.Comment

Does it really matter what Lee did before he got blasted by Fake Jr almost 2 years ago.
This just isnt a good fight. Is what it isComment

As to the lists, sports fans like rankings and tables. In boxing I think they play an important role in terms of providing clarity with the multitude of belts on offer today.
That's your own personal opinion, I think you need to leave room for the opinions of others. It's a good fight considering what else there is on the table .Last edited by Weebler I; 02-06-2014, 11:45 AM.Comment

He beat the **** out of Lee by the end of it and your reasoning as to why here further confirms it.
I can understand people having Lee ahead (I don't see it) but I can understand it because it wasn't a blow out but to say that Chavez didn't put a beating on him is just plain denial.Comment

He did end up getting destroyed by Chavez like being claimed.
It's similar to saying Cotto didn't get destroyed by Margarito because he was ahead at the time.
I understand that Cotto took a lot more damage but if Andy Lee had any real durability he'd have looked in a similar state if he could take Chavez punches for another 4 rounds after that.Comment

That's not cause for praise.

Its cool if you want to see GGG fight. I get that. But everything you've ever posted about competitiveness of fights and quality of opposition is at play here.Comment

Weebler you are placing more emphasis on the lead up rather than the finish. whether lee was up or not is a matter of opinion. whether he got KTFO is not.

The whole reason you said that about Chavez was to give the impression Lee wasn't on his level, but it wasn't true, he was more than competitive against a guy with everything stacked in his favour.
Golovkin v Lee is a decent fight, and pretty good option given the lack of alternatives.
And it's not boxing either.Last edited by Weebler I; 02-06-2014, 12:19 PM.Comment
