Comments Thread For: Team Golovkin To Pursue Sam Soliman Unification

[LouIE G]

Soliman is a durable guy, and his hyper style might cause some problems but ggg figures him out and adds another belt to his stable! One thing for sure is this AUSSIE wont quit after 3 rounds!

[Foreign Soil]

This is the only fight I thought would be possible for the next fight. Quillin nor Cotto want to unify, but you can bet Soliman has the balls to take it.

Sam - if you're reading, just give him your belt and cash the $500k cheque before you get in the ring.

another bum please no!!fight Quillin!!

If Soliman is a bum so is Quillin.

However, I'd be lying if I said I'm excited about this fight. Golovkin should move up to 168. It would be ****** to face the toughest guy in the division (Ward) in his first fight there. But he could move up with a view to fighting Ward in 3 or 4 fights time. In the meantime, he could face guys like Abraham, Froch, Stieglitz, Rodriguez, DeGale, Groves, etc. There is a greater buzz surrounding these guys than anyone else at middleweight.

Especially if he weighs in at 160 and still demolishes a 68 pounder. He's not ready for Ward but beating top 10 super-middleweights in between grabbing and defending middleweight belts would be a great feat.

Abraham is fighting for the WBO belt and has already expressed interest in fighting Sturm. Froch is chasing Chavez (who isn't?), and DeGale is looking for his title shot against Froch. Groves is fighting for a regional belt, and Bomba has been inactive due to elbow surgery and will likely make his comeback @175. Steglitz seems like the only one who has nothing going on, and I wouldn't mind that match-up if it were to happen. He's yet to be beaten by Froch/Ward, so it would be a good look for 3G if he could move up and wreck him.

How unexciting.

If this is for October, then it's a good keep busy fight for another strap. Also soliman is a rugged fighter, like to see if he can use his tactics on GGG.

Love to see him fight Quillen, Cotto, Canelo.... But no way will they fight him next.. At the very least maybe one of those three will fight him late next year.

Sucks for GGG...

[Box-Office]

Didn't Soliman call out GGG? I mean it's not everyday.

Soliman holds the IBF MW title for all those "fans" that are calling it a bum fight.

[Kagami Taiga]

Seriously an uninspiring fight.
