    Regardless of where he's fighting, I hope he gets Sam Soliman, at least.
    Chavez Jr at the Forum, where they were originally supposed to fight.

          I can see why though...because it's a way easier fight for a good amount of money.

          Actualy...instead of Rubio, I hope it's Mora...but Lou has not been able to get him on T.V and got him on untelevised spots where he got 2 KO's...against weak comp, but that would've helped him out there
          If Golovkin is not fighting a big name or a unification fight, I'd rather he fight Rubio instead of Mora. It would make for a more exciting fight, I think. Mora's never been KO'd though, so he has that going for him. But I don't think most viewers would care for that fact. And for whatever it's worth, Rubio is also ranked higher than Mora right now.

            He needs to Come to AT&T park, Oracle Arena, The HP Pavillion, the Cow Pallace, or the Haas Pavilion in Berkeley, where the Cal Basketball team plays.

                I get what you mean. Rubio would be more fan friendly and people tuned in to see him rough it out with Chavez Jnr. Mora will present a slick challenge, but it'll be moot once he is driven to the ropes.

                I don't know who else they could have on the West Coast

                  Hi welcome to the world of boxing, I'm twrx and I'll be your guide. You see in the world of boxing we have specific weight classes to ensure "even" competition and be able to keep weight relatively close. You see ward and ggg fight in 2 diff weight classes though not much it still a big difference at this point in their respected careers Ward had cleaned out 168 and has nobody to fight and has been the man in his class for years and the logical solution is to move up in weight and start a newb journey. Then we have Gennady Golovkin we has recently started gaining credibility in his division and has plenty of fights left before he clears the division @160 and is crowned the kingpin of the mw. And @32 is just about grown into his body and by the time he runs 160 he may be 33/35 years old a move up is still possible down the road but ward @30 can still move to 175 and build on top of his frame.
                  If you have any more questions feel free to ask

                    I hope it's at Galen Center. Very underrated venue for boxing in Southern California. I was there for Arreola vs. Stiverne II. Galen Center, which has a capacity of 10,000 is a much better option for this Fall than Stub Hub Center, which is more of a summer venue. Galen Center is a real cozy and comfortable venue.

                    Golovkin vs. Rubio would be alright. Rubio is a pretty tough dude if nothing else.

                      Yea, Stub Hub is more of a summer venue. Most likely Galen then. GGG was able to put in a decent amount of people at MSG, so maybe he can do the same there
