    mora has a decent profile in the west coast though, right? and rubio being mexican should be able to draw some fans over there too. i'm not up to date on the promotional situations of these two fighters but on paper they seem to fit the bill for an introductory west coast show.

      wont likely approve Mora because he makes for terrible TV. Rubio is Cotto's mandatory and likely won't want to risk that ranking.

      I think you want an exciting, stub hub fight-paging James Kirkland. But I think he's on Canelo's short list and that is far more dough.

      I'll keep saying it until I'm blue in the face-GGG needs to cut this **** out and take short money, go to England, and fight Froch.

        Stevens
        Proksa
        Macklin
        Geale
        Adama

        Were all MUCH better than Salka and even Rosado and Ishida were somewhat better than Salka.


        You never complained when Rosado fought Quillan.

          GGG isn't 5-0. His resume pales in comparison to Danny's. Adama had as much chance as salka.

          Because I don't think quillin is one of the most skilled fighters in the world.

            You want GGG to go to another country to fight a boxer in a bigger weight division?

            How about Floyd Mayweather going to Kazakhstan for a fight with Golovkin at 160?

              Maybe Vanes Martisoryan
              Funny, ggg might get an opponent before berto and bettors up in less than a month

                Some what better, man everyone on that list is ten folds above what Salks was. Not even comparable. Salka was the guy prospects fight in there 7th-8th fight.

                  Think Danny Jacobs is feasible?

                    Ishida and Rosado are definitely better than salka.

                      Dude, its a big fight for GGG, one that's winnable. He isn't likely to get a cotto fight or a Canelo fight in the near future. he is 32 and isn't getting younger.

                      Floyd did same with ODH dude (didn't go to foreign country)-GGG is in the same position-high risk, low reward. he is going to have to take a huge risk to make the leap.

                      Say what you want about Floyd but when he didn't get what he wanted-he found a way to make it happen. I think GGG can and should do same.
