    Also I think Tureano might make things interesting buy trying to smother and clinching.... Heiland just gets murdered

    I assumed he's out, he's talkign fighting but also saying he knows he needs more fights before they can make it. Also, K2 should know that he's an unknown commodity... so kind of useless right now. Let him show his stuff and if he's shows good stuff and looks impressive, fight him then. Right now he's the guy who won Boxcino and beat a faded ass Vera
    Tureano is too wild and open, he'll get caught and folded early I think. No interest in Heiland.

    I like Monroe fight because he's supposed to be what Golovkin struggles with, a slick mover with good ring IQ, he's also an American which makes it easier to promote.

      I guess Monroe Jr. fits, along with Lemieux.
      I doubt it will be Lemieux, I think they're going to plan that fight later in the year.

      Willie Monroe is ranked top 5 in WBA and WBO. He might be one of the front runners. Saunders is the other guy ranked but I think he's going to skip that fight and go after the Andy Lee- Quillin winner.

        You're right Lara would easily move up a weight class and beat GGG. Genius.

          They would probably rob Lara anyways.

          I could see Lara outboxing GGG and GGG still getting the decision.

          Lara has been robbed against P Will and Canelo, no way they aren't gonna rob him against the super hyped Glovokin.

              Monroe and Lemieux are both very good middleweights and maybe the best next to GGG. I hope he fights them soon. Monroe is a fast boxer with good power and Lemieux is a fast and very hard puncher with both hands.

                1. Monroe 2. Johnson 3. Heiland

                In that order (assuming those are the 3 fighters).

                  I'm a big GGG fan but I'm even getting sick of these mismatches. I know he fights 4 times a year and it's gonna be tough to get big names but come on, none of these guys have a shot against him. Take the fkin Lara fight and whoop his azz and shut these idiots up about you fighting nobodies

                    Things that as a boxing fan I never thought I would say:

                      How is Lara going to fight on HBO?
                      He's not at 160lbs and it will not be a mandatory or unification.
                      Haymon is paying money out of his own pocket for his guys to fight on regular tv.
                      You think he would just let Lara go fight on another network, especially a network that basically told him to **** off?
                      Why do people act like these things don't exist and any fighter can just go fight anyone on any network?
