OH NO ANOTHER BUM?COME ON?

That's because they don't rank belt holders from other organizations. 10 middleweights better than Willie Monroe:

GGG
Cotto
Murray
Geale
Quillin
Lee
Saunders
Jacobs
N'Dam
Lemieux

There is no way you can justify Monroe being in the top 10 right now by beating Brian Vera.

I don't have too. The sanctioning bodies have already done it.

I would actually like to see Lara vs GGG. But how do we know he wants the fight?

Lara calls out everyone on twitter, chased Canelo, then didn't show up to fight. It's one thing to call out people and it's another to actually agree to a fight.

It goes the other way too: Haymon can always call GGG if he really wants Lara to fight him.

I just don't believe any of the public call outs. For example, Broner has been calling out everyone and fights bums. They're for show.

We won't know unless they try. Monroe called out GGG and they obviously called him back. Haymon has nothing to gain from Lara. He can fight whoever he wants.

Comparing monore and salka is borderline insane.

Both have no chance of winning yes...

But if you compare the chances against each other...

Salka had a higher ceiling to climb than monroe... who is fighting hin his own weight division...

example.... its like monroe moving up to fight kovalev.

There is a clear, distinct difference in circumstances for each mismatch fight. In each fight, both opponents have no chance to win.

There is huge difference in where they are ranked in the division and where they came form before the fight. That said, there is no difference between 0% and 0%.

Maybe this might be a blessing in disguise. Not comparing the two obviously, but if GGG handles a tricky southpaw relatively easily, then maaybe, HBO will give the green light for GGG/Lara. Whatever negativity they feel towards Lara might be alleviated when they see that Golovkin will offset any negative aspects of Lara's fighting.

Good thoughts.

I don't think people are faking knowledge of Monroe. I don't think so but we can agree to disagree on chances to win. Again, completely agree with your point about Salka.

I hope you are not so ****** as to ride with el blanco and dirk on that silliness. If you actually believe it, so be it.

Dunn, EVERYONE sees what you're about

And if they don't see it yet, they soon will.

I'm very pleased with Monroe/Golovkin!

It's earlier than I wanted for Monroe, but that's more for purposes of his name and not his abilities. He'll give Golovkin his first real test against a slick southpaw since Ian Gardner.

Willie's uncle upset Marvin Hagler back in the day, I'm sure he'll be aiming to repeat with a similar style.

It's just a way for the Big Dunn to make excuses for a Haymon fighter.

"Golovkin is doing the same thing! That means Danny isn't so bad guys, come on!"

You have to be a special kind of f@ggot to pull this and Dunn ticks the boxes.

[MrClutch85]

And I'm not praising Lara in this instance but he's openly stated that he wants the fight, he has championship experience and he's one of the 3 best fighters in his division. Willie Monroe is a prospect who just finished Boxcino.

But over the next several months he will be hyped in to this slick, tricky, master boxer southpaw.

lol Brian Vera was a step up fight for him
