Comments Thread For: Gennady Golovkin-Willie Monroe Jr. Set For May 16

Or he can establish himself as the undisputed, undefeated middleweight champion of the world and become only the third person in boxing history to achieve such a feat. Really he would be the first as Hopkins was not undefeated and Taylor beat Hopkins for the honour but did not win the individual titles himself. That is something no other fighter has done and which will make history. It would be nice to see history made in the ring instead of at the box office.

he's already the undisputed MW champ with or without the belts.

Everyone is mad about him fighting "lesser opponents", but what middleweights are calling him out or even saying his name. Cotto? HELL NO (he's not a 160 anyway) Sergio? (When he was champ) Chavez? Quillin?
No one at 160 can beat GGG, he offered to go down to fight Floyd, Canelo would get beat, Froch turned down the fight. He will have to move up at some point, if nothing else for a challenge and people will get sick of watching cattle being taken to the slaughter house.
Maybe someone in the fall will grow a pair and make the fight, the problem is GGG probably isn't paying enough for the beating you will take.

Willie Monroe: ‘I Will Shock The World On May 16’

GGG will have the same problem no matter what division he fights in. It will never be an easy thing to find 4 top level opponents per year and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. Algieri was hardly a challenge for Pacquaio and he only fights twice a year, if we are lucky. So what if GGG has two quality opponents per year and two keep busy, but still ranked, opponents per year? It's not like we are being asked to pay $70 on PPV to watch him fight is it? These fights are still better than anything we have seen on PBC or are likely to see in the near future. Don't like it? No problem! Don't watch it! I don't watch PBC because it is an insult to me as a boxing fan and to my intelligence in general by trying to pass that crap off as competitive fights.

4 top level opponents? How about starting with 1?

Don't know a damn thing about Monroe, but I think GGG will win by decision.

[SalimShady1212]

Golovkin in 8. The guy lost a SD vs Darnel freaking Boone lmao. He'll be tricky for the first few reasons before he gets ass****ed.

[mann187]

Anybody else think this will be GGG by decision? I think willie is good enough to last the 12 with his skillset

i really like the way Monroe fights after watching him in with Vera. he's a boxer, but one that throws a lot of punches. he doesn't just run non-stop like an N'Dam, or circle the ring and bore everyone in the arena a la Keith Thurman. he's a slick southpaw in the best sense of the word. he has little to no shot on Saturday, but i think he can make some noise in the future.

GGG should win by knockout. I don't know enough about Monroe but my guess is he wouldn't have been selected if he posed much of a threat.
