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

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.

If anything he should be sparring Monroe in preparation for Lara. Not fighting him on HBO championship boxing.

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.

I'm not riding with anyone, just replying to your posts as they come.

You bring up salka in a thread that has zero relevance or comparability to the Salka Garcia fight.

It's obvious that you have an agenda here.

I'm not agreeing with the fight, but he had a fight scheduled for this time so he had to choose someone and as we know, a lot of others were already booked for something else. As I said, hopefully this is HBO just testing the waters for a possible Lara clash.

Why is this fight in LA?? Hes fighting a black guy from NY (western NY) and GGG has fought in MSG before. This fight should be in NYC. I could understand if it was a mexican opponent but...whatever

He did the same with Pacquaio-Algieri and a few other fights if I remember correctly.

There are fighters who are in a position of strength to pick their opponent (due to marketing, nationality, etc.) such as:

Floyd, Pac, Canelo, Cotto, Garcia, etc.

There are others who are not and therefore must subject themselves until there is a chance to fight one of the above:

RiGod and GGG are the top examples

We hold the ones in the first line to a higher standard because they can pick. The ones below we hope one day make the big jump and leverage (the A side stuff). GGG is not there yet.

Rigo, GGG and Ward are placed into the elite category but they are scared of greatness. They are content with staying in their divisions and taking what's given to them.

Mayweather and Pacquiao handled business and then moved up in weight to seek new challenges. They have fought guys 15-20 pounds bigger on fight night.

That's why Mayweather and Pacquiao have the ability to pick and choose who they fight. Because they chased greatness, not wait for it to come to them.

Its very expensive to rent the Garden and i think he is bigger than the Theater at the Garden.

I know. It's not the first time I've seen him bring it up.

He is desperate for a fight to made worse than Salka, just so he can say "LOOK GARCIA SALKA ISN'T THAT BAD AFTER ALL GUIZE!"

Big Dunn isn't a wordsmith. He's trying to make a distinction with intelligence and ignorance at the same time.

Just stop.

Heiland, Monroe, Johnson....it doesn't matter. GGG destroys all three.
