They should put this on PPV. It's boxing so I'm buying!

Sadly i probably would.

Undercard seems to be pretty good

still ducking mora i see

What about David Lemieux?

He's fighting N'dam. Everyone at MW seemed to book in a hurry without looking at GGG, I guess the usual "it will be bigger in a year" logic.

As for Cotto, he's just scared. I don't accuse boxers of cowardice very often but lets be real here, he has ZERO intention of defending that belt, he hasn't even humored it.

Wtf!!! you just beat up Martin Murry a good well known opponent a top 10 mw,now your gonna fight Willie monroe jr??? Thought you're trying to move forward not backwards...I wouldn't even consider this a stay busy fight!!! Ggg stops him in 3...

He fights a guy who can punch in Stevens and people complain that Stevens wasn't a slick fighter. Now he fights a slick fighter in Monroe and people are complaining he can't punch...

they want ggg to fight a slick fighter with great defense who can also score one punch knockouts....aka no one....or aka sergio the latin snake!

You might be right,but the way you presented your argument and then changed it to the ever winning ''whatever'' is what makes you look,well,not too bright.
It is established that the fighters you are comparing are nothing alike,nobody here ever said Salka was brave,and their rankings,are way off.
Salka had no chance in life,no punchers ,no nothing..as to whats his face ,he has a little chance.

I'm not sure what you mean. I think you are saying you think Monroe has more of a chance then Salka did. I don't but we can agree to disagree.

Froch has shown little interest, and he's waiting on Ward or Chavez now. Count him out, too.

It's not about the style. It's about the quality of fighter. Who cares if he's a brawler or if he's slick? He's ranked #18 in a weak division.

People are quick to blast Al Haymon for making mismatches but jump through hoops to defend this one.

A **** fight is a **** fight. Just because you like the guy that's fighting doesn't mean you have to defend everything he does.

Anyone would look good fighting guys like GGG does, he needs to step it up . Fight cotto or canelo or lara, he never will because he gets his ass beat by lara.
