Name a fighter that has dared to be great, and it paid off huge?!?!

[Easy Work.]

Monroe is probably the most quickest slick style fighter GGG's has faced. He really can win, but golovkin has the edge

Monroe ain't daring to be great. He's just poorly managed and being fed to the wolves. All professional fighters dare to be great.

All pro fighters do? If that was the case, why isnt there a line out the door of prospects wanting to fight GGG? I'll tell you why, great risk, low reward.

u know who really dared to be great??? rod salka.

That and I think he's the only guy besides Rosado that isnt going to just go in and lay down for some $. Great opportunity for a prospect but RISKY as hell.

This is high reward for Monroe. He's moved from Boxcino to HBO World Championship Boxing. He's making more money than he ever has.

lmao, you got me there. But he wasnt a prospect, he didnt risk a potentially good career, he was like ranked 60 in his division. If he were top 20, than hell yeah!

I totally get that, but think about it this way, he's a prospect that if he kept winning winnable fights, he couldve got on an HBO undercard, signed with Haymon etc. This dudes probably going to get brutalized and GGG's opponents are not making stacks.

Coming into this weekend, we have a guy named Willie Monroe Jr. who is a nobody to most (no disrespect) and he is challenging one of the most fearsome guys in boxing today. Personally, I think its a bad management move because he does have potential and a guy like GGG could shorten his career, but you got to give a guy props that anxiously steps up at a chance to get some glory when not to many people are lining up to do so.

Name a boxer who beat all odds (besides Buster Douglas) & that took a chance with his career and it paid off HUGE?

By the time he met Buster Douglas in the ring, Mike Tyson had fought the best fighters in the heavyweight division and beating them all -- most by KO. He was the most popular fighter in the world at the time as well as one of, if not the best fighter at that time.

GGG is a nobody with a very limited following who has beaten a bunch of tomato cans He avoids the best fighters available to him while calling out much more popular, but smaller boxers to fight him and give him a big payday. To compare him to Tyson is an insult to Tyson and all the great fighters of this era and past eras who have regularly fought the best fighters available.

GGG is calling out Mayweather while he is in the process of preparing to fight a guy who is barely on the level of a Mayweather sparring partner. GGG is a joke and probably will be for the rest of his career, especially if he continues to fight sparring partners like Willie Monroe.

Monroe has nothing to lose. He is not daring to be great. Golovkin and Ward moving up in weight to fight Ward and Kovalev respectively would be a good example of boxers daring to be great.
