Comments Thread For: Daniel Geale Says Retirement is Not an Option

[The Problem Child]

Give it up dude. You suck after Gennady beat the prime out of you. He faced you as a top fighter and ended you as a shot destroyed fighter.

[TRTboy]

He has quit in his last two fights lol. it's clear this guy cant take it anymore. Move the **** on and stop embarrassing yourself.

[jjsmyth87]

Hes definitely embarrassed himself as of late, however I don't think he should retire. If he really wants to get back to the top he'd hire a better s and c coach. Its obvious from past fights he has alot of natural ability but its also obvious he has almost no muscle compared to most middleweights and it seems he just showed up for a check against ggg and cotto. He needs to regroup and refocus like Brandon Rios did and train harder and try to build a little muscle and i think he has some good years left in him

[lets rumble]

he told the ref he could not continue in his last 2 fights in the states....
the guy is a quitter....
my way of thinking is he NEEDS to retire

[SugarRayCurtain]

thought he did better against GGG than Cotto
he landed flush shots against GGG but had no power

GGG and Cotto are clearly are in a class of their own, no shame in losing to those guys. He can fight lesser comp as hes still decent

No shame in losing to golovkin and cotto

[PETUFF]

Don't retired just go to the heavy weight division and try luck there!

[GoldenGloveLove]

When he shook his head to the ref in Golovkin I thought okay this guy doesn't have his legs and knows it. I understand. But against Cotto he just looked like he gave up because he was frustrated and embarrassed. He doesn't need anymore big fights whether he wants to retire or not. I was really disappointed in what it looked like he did to me there. Because I rated Geale.

He can make some money fighting Mundine again and even Soliman, Dawson and Sherrington.

Mundine will get owned again, like he did the first TWO times.

He did do better against GGG as Gennady didn't mak the guy starve himself half to death, straight off of the scales Danny was onto the nutrional drinks right there. It's there for all to see, he looked dreadful on the scales. He took mimimal damage in a fight where he quite clearly lost the first three rounds before being dropped twice, his punch output was about 8x times lower than it usually is, now anyone try tell me the weight didnt effect his performance, please I'm begging you.

Laugh it up. y'all can b1tch and cry he quit and turned up to get paid, but tell me the last boxer who didnt turn up to get paid in any fight, most fighters don't even turn up unless they're getting paid x amount, take into account a boxer and his career is short, Geale is at the tail end of his career and is an established ppv entity back home, at what point does he have to put himself through a war 5 points down after four rounds and fighting at less than 60% because his body had been depleted of energy due to the demands of a guy desperate to emulate the success of GGG.

Their is absolute zero to achieve putting yourself in a scenario that echoes that of guys like Provodnikov, Froch and Gatti etc etc, face first defences, look at those guys in 15-20 years and try tell me Geale was a puzzy for quitting, when the guy is still as sharp as a razor at 70 and is able to enjoy the fruits of his riches. Geale could have continued, he admitted he wasn't 100 percent and was too many down, having minimal success against a guy better on the day, have the rematch at their natural weights, yknow the weights designated by the governing bodies, I know who'll be laughing then.

Cotto fans can get excited all they like for their guy defeating a guy looking like a prune on the scales, the victory really is an hollow one, and certainly one I would not be shouting about was I a Cotto fan.

Nah retirement ain't an option but going back to the root and getting a better trainer is a definite...
What a ******ed gameplan he set to beat Cotto, he clearly has all the assets to soundly outbox Cotto but he never once displayed it because he was too busy trying to be the bully in that fight against the shorter man and slower guy he was playing into every advantage of Cottos...
Instead of looking at how easily Trout schooled him he decided to try and beat Cotto in an entirely different fashion which was never in his type of style, dumb, very dumb!
