Lol. I know. That's why I put up that bullshit flag under my post!

[_original_]

This crap again.


160 has Quillin, Lemieux, GGG, Canelo, and Cotto. All can make exciting fights with each other but not a single match up can be made at this point.

Let the fight build. Golovkin would destroy Lemieux and get almost no credit for it. Let Lemieux fight Johnson on HBO in Oct and come back next year and have another fight on HBO, then start talking GGG.


I like that Oscar took a page out of Peter Quillin's book by telling Golovkin to go up to SMW and fight Andre Ward!

Lemieux will fight Johnson and lose. That will destroy Lemieux as a money making fighter and he will never get a big money fight again. Then Johnson will say that GGG will have to wait because he passed over Johnson to fight Monroe. Johnson will fight someone else and lose and maybe that person will fight Golovkin. This should take about another year and a half or so.

the "mandatory " crap fishnets is spouting is nothing more than a smoke screen he said he wanted the best fighting the best when he fired that fat pig now we get this crap

Without Schaefer GBP will fail

Listen:? Richard Schaefer made GBP and ran GBP as a successful business in boxing. Firing Schaefer would be like throwing the Pilot out of a flying 747 jumbo jet at 20,000 feet in flight with no one to land the jet. Oscar isn't a business man as no mex is a business man outside of selling fruit or selling drugs or cutting grass or cleaning hotel rooms. Oscar is running GBP into the ground. Schaefer was the brains and Oscar was just the pretty face. GBP won't make it with haymon trying to destroy Oscar and GBP. Scheafer is laughing at the mex Oscar.

He has to fight his mandatory next. But till Oscar talks to his manager, they don't know who the mandatory is going to be.

lol, Oscar stating Lemieux will fight GGG next year is like saying, relax guys, David just won the belt and we want to make some money off him before he gets blown away into obscurity.

Honestly, Lemieux does have a punchers chance... Have faith Golden Boy, have faith.

Wait,I might not have the best reading comprehension,but did Oscar say that they'd look at their options as to lemieux's next fight? Is it a mandatory,or a voluntary defence? Because if its a mandatory like dlh is spouting,then there's only one mandatory and that's the one that is highest ranked in the ibf. If they're looking at different options, its a voluntary defence,and a clear duck of ggg.

He has to fight his mandatory next. But till Oscar talks to his manager, they don't know who the mandatory is going to be.
