      Lem v GGG is very likely, it gives GGG a easy unification, gives Cotto some time to make up his mind and gives GGG his most relevant opponent in a while.

        You should be thankful for HBO who have Pacquaio, Klitschko, Golovkin, Canelo, Kovalev, Cotto, Roman, Crawford, Fury, Matthysse, Ward (potentially), Walters, Lomochenko, Lemieux.

        PBC has Mayweather (for 1 fight), Thurman, Garcia, Lara, Stevenson, Khan, Porter, Quillen, Wilder, etc.

        Besides Mayweather and Khan, which fighters for PBC are stars? Wilder may have potential but i see him getting KTFO against real competition. Thurman can be a star but it's clear when you compare lists of fighters HBO has the real stars.
        PBC is still in its infancy so idk why people keep **** measuring rosters. HBO has been around since Ali was fighting. PBC has been around since Prince Patel has been fighting.

        Of course HBO has the more impressive roster. I do think if PBC is able to learn, improve & grow (as HBO was able to do when they first got in the boxing business) & not go out of business through net losses (which I think are overblown, but who knows except PBC's accountant) or lawsuits in 2 or 3 years we can compare rosters & it'll be more competitive or PBC will have the upperhand. Bottom line for how long PBC has been around there roster is incredible & just going to get better from most indications.

          Good. I wouldn't wait until next year for it. GGG is getting no where with his career and before you know it, he's OLD.

            This would be a nice solid win over a young champion coming off of a good win himself and y'all will be posting up a storm about how he's a cab driver and how GGG ain't gettin any younger.

            Also might catch this if it's at MSG.

Mannix in particular says that there are real talks ongoing, and the money is there to make it happen; it's just a matter of Lemieux himself saying he wants to take the fight.

              Can you imagine this and Cotto/Canelo in the span of a month? And the fact that Klitschko/Fury, Lomachenko/Rigondeaux (maybe), Matthysse/Postol etc. are all within a relatively short space of time? Seems like the last half of the year might be enough to wash this awful PBC taste out of our mouths.

                    Is Ward signed with ODLH?

                    This was about GBP as I'm aware...............................

                      There are plenty of fighters Ward can fight: Degale, Dirrell's, Groves.

                      GGG has the opportunity to unify the division if he fights Lemieux next as he is already set to fight the winner of Cotto/Canelo
