Golovkin/Lemieux in October? Hearing it's possible.

Why not Ward?? he says he wants the fight NOW!!!

Obviously Ward isn't a middleweight and this fight with Lemieux would be a middleweight unification fight, which has been a goal of Gennady for some time now.

[AgainstTheRopes]

Even as a Ward fan, Id have no issue with GGG taking Lemieux next. It could be a very fun fight and gives GGG the unification bout he so wants.

HBO nuthuggers are funny. Matthysse-Postol wets their pants. That fight is meaningless.

How so? an undefeated top 10 boxer fighting the #1 boxer for a world title on neutral ground.

There are more meaningful fights in the division to be made, but I don't think you can argue it's meaningless.

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.

Didn't they grab most of showtimes guys.... who in turn grabbed them when they were fighting on HBO?

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.

How many of the names on HBO's slate are still bankable by the end of 2016? Pacquiao is on his way out, as it Cotto and Klitschko isn't all that far behind them. (Golovkin being 35 by that point should also raise some looks)

PBC loses Mayweather but likely keeps everybody else, with fighters like Errol Spence Jr, Abner Mares, the Charlo brothers, Carl Frampton and Hearn's Brit contingent, and other young talent stepping into the void.

HBO is on the wrong side of the next talent flush, with the PBC model set to also clean up the top amateur talent coming out of the coming 2016 Olympics. Would hold off on the gloating for a bit.

Funny how that wasn't the sale's pitch when Postol was in line to fight Danny 'Swift' Garcia.

Thats not a bad fight

An upset is certainly possible in that one

Yea, it was more "Danny stop ducking your mandatory and fight Postol."
People wanted that fight and want this one.

[Vasyl’s dad]

If you see all of these fights (we will be lucky to see two of them), you should thank the PBC for forcing HBO to step up its game.

HBO has classic fights under its banner. You can't name one from PBC.
