Why are people trying to down play Gary 'Spike' O'Sullivan

[Eff Pandas]

I like Spike, but yea I've been downplaying him vs GGG cuz while I like him I think him vs the #1 or #2 guy in the world at 160 is f#cking nuts & a bs fight.

Respect on what Spike's been doing, but I think he's more lined up with the likes of Rosado or Austin Trout for example than one of the two best guys at 160. He's a heavy bag vs that caliber guy.

hes straight up trash but again i ask who do people want ggg to fight on short notice? People make out as if hes got a prime marvin hagler ready to step in or something. fact is spike is probably ranked a hell of a lot higher than many other peoples stand in opponents.

Fight Andrade or Ramirez... live up to your bull***** your trainers been saying for 10 years now... (yeah right lol)

who have andrade and ramirez beat? just one name, no bull****.

[bluebeam]

his only 2 losses are to Saunders and Eubanks Jr, he is a hard hitter and a top level fighter

you told me who he loss to, now tell me who he beat. nobody

he is getting knocked out the minute golovkin starts touching him

I'm not interested

[bboy80]

He made Eubank Jr look like a great boxer. Enough said...

Basically this ^.

Spike is horrendous and will get ****** out instantly if he went in with ggg

That's the thing, people are debating that this guy is the #1 P4P fighter, and he's going to be choosing O Sullivan over Andrade?????

I don't even have a problem with GG being #1 P4P but not if he's going to go back to taking the path of least resistance. GG fighting Andrade might justify him keeping that spot for me but if you go 1 year with only a Canelo draw and a Spike win to show for it, I gotta say Loma is above you on the list.

Spike is getting downplayed, it wouldn’t even matter if he had stellar opposition in the past, bc Nobody is gonna replace Clenelo in popularity and sales. In a nutshell, peeps r gonna talk ish bc everyone wanted to see the rematch. IMO

[VatoMulatto]

O'Sullivan has absolutely no chance whatsoever and will get KO'd early. People want to see GGG against a top level opponent and O'Sullivan is just a a solid fighter. O'Sullivan will come to fight tho so it will be fun for as long as it lasts.

[PsychoPat]

He's a typical tough Irish man wears his heart on his sleeve powerful if limited brawler could be worse opponents, put it this way he'll put up more of a fight then wade did.

Andrade's risky, because he's known for pulling out of his biggest fights. Regardless of his reasons for doing so, it's still a bad look. Knowing this, I don't know why people are taking Andrade's call-outs so seriously. GGG needs an opponent now, or else he'll have to take even more time off, which is really bad at his age. Maybe, he doesn't wanna risk the May 5th date, by potentially wasting time failing at negotiating with Andrade. I don't wanna see GGG fight a bum either, but not many fighters are willing to fight on short notice, especially against an opponent of GGG's caliber.
