Thread: GGGs mission to clean out MW

Rumor is his next opponent will be #46 rated MW in the world Tureano Johnson May 16th.

Let the excuses for this sham fly

Don't know that I would call it an "excuse", it's a stay busy fight until someone/anyone will fight him. Cotto won't mention his name and Lee is fighting Quillin. Who would be acceptable in your opinion? I just don't get the GGG hate from some on here...

until someone good will fight him? I will fight that piece of crap any day at 160. BBB destroys GGG

I knew Taureno Johnson would have been up next when we considered the dance card for GGG....

Johnson got ROBBED in that Stevenson fight... Johnson has a good amateur background... almost blue chip amateur background.... is willing to fight.... mature... plus he is durable.

Also, it's not that Johnson wants to fight, but who else is out there that wants to fight GGG at MW:
Miguel Cotto-- doesn't want the fight now.
Sergio Martinez-- is in rehab and semi-retirement and odds are he does not fight again, let alone fight GGG.
Peter Quillin-- does not want the fight and is already engaged.
Daniel Jacobs-- has a fight coming up in April.
Hassan N’Dam-- has a fight coming up soon.
Jermain Taylor-- just a waste of time and may be side-lined again due to his own stupidity.
Marco Antonio Rubio-- was just destroyed by GGG.
Andy Lee-- would take the fight but already engaged.
Dmitry Chudinov-- just coming off of a loss to Eubank and really was not in play.
Sam Soliman-- still in rehab.
Felix Sturm-- engaged with a fight already.
Daniel Geale-- was just destroyed by GGG.
Martin Murray-- was just destroyed by GGG.
Billy Joe Saunders-- has not made a whimper since eaking out a win vs. Eubank.
David Lemieux-- already engaged with another fight.
Jermall Charlo- engaged with another fight.
Eubank Jr.- has just recently fought Chudinov, and could have been lined up but he obviously wants a rematch with Saunders and the winner of Lee/Quillin.
Patrick Nielson- does not want to fight outside of Finland. And if you are going to fight Nielson, then you may as well fight Johnson.

Sergio Mora- could have taken this fight.
Willie Monroe Jr- could have taken this fight. But he and Johnson are almost identically ranked by the WBC and the WBA. So you could have had either, plus Johnson is signed with Roc Nation and has had more exposure and a tougher fight schedule than Monroe- Johnson having fought Stevens, most notably.

Billy Joe Saunders is the only one out there and let me throw in Mora also.

I would destroy him.

Let GGG clean up the division and force the fight with Cotto.

If Cotto had any integrity he would fight GGG, but he won't because he knows he'll get destroyed. He picked on an old, crippled Martinez and has no interest in fighting at MW. He's hoping to lure Floyd into another fight, probably for his MW title.

The middleweight division is full of chumps because nobody is calling out GGG. He's one of the hottest guys in boxing right now, any prize fighter worth a shit should be falling over themselves to want to fight him, but because they are all scrubs GGG has to fight low ranked guys with nothing to lose. Instead of blaming GGG, how about we start putting pressure on these chumps to fight GGG?

That is harsh to say Cotto picked a crippled Sergio. At the time Cotto was the underdog and took the chance. Cotto deserves to get paid for taking the chance but he does then need to face GGG or relinquish the title.

Freddie Roach is one of the great opportunists in the sport. Manny was a huge underdog against DLH, but Roach wanted the fight because he had the inside info on DLH that he was washed up and, according to Roach "couldn't pull the trigger anymore", and was ripe for the picking. He saw the same thing in Sergio, a 40 year old champ with knee problems.

I give Cotto credit for being the one to dethrone him, but Sergio was a far cry from the guy who dominated MW for a few years. But in the end, Cotto saw some low lying fruit and grabbed it. He has no intentions of sticking at MW.

Cotto still executed Sergio perfectly.

He certainly did.

Now let's all get together and make the Puerto Rican fight the Kazak. Floyd is finally fighting Pac, now let's get some other guys to fight each other.

Cotto is a truly excellent fighter, and of course he is not 'scared' of anyone, but he is not really a middleweight.

I'd love to see Golovkin against Stanley Ketchell, Carlos Monzon and Marvin Hagler

What about a peak Sergio?
