Who is GGG fighting in May?
Johnson is supposedly injured and Saunders doesn't want the fight. Canelo is the obvious choice but that fight is supposed to happen in September. I'm trying to think of middleweights that are available and at least decent.
Jacobs is a decent one but that fight seems to be a better future fight at the moment. Jacobs needs another 2 or 3 figts to show he is legit to make it a big fight rather than GGG just taking him out easily now. The only other person I can think of is Lee who just lost to Saunders. He is a decent fighter and is probably the best stay busy fight at the moment while he waits for canelo.

Re: Who is GGG fighting in May?
Eubank Jr. he fancies his chances!:rolleyes:
-
Re: Who is GGG fighting in May?
I did think about that fight too but I can't imagine they would put him with GGG at this point. At least Saunders has a belt to unify. Eubank will just be a sacrificial lamb which isn't good at this point in his career.

Re: Who is GGG fighting in May?
Jacobs will fight Quillin again.
GGG could fight Andy Lee, that would be entertaining.
-
Re: Who is GGG fighting in May?
It wont be entertaining for Lee. He'll do well to make it out the 2nd round.

Re: Who is GGG fighting in May?
With Eubanks Jr. having strong whiskers it would be a interesting fight .

That's why I'd like to see the fight.

You like watching a beating? That would be too brutal. Watching Murray getting smashed was bad enough.

Yes I do indeed but only for people who deserve it

Re: Who is GGG fighting in May?
Golovkin-Jr would be a close fight if the old man could be warped back into his 90s self so they could fight him at the same time.

I hear Brock is in training. He didn't get banned after all!

Re: Who is GGG fighting in May?
It is an appalling division right now, isn't it? A case where nobody is likely to beat Golovkin so the other guys may as well just face each other. Sucks because now you don't even really have a top fighter at 168 Golovkin could set his sights on. Do people really see Canelo-GGG as much of a fight, or at all likely?

Honestly, I wish they could just fight in May so that GGG can take what is the "real" title then move up. I didn't mind him staying at middle but its getting to the point to where there really is nobody.
-
Re: Who is GGG fighting in May?
I really do like that ggg stays busy even when people duck him he just keeps on Fighting and stays busy. I think the Ginger will give him some problems and not to mention the kid showed he can box and he has a beard think fight is closer then people think it is.
-
Re: Who is GGG fighting in May?
I dont think its appalling. Its like the heavyweights. It seems bad because there is such a standout fighter in it.
-
Re: Who is GGG fighting in May?
Mw is good because ggg is doing his thing with out him the division been pretty poor. The fight with Canelo and ggg is the only mw fight i looked forward to since Talyor and Pavlik fought. Man the board was a live back then and everyone was either whining about it or bragging there guy won.

Re: Who is GGG fighting in May?
GGG was at the West Ham game on Saturday. Although it wont happen next they must have been in talks with Warren about doing the Billy Joe fight there.

That is a good sign. I think Saunders can make some real big money against GGG.

Re: Who is GGG fighting in May?
Why do you care about the dough Billy Joe makes? You're the first person to start crying when you don't get served everything for freeeeeee!!!

. Any of these three would better than the stiffs GGG is building his reputation on

Re: Who is GGG fighting in May?
So apparently it's Dominic Wade.....
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zjuExr0gFaw
I tried watching this but can't be bothered as it's not good action. Seems like the guy is reasonably talented and quick, but lazy and without a big punch or much of an identity/awareness/whatever. He also has a promoter who doesn't put much stock in being undefeated, evidently:p
-
Re: Who is GGG fighting in May?
Watched a few rounds. Considering he was fighting Soliman, a man that makes every fight god-awful, he looked pretty solid. He fights taller than 5'10 and looks like he has some reach (I checked - 5' over GGG).
-
Re: Who is GGG fighting in May?
Mw has always been kinda of a lack luster division for the most part i mean Hopkins, Hagler and Carlos best wins were guys that were moving up division at that weight. Mw just never had that much star power and did not have same king of boxing as the hws with the size they had.
-
Re: Who is GGG fighting in May?
Don't know who GGG will be fighting in May. It definitely won't be Canelo, as Canelo has turned his attention toward Khan. Fans wanting a GGG-Canelo to materialize may have to wait quite a while, as Canelo's sure to go through the welterweight division, at some weight to which they might be willing to bloat up to.

So after Canelo fights khan, will he fight Crawford next?

Easy nights work for Golovkin. Watched this live and had to bleach my eyes after, think Soliman could have nicked it on the cards with little controversy. Al Haymon is sending this kid into the meat grinder feet first.
-
Re: Who is GGG fighting in May?
Yeah from what I saw it seemed like Wade was the better fighter but just not making the fight. Appreciate that Soliman is an octopus and tough guy to face, but he's also old and was coming off that big knee injury and loss to the ghost of Jermain Taylor, plus he's lost to every really good fighter he's ever been in with. Hardly the type to prepare you for GGG.

LOL.
On the 1% chance Khan presented problems to Canelo..... why not?
You keep going down the weight divisions until you find someone who bloated or not cannot possibly have the power to test your chin nor take your own middleweight punch.
Sounds like a failsafe strategy to me.

Re: Who is GGG fighting in May?
This next fighter kinda shows that the depth at the weight class is as lacking as ever. I mean like said early whos Haglers best wins Duran and Hearns, Hopkins at mw Tito and Oscar, GGG best opponent will be Canelo in September. You think that a weight class that is more peoples weight would have more talent but man Mw talent is worse then the heavyweights there is GGG then no one else. I will say that GGG got fucked in waiting but at least he fighting although the more look at his opponents the more i see how much talent this division has lacked over the years just plain bad.

Re: Who is GGG fighting in May?
Now I've always stuck up for GGG, and I'm a fan of his, but I will not condone or defend this bullshit below from his promoter.
Golovkin's Promoter Confirms Interest in Bernard Hopkins Fight - Boxing News
This gives the anti GGG brigade all the ammunition they would need to feast on. I can hear it now.
1. they want to fight a 51 year old.
2. they want a 51 year old to come down in weight.
3. they want to go to 168lb for him , but not for others.
4. they're saying this is more box office than Andre Ward. (Yeah, I know they're using this to have a dig at Ward, and don't really believe it.)
GGG's promoter is a loud mouthed twat and doesn't do Golovkin any favours any time he opens his mouth. Yeah, I know it's all publicity, but it's bollocks.
I still like Golovkin as a bloke and a Boxer and I believe he wants the best guys out there.

I can understand why though. He can't get any big names and bhop although old, is a big name in boxing that will give him some sort of recognition.

Re: Who is GGG fighting in May?
Like i said before the talent in mw is just not there which is so weird because 160 to 180 there alot of guys that fit that size. I can understand hw not being as talented because people are not that big most of the time i have no idea why the talent at mw is GGG and some people moving up in class.
