Gennady Golovkin’s next fight: Ryota Murata named as frontrunner for Japan bout

[Alpha]

Can’t blame a guy for getting paid but I would prefer a more talented opponent. Is what it is. If you all say it is exciting I will check it out on YouTube

With Charlo looking at Sulecki what is he supposed to do? Murata gets him a good payday, probably in front of millions, also gets him a belt to bring to negotiations.

With Charlo looking at Sulecki what is he supposed to do? Murata gets him a good payday, probably in front of millions, also gets him a belt to bring to negotiations.

He could show interest in a Charlo fight and see what happens. Charlo posted a picture of him and GGG a while back, further indications like the countless times he has said he wants GGG that he wants GGG. He could say he will drop the petition to avoid and take the eliminator. Maybe Charlo doesn’t really want GGG. We don’t know because he’s never had the option.

Or he can get paid. I don’t really care anymore. Sulecki just gave Jacobs fits. I’m intrigued by a Sulecki fight. We’ll have a better understanding of if Charlo is who we think he is.

Like I said, I’m not hating on GGG getting paid. Is Sulecki considered another eliminator? I don’t think the WBC will ever enforce his mandatory spot now that Canelo has the belt, I’m just curious.

Not sure if it's an eliminator or not, just a name I heard was in the mix, along with Monroe Jr previously. Charlo doesn't seem to be showing much interest in GGG either.

Personally I think Murata is a more talented opponent than Sulecki or Monroe Jr. He also holds a belt, will get GGG double the money and will bring a huge audience.

It’s not a real belt.

And I haven’t seen anything as impressive from Murata as the fight Sulecki gave Jacobs.

Maybe I’m remembering it wrong but my recollection was he gave him all he could handle.

Will watch it again now because I don’t trust my memory

No you are right that Sulecki gave Jacobs a tough fight. Doesn't mean he's better than Murata.

And the belt is real enough to bring to negotiations and put him right below Canelo's WBA belt.

You’re right. It doesn’t prove anything in regards to Sulecki vs Murata. Just saying between the 2 the best performance I have seen is Sulecki’s loss to Jacobs. But I rate losses higher than most. I think getting in with a top guy and performing at that level shows far more than destroying lesser fighters.

Edit-getting frustrated I can’t find that fight

Murata fought the solid N'Jikam twice, he should have won both. Jacob's is obviously the better of the 2 opponents but Murata is a very decent fighter.

Here we go:
