Re: GGG is going to fight Marco Antonio Rubio
I cannot say I am very impressed. You are 32, GGG with 4 years left...maybe....go for the big fights now! What are you waiting for?

Re: GGG is going to fight Marco Antonio Rubio
I wish there were more fighters like Rubio who will fight anyone, anywhere and anytime. He never needed to even take this fight. He could fight somebody else and wait for the mandatory shot with Cotto which will be after Cottos next fight. He;s wise in that he knows Cotto will most likely bolt and retire first or find a way to usurp the system and fight another major cash fight so he decided to accept a fight with the bogeyman.I'd also wager that the other two so-called champions would never fight Rubio either so props to the Kazak for taking a guy he never needed to fight.

Are the big boys just unwilling to fight GGG?

Re: GGG is going to fight Marco Antonio Rubio
Solimon is fighting Taylor. Cotto either Lee or another 154 fighter for the 160 belt. Quillin fighting Korobov who is decent but hasnt looked particularly good in his latest fights. This pretty much answers your question.Originally Posted by Beanflicker

For someone to man up and agree to fight him. What's he supposed to do ?

Re: GGG is going to fight Marco Antonio Rubio
At least ggg is keeping active unlike many other fighters in his position. Usually people in his position wait for a big fight and fight maybe once a year. None of the bigger names want to fight him so he is taking out the next best while he waits. You can't fault him for that.

Re: GGG is going to fight Marco Antonio Rubio
We all want to see the titles unified but different promoters, TV networks and avoiding there is nothing a champion can do but keep busy and defend against the best available fighters.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

Sulaiman: Golovkin-Rubio Winner in Line For Cotto - Boxing News
Its a belt unification fight as Rubio has the interim WBC belt, and the winner will go on to fight Cotto.

Re: GGG is going to fight Marco Antonio Rubio
If Cotto takes a voluntary defense in December, his stated goal is to fight Canelo next year. One can never be certain, especially with the "wretched WBC," but I doubt they'll force Cotto to face GGG when there is the possibility of sanctioning fees on a Canelo-Cotto fight.

Re: GGG is going to fight Marco Antonio Rubio
I can't see that happening. Either cotto will find a loop hole in the whole mandatory situation or he will just drop the belt. Cotto doesn't need nor does he want ggg.

Re: GGG is going to fight Marco Antonio Rubio
Rubio has lost a lot of fights. I don't see what he has to offer at all. GGG needs big fights and at 32 he is good at staying busy and adding filler, but I expect more. I don't buy the excuse that noone will fight him.For someone to man up and agree to fight him. What's he supposed to do ?

Re: GGG is going to fight Marco Antonio Rubio
I think Cotto has balls and after a voluntary and fighting Saul he will take on GGG later 2015.I can't see that happening. Either cotto will find a loop hole in the whole mandatory situation or he will just drop the belt. Cotto doesn't need nor does he want ggg.

Rubio fails every time he steps up!
Chavez
Pavlik
His last 5 opponents have like 40+ losses between them.
Terrible.
