MONKMAN Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 1 hour ago, sjc said: My thinking that GGG would more likely step up to SMW was more in relation to him running out of people willing to fight him in the MW division and that he criticised Canelo for fighting a WW..........which he's now doing. FWIW I think it'll be a good fight but can only see a win by KO/TKO for GGG. He criticised Canelo because yet again he wouldn't fight him after saying he would, but chose to fight Khan at a catchweight. GGG literally has no options as nobody will fight him, which is why he's fighting Brook at MW. He's said he wants to unify all the belts (currently missing the WBO that Saunders holds) and to break Hopkins record of 20 title defences, before he moves up. One of the best fighters of this generation, but some doubt his ability as nobody is willing to fight the guy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshmallo Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 I'm still in shock at Brook getting knocked for this on here. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boostin' Kev Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 I'd rather see Brook travel and take on a top 147 tbh and then we can learn something new about the division instead of another circus show so soon after Alvarez - Khan. Golovkin comes out of this looking worse though can't imagine why K2/HBO don't just sling Saunders whatever outrageous sum he's asking for so that Golovkin can finally move on to 168. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meth Damon Posted July 9, 2016 Author Share Posted July 9, 2016 I'm still laughing at that Eubank tweet, Ant&Dec ffs, "why the silence?" Moment of the year already sown up 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiGi Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Why is a champion v champion fight a bad thing? Sure one is a weight below but he looks like he could pretty handily make the step up. Can't be many negatives. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's 2 weights, and it's just frustrating that one of the best fighters around just now is having to fight welterweights because no one in his own division has the balls to face him 11 minutes ago, Fraser Fyvie said: Leeds card looking good.

Aye that's a decent looking card, Whyte and Nurse two good British level fights, boy Campbell is in against is no easy fight either 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshmallo Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 There's talk of Whyte vs Tarver in the near future, I like that fight if it materialises.Obviously if Whyte beats him then Tarver is over the hill and only over in the UK for a payday. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshmallo Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Tarver just drew with Cunningham and is still ranked #11 on Boxrec. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boostin' Kev Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 There's no doubt at all that Tarver is years beyond his prime and has been slung a paycheck to be a recognisable name on Whytes Boxrec page. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a 47 year old man who made his name over a decade ago at 175 and has fought 6 times this decade. This fight tells us nothing about Whyte unless he gets beaten. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshmallo Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Flight for me, but will be sure to tweet big Eddie before we leave when I'm in the airport bar.Hopefully be able to download Dickens vs Rigo to watch on the flight so I'm allowed to keep posting in this thread. Could do with the extra hour's sleep as well. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
