Comments Thread For: Geale: Golovkin Needs an Opponent Like Me To Be Elite

[Citizen Koba]

Just to clear up something for the non Australians who arent really into the Aussie boxing scene, Geales 2 previous opportunities to fight GGG were never ducks, there was a grudge match against his arch rival Anthony Mundine who had handed him his only defeat up to that point, wanting to avenge that loss in one of the biggest boxing events in Australian boxing history is not a duck of GGG but revenge on Mundine with big bucks to be made, that was a smart decision. Another smart decision is not fighting GGG when it clashes with the UFC PPV event, Geale is someone who despite his success, still isnt a household name in Australia, it would have done him no favors at all. Besides, what difference does it make, then or now, Geale is asking for the fight, there is no reason why it cant be made, i think GGG is the best MW in the world and will beat geale, i think Geale should get some respect for wanting to fight him.

Yeah, it's disappointing that Geale - GGG hasn't been made yet, but Geale has ben candid about the reasons and they are fairly legitimate (though the UFC clash one wouldn't really wash a second time - sometimes fights just can't be televised live in a fighters home country).

Certainly Geale seems willing to fight now however, and I just hope that he hasn't missed out on the fight cos HBO already has other plans in the pipeline.

I think what bothers some posters is that there are claims being made by some that GGG is ducking Geale however, which is clearly absurd given the history of the situation.

Geele?

Nope never heard of him

So in April we have Lee, maybe August Geale and hopefully around December we will get the Martinez fight, that would be an awesome year for GGG.

This looks fairly probable ^. And I'm good with it if it works out that way, though I'm a little puzzled why there's been no Andy Lee announcement yet.

Sad thing is apparently there were negotiations for GGG - Froch before the Groves mando thing came up...but hell, I'm good with Groves - Froch II.



There's also been mention by Arum of the possibility of GGG - Jr, which would take priority over Geale one would assume. As of right now however Lee - Geale - Maravilla seems more likely (with the possibility of Kirkland if one of these falls through).

Geale's the best fight (outside of Maravilla) to be made for GGG at 160, IMO (-alongside Sturm and Quillin which ain't happening). I rank Geale just a touch ahead of the Brit / Irish MWs.

Geale has an excellent workrate, decent enough speed and a lot of heart but GGG will destroy him. He is a step up, I'll give him some credit for this but I ultimately expect GGG to break the chinny mediocre Geale, in to a dozen pieces.

He may have some moderate success with his in and out style but he will get hit at some point and my lawd will that glass he has been hiding quite well lately shatter.

It was an obvious bullshit on the scorecards. Just like Dirrell-Golovkin etc.

Elite black boxer can't be beaten by white fighter unless it's rigged.

Am not a racist just stating the fact like it is.

Geale didn't turn it down.

U should check the shit out correctly before talking crap on him again.

His nickname is a Real Deal. He's not a clown but Golovkin is.

He's ready to smash Triple Duck. Just provide him that opportunity not ultimatum.

Golovkin's team has started to do the same shit that Klichko's team has been yet doing for years.

U're probably too ****** to get it.

Like "Marquez will fight Pacquiao"?

And u're talking to me that way again?

Don't type me anymore.

U exposed urself.

Fuckoutta here bitch.

U don't know shit about boxing.

Absolutely right, this is not funny anymore.

Now translate that shit to the guy off your picture.

I hope you know some russian because i know it a little bit.

If he goes through them and wins em all that would be fighter of the year pretty easily

Geale is chinny?

[Daddy T]

Geale is chinny?

he doesn't like GGG so he's gotta find something negative about his potential opponents ... geale is chinny, martinez will be past it etc.

[Hougigo]

Also, I don't see Martinez fighting Golovokin this year unless the WBC softened their stance on unification. Hopefully the son is a reasonable person. As for Rubio... the only way to override a mando is a unification.

[dan_cov]

Geale is chinny?

Well given the fact hes hit the deck around a dozen times and is getting buckled almost everytime out against non punchers would strongly suggest so.
