Who should Geale fight next?

[D J Pawsey]

Well who does he fight next?? GGG is his WBA mandatory almost certain that fight would head a HBO bad program. Macklin is with Dibella and has fought on HBO in his last few fights could be a good introduction to USA market. I think Chavez will be unavailable for a while after testing positive to pot. Martinez broke his hand and is having minor knee surgery. He will be out for at least 6 months. Sam is his ibf mandatory. Who do you think he should fight hounddawg?

Why does Macklin need to be mentioned with Geale??????

I personally think Macklin needs a very credible win first.... washed up Alcine and Asikainen are his only notable wins and were both long in the tooth when he's fought them. When ever at the top level he's fallen short. Convincing victory over Alcine, fighting a bloke who's won 1 out of his last 3 doesn't keep tounges wagging.

Geale has a pretty decent resume now, in fact the 2nd best in the division atm,he should keep building on this with defences of his belts until Sergio is back and fit, then step up to him.

Let Golovkin get at least 2 more decent victories, before he earns the right, his best win was Proska, and we never really got to see where he was going, as GGG smashed and probably crippled his career. I really think this is going to be the biggest test for Geale.

Don't get me wrong, Macklin would look nice on the record of Geale, however in years to come it will be worth nothing and look like a easy defence to those learning the sport.

can't see the chavez fight happening after roach's degrading comments regarding geale. i know belts and money can change peoples views when it suits them, but i don't think it will happen.

What did Roach have to say?

What did Roach have to say?

Something along the lines of Geale couldn't draw 3 people in the US.

[buster007]

that he was a nobody, wouldn't draw 10 people to watch etc.

although geale is no superstar and won't sell out wembley stadium, it was below the belt imo.

as a prominent fighter u don't say that about a potential future opponent if u want to get a big income from it. he may just need the geale fight in the future now that he was bashed by martinez.

Options,
Martinez and Chavez both look unlikely at this point.
Golovkin is an option, as is Soliman.
Mundine, macklin, sturm rematch, barker, quinnlan, Pirog
Middleweight is packed at the moment, there are a lot of potentially awsome fights.

Roach has been wrong before.

[buster007]

very very recently too.

he looks silly from more than just the geale comments lately.

[rivergum razor]

doesn't he have an obligation to fight Soliman as he has the mandtory number 1 spot?

[Brute]

That is his IBF mandatory. He has until December for that fight, it could probably be delayed.

It is looking more and more likely it will be Soliman.

Let's not rush things. Geale's last fight was only about a month ago.
