Mentioning or implying Cotto and Sylvester are similar situations is embarrassing

Geale twice travelled to Germany. Beating reigning champions Sylvester & Sturm in "their own backyard" and where "people didn't think Geale would the get the benefit of the doubt" and Geale returned with both their titles.

That you don't seem to value those two performances by Geale is embarrassing.

He needed the benefit of the doubt because they were both close fights, I had Sturm beating him 115-113.

Yeah there was a real backlash in Germany about previous robberies last 20yrs against American and English fighters that the judges seemed to be uneasy about giving Sturm the decision against Geale.... That fight was close and i also had Sturm nicking it but the judges thought they better finally throw the Western world a bone. Sylvester was and is a B level fighter so that win doesn't count. Imagine what a prime Mundine wouldvé done to Sylvester?

Geale's wins in Germany over Sylvester & Sturm were great achievements and netted him the IBF & WBA titles respectively.

Those wins also proved he has the capacity to travel and win title fights in other fighter's "own backyards."

He fell short against GGG, but so has everybody else.

Agreed, Sylvester went on to get KO'd by Proska in his next fight.

What a load of crap. To go to Germany and get the decision against any of their world champs is an outstanding effort. Daniel did it twice. Sturm is a quality fighter and Daniel did enough to win that fight. Sylvester was a decent enough fighter to hold one of the better versions of the world title and Daniel beat him. Some people just find it difficult to commend people on excellent efforts. Are the same people going to call Cotto a shot fighter should Daniel beat him - probably.

Proksa was 25-0 at the time and went on to fight GGG a year later.

Most think Geale just got Sturm at the right time. Sturm was done.

these people r called haters.

the internet is full of them unfortunately.

So you think Sturm was at the peak of his powers ?

Sturm then lost to Soliman which should spell it out to you that he was done. He lost to SOLIMAN.

when someone focus' purely on only the 'negative' of a fighter non-stop, they r simply haters.

problem is they r the only ones who refuse to acknowledge it.

Sturm was never any good anyway, his claim to fame was losing to a fat out of shape blown up Welterweight Delahoya.

Soliman has 44 wins too. When he fought Sturm the first time Soliman hadn't been beaten in 5 years. When he fought Sturm the second time Soliman hadn't been beaten in 6 years. Just the other half of the story for some balance

Word "hate/haters" is the most common word used in forums & schoolyards. This joint can live without it. Thanks

"Opinions" would be a more appropriate word.

All forums need them for a balanced view

Daniel Geale sure looks like fairly good value at $4.00.

I'm taking a quinella

opinions or hate?

what do u call it when someone states constantly only negative things about a boxer in every thread, but never one positive thing about them, even after beating the odds time and again?

cotto is supposedly cherry picking and the fight is a stay busy fight and cooto is in a different league to daniel, but geale should be able to win cause cotto is only a welter weight and should not be fighting at this weight, lol.

Ignore their post & just post your opinion. In other words stop whinging 'cos it's giving me the shites

REALLY ? That many Kel.

Daniel Geale's comments from a recent interview with Fairsy & Jules on Launceston Radio :

"Very confident going into the fight. We understand it's going to be a tough fight against a guy that's going to be a future Hall of Famer. He's fought the best and I'll need to stick to my game plan".

"I'll have the whole crowd against me. He's been in big fights. Hard fights, and taken a lot of punishment, and he's there for the taking."

"I've put in all the hard training and I'm ready".

Out of the 2 of you, who sucks who's D"#k?

Never seen 2 guys follow each other around, back slapping each other, after always creating an angry mob.

Same person perhaps, on different IP address's, or just really, "really" enjoy each others company?

Soliman has 7 loss's less then Sugar Ray.....No, please don't retort with that they're not in the same league, it's obvious the win/loss/draw section of a fighters profile influences your decision on who can and can't fight.

Are we in another forum, is this Boxrec or ESB?
