I knew very little about Willie Monroe Jr when this fight was signed so I watched some fights online to try to get a feel for what kind of fight we'd be getting. After watching this kid, I'm officially worried about this fight for GGG. Willie has fast hands and super movement with endless stamina. I don't think that this fight is going to be crowd pleasing by any means because Willie sometimes sprints in the ring but he's got a style that will give GGG the toughest test to date IMO. Willie is too fast and fancy on his feet to cut off the ring on and with GGG's deficiency defensively, i can see Willie banking some rounds on GGG.

Willie has a 4" reach advantage, 5 years younger and a Southpaw who is very selective with his punches. Add the elusive factor and GGG has got a tough night ahead of him. GGG is my favorite boxer right now but i've got a real bad feeling tonight boys. I think GGG may lose this one. PREDICTION: Willie Monroe JR by split decision.

GGG vs Monroe is arguably even a bigger joke.

I doubt Monroe is more than a 42-1 underdog in this fight.

Monroe is 80/1 underdog. Besides, Buster could punch, which Monroe can't.

And I laugh at you now.

Monroe is a much better opponent than Molina. For his weight he's far more skilled and significantly faster, not to mention that he didn't get blown away in the first round in his only fight against a top 35 opponent, stopped in the first by a poor opponent before that, and dropped other times like Molina did. Admittedly Monroe isn't much of a puncher, but GGG's shown an excellent chin and there is no evidence of him ever being dropped or even hurt, so power isn't the way to beat him, but the speed and slickness that Monroe possesses may well be. Molina, on the other hand, doesn't do anything well relative to top 20 fighters and has already been iced twice in the first, making him suitable fodder for a much better opponent with loads of early stoppages.

Calm down Sparky. I ONLY used the term "laugh," because that was the title of the thread. To debate whether Molina or Monroe is a more worthy opponent is splitting hairs. Both have a 5% chance of victory at best. Injuries or perfect punches could happen. GGG is on a higher plane than Wilder, so that should be taken into account. Also, Monroe can't break an egg.
