Topic: [Boxing]: GGG vs Murata - Reschedule - page 28. (Read 3344 times)
^^ We will see, if Murata backs out of this schedule fight due to the postponement, it will be obvious that GGG has to seek other fights because he is already on the verge of retirement so he is going to milk his boxing career to the fullest before he goes out. Everyone is talking about Charlo as the best option for him though. But again, as I have said, still depends if Murata is still a willing opponent or not. As GGG as other options besides him, other champions to fight next year.
Charlo is young and is undefeated and very hungry and been in the MW for the last 2-3 years and making a name for himself. A fight with him and GGG will be amazing as we can see the old but experience vs a young and hungry fighter.
Charlo will be a highly tough opponent for GGG, not just the age advantage but he really has strong punch power that's why he is reigning the Light Middleweight division. Not degrading GGG here but Charlo has a chance to beat GGG. Maybe a different story if GGG is still on prime.
Too much difference compare to Murata's statistics and experience. I wonder why Charlo is not chosen instead. He is a better opponent compared to a trilogy against Canelo. GGG is aging he needs to fight the best now rather than later or maybe just to play safe until retirement.
Yes, and maybe this is a good fight for GGG as he wanted to test and see if he still got it even at age 40 to face a young fighter such as Charlo. If he lost convincingly, then maybe it's time for him to retire?
Prime for prime though, I don't think anyone can beat GGG at 160 lbs, not even Canelo. Although they have fought, GGG was no longer in his prime that time and Canelo was entering his best years.
It's possible that in case Charlo beats him, he can retire or maybe GGG doesn't want that yet and he wants to get more fights
before he hangs his clubs.
Whatever GGG plans, it will reflect on his next fight. If he wins, he might have more fight to come, but if the other things happen
he may retire for good.

I wouldn't say that, Canelo is a great fighter so I have respect for him, they already fought twice and though the result may look controversial, but let's give credit to where credit is due. Charlo is young and is undefeated and very hungry and been in the MW for the last 2-3 years and making a name for himself.

Well I look at who's who in this division:
(a) Murata - super champion by WBA
(b) Lara - regular champion by WBA
(c) Jermall Charlo - WBC champion
(d) Demetrius Andrade - WBO champion
So GGG still has a lot of options to annex another belt, and I think he can beat everyone of those champions. And I only see as Charlo maybe the big obstacles here.

I do agree that all those fighters are beatable by GGG. But Erislandy Lara is slick and a lefty, maybe it will give GGG a problem because Lara almost beat Canelo with that style.
Charlo is also a money fight I believe, the young Charlo can be the next face of this division.
Andrade? I'm not really sure how he become a champion, no disrespect that this guy is ageing and doesn't have the power to beat all those champions.
I do agree with most the analysis here:
It's Charlo vs GGG will be the next best option if the Murata fight is not going to push through early next year.
Charlo is young and is undefeated and very hungry and been in the MW for the last 2-3 years and making a name for himself. A fight with him and GGG will be amazing as we can see the old but experience vs a young and hungry fighter.
^^ If this fight is not going to happen or will be cancelled, then GGG has a lot of options.
I like more of the Charlo fight, this is will be a big challenge for the ageing GGG against a prime Charlo who I know has been calling him as well. So of all the other champions, for me Charlo is the biggest fight challenge and purse wise for GGG. So maybe he can forget about Murata for now and look for other choices.

That should be a great fight, the odds should be competitive compared to his fight with Murata which he is a heavy favorite, against Charlo, I think boxing fans will have a hard time choosing the right boxer to win the fight.

And who wouldn't want to see this great fight?
GGG will be tested again by a tough Japanese fighter who is a champion in his own. But covid-19 intervene again and so all we can do is really want for the Japanese government to ease their travel restrictions as this fight will not be move to any countries. And then maybe we can start to speculate again but obviously GGG is the fight favorite amongst us boxing fans.

I don't see a fight getting postponed as it will likely get cancelled eventually. GGG could find another opponent if he sees there's money on it, and I really like to see him fight again as he has been inactive for awhile.
Its true that both boxers are on healthy situation which means they could fight off without intervention.
They could move into other venue but it will always depend on the organizers.

GGG's camp can't just cancel a fight even if they see another opponent with a chance of getting huge money. The governing body will be the one that will cancel the fight if it makes sense to do so like for example, Japan continues to apply its restrictions until 1Q of next year making it more of a delay. Switching to other venues might work too as there are countries who don't have much strict restrictions - that is if they really want to push it right away at the beginning of next year.
Murata will fight with another top boxer, even he has a quite experience but for me it's still not enough to beat GGG in this fight. However even Murata will lose, I'm sure he will learn a good lesson and could become more better.
Well taking into account that GGG represents for many of us a kind of good feeling or that we always want to see the success of GGG, we cannot go through the enormous potential that Murata has, for many the winner is Murata, but I think this time I I would go for GGG, no matter how old I am, I have to be consistent with what I think, and at the same time I know that some of the emotions can influence, but I think that this time GGG can surprise, it would be a good closing of year, let's wait and see how this time of preparation unfolds, I am sure that GGG will give everything to get the victory.
I think that's not the case here based on the feedback of the majority. Only a few think Murata has a chance to win.
Their pointers are:
- Popularity
- Experience
- Strength
- FirePower
GGG's age doesn't look like a problem that's why he was the Favorite to win the match.
But it doesn't mean Murata has no chance to win. We will see next year as the fight is now officially postponed.

Murata is not a tough fighter to consider. You can be based on his experience.
But since GGG is a big name, maybe that will fuel Murata's goal to work hard in practice. If he will defeat GGG, that will be a great recognition and possibly, big paychecks on his next fight.
It's an opportunity he doesn't want to miss.

Fights had been postponed which is likely to those health protocols which need to be followed which it isnt surprising.
For now lets just hope that it would really be resumed and happened out.
He has beaten everyone in the Middleweight division so who's left for him except champions like Murata or maybe one of the Charlo brothers. But that is if Charlo wanted a piece of GGG right now because it seems they have been avoiding him for quite some time now. So I guess it's better for GGG to really target Murata and wait for the fight to be available.
He deserves to get a huge fight before he retired because the guy is amazing when it comes to fighting anyone who is capable to beat him but most of the time he managed to beat them instead. His record is incredible with only 1 loss and a high percentage of knockout wins, I'm sure he will give us a sure entertaining night which will be recorded in boxing history. Too bad guys like him have reached the age where they need to rest on their profession, I hope there will be some people who will gonna be like them in the future.
I agree! GGG always brings entertaining fights to all his fans and viewers. He deserves this recognition and let him fight while he still wanted to showcase his skills; the fight was postponed its giving more time for both fighters to have more training and be more prepare once the schedule is already set up.
I like GGG to bring Murata down. It will add to his collections of KO's
OP should now update the title thread to TBA. As far as reports are concerned, it will be 1Q next year*.
GGG expresses his disappointment on the postponement but understands that health concerns should always be a priority. Murata on the other hand, consider the fight with GGG will test his overall experience. The result will also determine his status in the middleweight division.
With what happened, both boxers now have more time to continue their training and be well-prepared more on the scheduled date.
We should understand that they've been doing this for our sake though because health is much more important and should be prioritize rather than
on making things happen but lots would be compromised?
About the fight then Murata would really able to test out his experience at its hearts content knowing GGG could really beat him down
and he must be aware of that already.
More likely the government doesn't like the spread of this new variant, they are just protecting their people.
The event will proceed either change the venue or wait for the green sign from the health department. It will favor both fighters
as they will have more time for preparations.
Both fighters are new to each other, so maybe there's some interesting action that may happen when the fight takes place.
As for these two boxers, they respect the decision to postpone the fight next year but there's no exact date yet when, but we can really assume that this fight will really happen in the 1st quarter next year. For the bright side, they can train more properly without any pressuring schedules and spend the holidays with their own families.

Since Canelo's rematch is not gonna happen, then it's just right to expect a big fight.
@Yaunfitda, I like to see him fight the Charlo brothers, if he can beat them all, that would be satisfying and he'll surely create some noise in the boxing industry again.
