We do not accept that bullsht we are actual fans of the sport and do not give a fuk about your financial gains or the disruption of goldenboys. Fighting a weltorweight while campaigning at middleweight will only add fuel to the biased hatred many have for Golovkin . We now come to the realization that K2 IS trash and shoulded be deemed unfit to promote at the world class level.
Lil' G fans: "He had no one to face!"

Exactly. Lara been calling him out for the longest and did again after he beat vanes in the post fight interview.
What top middleweight was available?
Again, it doesn't have to be one of the top guys.
A non 'top guy' is still better than Wade and Monroe. Someone basic like Andy Lee is far better than almost everyone Golovkin has fought.
There was a certain Erislandy Lara available and asking for the fight, but of course 'he's not a MW' and 'he doesn't make business sense' are brought out for him.
Theres this dude called lara who has been calling out ggg for years now and just did it again after his last fight again. This dude has 2 official losses even though most people know he got robbed vs williams and the other was a thin loss (i thought he beat him) to canelo. That guy has a belt and would have been a much better fight than fighting a welterweight.
Right. WE LOVE YOU Gennady and we RESPECT you for fighting ONE OF THE best fighters of our generation who is UNDEFEATED and is justas good as floyd. We appreciate the sacrifices you take going UP and DOWN in weight just to cement your legacy sacrificing power and resistance because people in your own class dont dare fight you.

By your logic we would have never had the chance to witness Duran, Hearns or Leonard to fight Hagler. Casuals... :lame:
Yes it does have to be a top MW and you know it. We've been over this before when he faces MW "cans" and that's all that's left after the big four all declined
Please, it's never been a top opponent before, he's been fighting cans and will continue doing so. He's been happy fighting guys like Willie Monroe and Dominic Wade.
Taking on a top fighter from 2 divisions below instead changes nothing.
Good point. The only exciting thing about this is wondering if a miracle can happen like some people thought would with canelo vs khan. At least Brook has a better chin though so it's not as obvious. If brook was proven, ie had cleared out the whole WW division, this would be acceptable. But he's pulled out of 2 fights vs decent opponents which makes me think he may be cashing out ready for khan and then retirement soon after.
Agree. Garbage fight but who the hell is he going to fight now?
Jacobs nope
BJS nope
Eubank nope
Canelo nope
He might as well move up and fight Zurdo. Screw it.
Zurdo has a hand injury and is out for 5 months. :-/
And DeGale/Jack are supposed to unify in the fall. The list of opponents is REALLY bad. PBP has a realistic one in another thread here
He could have picked any available MW.
'None of the top guys were available' - It doesn't have to be a top MW, he'd be hard pressed to find any MW worse than Dominic Wade anyway.
He's fighting a WW, hopefully Kell looks solid at the weight and pulls off the win.
Fight is crap against a smaller guy, but the alternatives virtually do not exist at this time.

Exactly.... not very hard to see, the f*cking context.

i told you guys he wasnt as ducked as much as K2 was playing the risk vs reward ratio
GGG is a good fighter...his team is protecting their investment and maximizing his following while not taking risks
Don't try and speak for all fans. Eubank didn't want the fight. If GGG would have fought another middleweight not named Jacobs or Saunders he would have been criticized anyway.
Damned if he does, damned if he doesn't. Who cares what the biased haters think, they will ALWAYS hate.
And no, I don't like the fight, I think it's way too soon for Brook to challenge Golovkin but I'm not pretending to lose my **** over it.
