I dont get how fans can support a fighter who NEVER LOOKS UP AND MAKES FIGHTS!!but always calls out SMALLER FIGHTERS!!!. and dont say Hagler as 168 was not around then and he would have had to go to 175. What happened to challenging yourself? This is the era of b1tchassness i see
Hypocrites everywhere.

I didn't read through all the threads but according to most of you a Champ steps up and proves himself by moving up. Well lets put this in its proper place. Brook Challenged GGG... He's stepping his game up.... Like a true Champ GGG is giving him a shot since every viable opponent has turned tail and ran for the hills. I don't like it but I certainly am not going to bash GGG for taking what looks to be an easy couple mil. Its the new thing and goes right along with catch weights but what are you doing to do?
We shouldn't forget GGG is traveling to the UK for this one... just saying.
Why it's not going to make the fight any harder for him. Brook getting smoked like British bangers.
Hopkins was lauded for his Tito win, it arguably made him p4p no. 1 at the time.
So, no 168? Many top middleweights would move to 175, it was quite regular at the time.
Learn something.
Learn something?? lol now thats a good one..It was a much harder transition to move up 15 pounds then moving up 8 pounds now. And Yes Hopkins is always slammed by people saying all his best wins were against smaller fighters moving up...
Hagler and Monzon fought in a era when there was no 168 division....Hopkins was slammed in his career for fighting smaller fighters as well, but he jumped 2 divisions at 40

My problem with these BLATANT disgusting hypocrits is all the excuses they come up with when it is a fighter they are a fan of. If Canelo did the sa........actually Canelo did the same thing and THEY WERE THE FIRST to criticize him. No one on this site has any damn shame? ****ing pathetic.
Well maybe we wouldn't have you complaining If Ward stepped up to the challenge when he was first offered or If he wouldn't make us wait 4 pointless fights to get the fight lel.
Say it once I'll say it again you just mad that GGG is taking over and he is gonna get a better PPV than lil Ward who can't even fight outside of the US lmfao!!!!!!!!!!!!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA YOUR TEARSSSS!!

it's not the same thing. Canelo had options for one. We KNEW Khan had a glass chin while Brook is not only bigger and stronger but a bit of an unknown quantity, which leaves a bit of intrigue. And I'm not a Golovkin fan, I don't even think he's that good but this fight is not all that bad considering the options available, that's all....I do think the people who ignore all the details that led to this(GGG avoided by Canelo-Jacobs-Saunders-Eubank) are BLATANTLY BIASED...
Yeah, it's funny how the Golovkin haters either ignore that he was ducked or make excuses for the duckers, just to try to bash him. "But, but, Canelo's the "A" side doe, Golovkin shouldn't have a problem fighting him with virtually one hand tied behind his back." "Cotto's too small for him doe. The fact that he held a MW belt is irrelevant doe" "The Eubanks never saw a contract to sign, Hearn's lying about them making outrageous demands doe." "Ward turned HBO down to fight Golovkin? How do we know that's true doe?" :purity::lol1:
Only thing that gets me wit that is..no floyd fan said it was great but somehow its a great win when Bradley and Manny beat an even older Marquez
Pacquiao has won against Marquez before Marquez lost to Floyd.
Yes some fans did make a big deal out of Floyd beating Marquez. Don't lie to yourself.

Comon man be consistent. You might not think highly about that fight,
but I am one of the biggest Floyd fans on here after you, and I will always say that's a quality win for Floyd. JMM is a huge win for anyone, people want to bring up weight disparities when it's convenient - it's a fight by fight basis.
The way Floyd outboxed JMM, that happens whether JMM is the bigger fighter, Floyd is the smaller fighter, they are the same size, they could both be featherweights, they could both be HW. IT DOESN'T MATTER, the way Floyd outboxed him, that's a mastery of science over one of the greatest counter-punchers ever.
And people want to play it down because JMM came in the smaller guy, people who say that don't know boxing.
You aren't taking an easier fight or ducking someone if the more lucrative, and/or more challenging fight happens to be someone in a lower weight class. If size was everything then guys like Roman, and even Pac and Floyd when they were at the top of the p4p list would never be #1 because using that logic they aren't better than anyone in divisions above them. :lol1:
If there is one thing I will always be is unbiased, and JMM is a great win, and GGG doesn't deserve flak for fighting Brook either, and that doesn't mean we still don't want him to fight Canelo or Ward, but those fights aren't happening yet so better a fighter fight anyone than noone.

You shoot yourself in the foot early here larryx. Doing something once, or twice, is not ALWAYS for you to say they NEVER do the opposite lol.
And why should one fighter be criticized, what about the credit to the "smaller" fighter for coming up? Clearly biased here.
And what about Marquez vs Floyd?
Only thing that gets me wit that is..no floyd fan said it was great but somehow its a great win when Bradley and Manny beat an even older Marquez
larryxxx...
still wondering if you think Hagler, Monzon, Hopkins and co were great or not?

You are pathetic. What's your IQ? 60? GGG didn't have more options. Brook is a big WW.
