Piss-drinker Marquez was 36, had 4 losses and was going up 2 divisions to fight Floyd, and Floyd came in overweight. Yet you all loved that fight and gave Floyd credit.
Now Brook (who Marquez ducked) is also going up 2 divisions but he is 36-0, prime, and walks around bigger than GGG. Yet you hate on this fight?
I give Floyd credit. But you should also give GGG and Brook credit. Stop hating on this fight.
It speaks to Floyd's greatness that he had a tuneup fight against the number 2 p4p fighter in the world and he still doesn't get much credit for that bout. Plus Marquez at that point was better than Kell. This fight sucks, deal with it.
I mean, how much credit does Floyd really deserve for that? How much credit would you give if Kovalev beat GGG @ 175?
LOL @ this thread. floyd used the no 2 p4p fighter who was lineal and unified in his division as a "tuneup" after 19 month layoff in a NON-TITLE fight. GGG is using an unproven WW who has fought 1 top 10 ranked guy in his division moving up 2 division bc they didnt want the venue to go to waste. this is more like salka vs garcia IMO
Garcia vs Salka was way worse. I mean this fight is still trash but at least Brook is a rated and respected WW (possibly even the best) versus Salka being a middle of the pack guy in his division.
I don't know anyone that loved floyd-marquez,,, everyone knows it was a tuneup for floyd, even though it was vs the reigning lightweight champ.. Brook is just a stay busy fight for ggg, even though he is a reigning welter champ

They had Brook as top 5 P4P in the world but now they have him as top 10.
Ohhh BoxRec has him top 5 guys. That means this is a good fight, thanks for clearing that up for us.

Marquez was old, past prime, had 5 losses and went life/death with old casamayor and diaz. He was flabby and fat moving up. Brook is prime and undefeated and he is moving down.

Comparing Brook/GGG to Floyd/Jmm is almost as bad as when you all try to compare it yo Hagler/SRL
This is more Norris/Taylor realm
Def Norris Taylor esque. Maybe even a little Crawford\Gamboa-ish :boxing:
Are you fvcking stupid? Hatton was a fat fvck at 180, Brook's pictures showed that he is ripped like an Adonis at 178. Do you not see the fvcking difference?
Brook gets fat between fights...man has a double chin here

Its not the same. Brook doesn't have a Pacquiao that he arguably beat that moved up and tore through the middleweight division. Floyd/Marquez was accepted because people wanted to see how Floyd would handle the man who gave Manny fits. The problem was Marquez was undersized, too old, and too slow. Floyd did every he could do but better. Marquez just had more heart and was a lot more of a warrior. He just isn't a pressure fighter and it's hard to counter someone who's a faster and bigger defensive fighter then you are.
Rios walks around at about 200 and Hatton walked around at 170-180...fvck does that mean?

Marquez had 5 losses, was a past prime lightweight, bloated up, and didn't have Memo at the time. Marquez ain't sh1t.
Brook walks around at 185 and is bigger than GGG.
