First of all:
I am not a big fan of that fight, i am just trying to be logical.
Would have preferred GGG to fight Canelo, Saunders, Jacobs or Eubank.
I hope they grow some balls in due time!
I know the Anti GGG Agenda is in full force, but what about some food for thoughts about the situation.
GGG needed an opponent, quick, very quick. Eubank pulled out for a fight in 8 weeks.
Looking at 160
GGG called out everyone. Every top middleweight ducked him.
Looking at 168
Zurdo has an injury, out for 5 months.
DeGale and Jack have a unification at the end of the year.
Looking at 154
Andrade wants to unify first and face GGG for big $$$ in 2-3 years.
Lara talks big on twitter and in interviews, never once his team contacted K2, also has no fans, also gets no $$ from HBO. Also his own promoter says fight cannot happen because of "TV problems":
DiBella would like to see @GGGBoxing fight a true welterweight or a heavier opponent. When I asked about Jacobs or Lara, told "TV problems."— Lance Pugmire (@latimespugmire) July 8, 2016
Charlo bros want nothing to do with GGG.
Looking at 147
Brook, ranked #1 at 147, undeafeated, huge at the weight, steps up and takes the deal Eubank declined, HBO already had the UK deal with K2 and Matchroom ready and needed a willing opponent for a fight in 8 weeks.
Ding Ding Ding we have a winner. Probs to Kell Brook for knocking out all the cowards with one shot and giving the GGG Antis a meltdown.
Marvin Hagler, one of the ATG MWs, his biggest fights were against the best guys from lower weights (Duran, Hearns, and Sugar Ray Leonard, who was a huge welterweight like Brook who actually defeated Marvin Hagler)
Great and legit post, fact... But Duran was an ATG, Leonard was an ATG! Let's see Golovkin fight Pacquiao then, he's an ATG!
Duran was fat and older, started at 118, when he fought Hagler, took him the distance and was ahead after the 13th round...
Leonard was unranked and not even rated anymore, since he was inactive and coming from a long layoff for a career threatening eye injury, when he fought Hagler, and he edged him out on points...
Hearns was a good win, no doubt, but even with his huge frame, Hearns was a very fragile and weak chinned boxer outside of 147 and 154...
And this is only Hagler, who like Hopkins, had a piss weak 160 division so he had to get signature wins on ex-welterweights...
Hopkins is even worse in my opinion, Hagler like Golovkin was a small MW, but Bhop was a natural LHW who started to cut weight after he got beat at that weight... Once again his signature wins were WWs, and although Trinidad was legit and proved himself a little over 147, DLH took a dive and was coming off of a beatdown from Felix Sturm, one of the worst robberies i can remember...
No one is saying that Brook vs GGG is an incredible fight, it wasn't in the plans, but ****ting all over it, and on Golovkin, is extremely retarded, we have two undefeated p4p boxers going at it, arguably the best in their respective divisions, WWs vs MWs always happened in boxing history... Accept it for what it is and let's hope that it generates enough money and exposure, so that Golovkin can get better and bigger fights...
