People say he has a horrible resume and is overated. But many think he was unlucky not to get not against nel o x2

I thought Brook had as good a chance as Eubank Jr or any other MW at that time. But what matters is that he thought he had a chance and had been badgering Eddie Hearn to get him the fight.The people who threw their hands up in horror at the mere thought of "dragging a welterweight up" to fight a dominant MW champion had no idea what they were talking about and zero knowledge of boxing history.

I got no real problem in principle with a WW vs MW match-up and the circumstances that led to it means I certainly don't hold GGG at fault for taking it. No brainer... HBO weren't able to offer him anything like the $$$ he got from the Sky PPV and what was he supposed to do, just abandon the date when Eubank Jr dropped out and lose out on £3.5 mil or whatever? Still doesn't mean I saw it as a worthwhile fight for Golovkin or a particular feather in his cap, and whilst I applaud Brook for his self belief I always saw it as a mistake for him at the very least. Can't fault a guy for daring to be great though I guess.

no weight hopping, no bias judges in your favour, no tag and run tactics, no 'side of the street', no clinching/fouls, no 'A-side', no bull****, no PEDS, just stay at a weight, clear it out, and fight all comers who want to dethrone you. and it took a proven drugs cheat and two sets of crooked judges to do that.

GGG is a duck. He has a champion calling his name on the same network with the same promoter at the same weight. And he wants no part.
