Comments Thread For: Kell Brook is Dead Serious: I Want To Fight Gennady Golovkin

[Jsmooth9876]

Because Canelo first offered it at 150, then Floyd accepted the 150lb cw and Canelo said nope it's now going to have to be 154, i'm a little bigger now. Floyd said, but you said 150lbs. Yeah, but I can't make 150 anymore though. So they met half way at 152lbs to make the fight. That's what negotiating is. The A-side being reasonable with the B-side. Any other questions?

And why did the A side who had fought more than once at 154 and held titles there need the fight to be at 152?

Sure..why didn't Ward meet the A side at 164 then?

GGG was not the a-side, no one was. 164 is just as bad as 150lbs.

Also, we should no longer talk about GGG vs Ward, the fight is clearly not going to happen and never had a chance of happening, and I am okay with that. That fight is pretty irrelevant now. GGG is a good fighter, he is trying to make a name for himself at MW, fine. Ward made a name for himself at 168 and is now trying to do the same at 175. They went different routes, i'm at peace with that match up. I'm now looking forward to Ward vs Kovalev. I really don't care about Ward vs GGG at all.

You're like on two different topics, stick to one question buddy.

Why did Canelo, the b-side, offer the fight at 150 and then backtracked to 154?

The same reason as Abel Sanchez claiming his fight would fight anyone from 154 to 168 but then backtracking to 160-164?

You see we can ask these silly questions all day, but you need to just accept that GGG and Ward took different routes and that fight is dead. And well Mayweather vs Canelo, at least Mayweather was always willing to move around weight classes and concede to reasonable counter-offers throughout his career.

All these boxers and posters keep bringing up Golovkin. It's almost like he's the new TBE.

Who's the old TBE?

Kell needs to leave Hearn

He's got massive potential and I still think he could clear out the ww division if he's given the chance

Hearns is ruining what momentum he had . It sucks

If fighters try to copy what Khan did to gain attention from fans and media then that's great for the sport to be honest. Let's face it anyway, Khan himself is trying to copy Floyd's resume.

That doesn't make any sense.

Kell Brock* won't defend his belt at WW against a live body but will jump up 2 weights to fight GGG. Sounds legit!

And why did the A side who had fought more than once at 154 and held titles there need the fight to be at 152?

Cuz he didn't believe he could beat him at 154lbs, what else?

very impressed with Brook....putting everything on the line. Of course, he can always go back as a welter after a loss to GGG.
