Does GGG deserve the same scrutiny as Canelo?

      Maybe

      But then Khan started as a lightweight and could barely even take punches of lightweights.

      Kell Brook is a solid Welterweight, probably more of a natural 154, he struggles badly to make weight. But he IS a welterweight as it stands.

        If it's all the same, why is ggg never cutting weight for these lower weight class champs? Wouldn't he be more impressive if he had belts across multiple weight classes?

          Eubank turned down the fight.



          Canelo picked Khan.

            He does deserve criticism. Not on the same level as canelo though since Golovkin first tried to fight Canelo (who dropped his belt), Saunders for unification, Jacobs and Eubank. After all those failed, he settled with Kell Brook.

            At the end of the day it's a mismatch and mismatches should be criticized.

              Colour me unsurprised.
              You're so bad when it comes to using the brain. Fight night weight difference will be way less than fight night weight difference between Canelo and Khan. Do the math. And they punch themselves at fight night, not at the weigh in.

                The fact that Kell will be an inch and a half shorter too does not play well to his chances, considering the stylistic match-up.
