Does GGG deserve the same scrutiny as Canelo?

[MPX309]

Mayweather vs Marquez was worse than this. Were you so offended by that? All top dogs in Mw avoided Golovkin.

Marquez is the guy who went on to campaign at 147 isn't he?

I could be wrong, but from what i gather from statements by DeGale and Hearn. Is that Haymon is'nt really involved if DeGale fights in the UK. I'm sure he gets his piece being DeGale's manager, but negotiations etc are up to Hearn. DeGale has expressed interest in the fight as well. I don't know for sure, but seriously ****ing bummed out by this fight.

I'm dissappointed in the fight, will troll Golovkin for taking it a bit and wont give him any credit if he wins.

Having said that though, truthfully I'm kinda excited. Brook is a legit fighter with great skills and pop. This could be an exciting fight to watch. Brook is a big Welter while Golovkin is a small MW (he was what, 164 at 30 day weigh in?). There will be a size disadvantage but it wont be the David vs. Goliath that Khanelo was. And the styles can lead to some good fireworks.

So yeah, I'll talk **** about it, but I do want to watch this. lol

#6 Welterweight vs #1 Jr. Middleweight for Middleweight title at catchweight. No precedent for that friend.

Fuq catchweight says Brook and Golokvin, we doing it at 160lbs like fighters of yesterday.

This is a legit comparable to Leonard vs Hagler, unlike that fraud comparison of Canelo vs Khan.

Don't even know how to appropriately respond to this.

I don't care what happened in 2009.


This fight is just as bad as Canelo/Khan. If you supported Khanelo, you should support this. If you hated Khanelo, you should hate this.

Marquez is the guy that went right back to 135 after the Mayweather fight and fought at some WW Catchweights years after the Mayweather fight.

Canelo had a lot of legit opponents at 160 and at 155. He chose the easiest route and fight Khan.

GGG tried to fight any Top mw. They all came to the press saying "I need more money I need more time etc". The same promoter from Eubank jr offered Brook because there was not an agreement with the Eubanks.

I wouldn't blame it on GGG. You would, I guess, ignoring all the context and all that has happened in the last 7 years in the MW division.

GGG has legit options too. Just because 2 or 3 guys won't fight you doesn't mean you fight a welterweight with one good win.

Oh I will watch it lol. Huge props to Brook, but I just don't see anyway he can win this fight.
