    But he wasnt available recently you wrote. And anyway jacobs dont want it either...fine but what excuse can there be for a P4P great, he can beat Hagler, I want all the belts, MW PICKING a WW to fight. And no this isnt like Canelo/Khan cause Khan at least had a CW.

    Team GGG is dragging a WW all the way up to MW for "legacy"

      Yeah he fought the cream of the crop of British MW's (who were pretty good.at the time obviously), but when it came to the big time US fighters he was never that willing.

      Iirc he blatantly said he wouldntt fight James Toney on live tv interview

        Likeliness is that Eubank stalled/wanted too much/just being a pain, GGG was going to go, Hearn asked what about Brook, they said fine, he asked Brook, he said fine - they made the fight.

        I 100% believe Eubank was the priority.
        Eubanks are difficult, but they wanted this fight, just wanted to be compensated

        Hearn decided to go the easier route

        I just don't like this fight, especially after i saw what happened to Khan. I know Brook wants a payday, he's not made alot of money, and he is frustrated, but this could end horribly for him

        Is this fight at 160 or is there a CW?

          I don't like it either- it's at 160 with next day weigh in.

          Eubank is a pain in the ass probably.

              All of Canelos fights have been at a CW since 2013.
              Who should GGG have fought? Another guy like Wade who you would've bashed anyway? Brook is a **** fight but once again lets not act like this was Gennadys first option

              You call BJS or whoever you want to see GGG fight and tell me what they say.

                  Im bashing Brook as the choice right now!!

                  Brook shouldnt have been GGG 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or ever choice. Lets not act like this isnt a ***** move by Team GGG.

                  I would take anyone from 154 or 168. There are some but they didnt even try.

                  GGG PICKED a WW

                    dragging? Brook actually daring to be great here... if no Brook fight, GGG simply had to pick a Tuerano Johnson or the like and he wouldve been lambasted anyway. This fight is good to grow his name and has some intrigue.....we already knew Khan had no chin in any weightclass, there's always the possibility that Kell has been drained...and he has more power than Khan and is naturally bigger. Sure GGG doesn't deserve much credit for winning, but the middleweights who'd actually help his legacy grow are all ducking. I don't even think GGG is that good and can actually envision Brook giving him problems...no need to get all up in arms about a fight that isn't stopping other fights from happening though.
