As GGG fan i am not going to dance and clap and applaud this figh, i wont pretend like i am happy with this fight, i don't think its a good fight, i sure as hell don't give much of a chance to Brook either or will give any major credit to GGG for winning. But lets not pretend that GGG is seeking smaller fighters either.
GGG and his team have tried to make the Canelo fight for over a month, then they tried to make the BJS fight (i believe) then they tried to make the Eubank Junior fight for 3 weeks... they literally were coming to two month mark before the fight, now Hearn offered them a fight on a platter that was already negotiated for 3 weeks which they were happy with the terms with only one change, and that was the opponent. So GGG team took it. The alternative would be to go back to the drawing table and negotiate some more and likely push his fight further back which would further screw Golovkin as he wouldn't be able to get in another fight this year.
Its a bad fight, it's a one sided fight, but it isn't the same as Canelo negotiating for weeks or months with Kahn.
