You do know that most of the great MW's..

In 4 years probably using a caine entering the ring. Look how he moves now compared to 2011. The slouched back coming forward looks older every time. The inactive Wade made it look good. I'll be surprised if Golovkin will move like Bhop at 48 when he fought Kova..

Exactly HOW do you know what Golovkin will do in the future?

With the Wade bout I doubt anybody in the industry cared about Lil'Gs below 1 nanogram meldonium traces. VADA has known how to seeep that under the rug for Lil'G..

Lil'G here forward without the Meldoniumz and moving up will be a spectacle to watch

I don't know anything about that but what was up with Golovkin looking bloated in the face for the Wade fight? A lot of people here mentioned it so I know it wasn't just me. Why was his face and neck all puffy? Thoughts?

The key difference is that they were former welterweights, Brook is a current welterweight. It makes a big difference if you have already won belts at 154 and 160 regardless of where you started.

Napoles had never fought at MW & nor was he a belt holder. Paul Williams never held a major MW title too. You have no idea what Brook will do at MW yet either. Especially once Golovkin vacates. Time will tell..

I was wondering why these guys didn't seem to get that, then I saw that they're all just regurgitating something Abe Sanchez told the press yesterday. Lol. Apparently, some of them haven't learned that standing behind what Abe says is a setup for embarrassment.

Incorrect. I never saw that. I can think for myself.

You're not doing a very good job of it.

Built there resumes on former WW's? I honestly think some of you have no clue about the history of the sport or the divisions.. Without former WW's MW would be a wasteland historically!

-2 of Monzons top 3 best wins were José Nápoles (a WW) & Emile Griffith (Fluctuated between the two weights)..

-Hopkins. His 3 best opponents at MW were Taylor, Oscar & Tito. One of which started out as a FW & the other was a career WW!

-Hagler. Without doubt his two best wins were over Duran (former LW) & Hearns (a former WW)..

-Sergio Martínez. One of the best MW's of the past 20 years. Started out as a WW! His second best win was a former WW too! Paul Williams.

Kell Brook is in the midst of his career as a WW & is relatively young still so is it beyond the realms of possibility that he would have matured & moved up weight at some point like many fighters do as they age? There is nothing to suggest GGG won't move up at a later date too.


Isn't Postol fighting Terence Crawford a career LW? Haters, either get some knowledge or get over it.. There is nothing new to see here! The #1 WW is fighting the #1 MW! Deal with it.

Pretty much what I posted previously.

the only real difference is that a lot of those guys proved to be a great welters before they moved up. Brook only has one world class win.

[bojangles1987]

When Kell Brook moves up to 154 and has a successful run there, then moves up to MW and does something, then maybe he could compare to those scenarios you mentioned.

Because none of those welterweights you mentioned moved straight from 147 to fight the MW champion. They eventually ended up at MW after moving naturally.

****ing ******ed argument.
