    Because their hate is for GGG. 🚼

      I think people are forgetting that Hopkins met Delahoya at a catchweight and Trinidad held knockouts over legit Middleweights before Hopkins fought him...

          What?!? Fighting Ward, DeGale, Dirrell would make G less than fighting Lemieux or Rubio??? If G wanted a big money fight he would be fighting Canelo at a CW in September. Hopkins fought ODLH at a CW. Canelo fought Floyd at a CW. Bottom line is G and Loeffler said for years anyone from 154-168. Well, there is Canelo at 155, Lara at 160, and Ward at 168. But instead he goes for a welterweight? If G wanted the money he would be fighting Canelo. He would rather keep collecting $2 mill a fight with little to no risk. That's fine, but just say it and don't act like everyone is scared of you so you have to fight guys two divisions lower.
          The ward at 168 ship sailed a long time ago. All the other names you mentioned other than canelo aren't gonna make him any more money than the type of opponents he's been fighting. Now that canelo has moved back to jmw, ggg is probably gonna have to cut weight to get the fight...should be a 157 cw, but i doubt canelo would take that fight. I don't care for the brook fight, but let's not act like ggg isn't being avoided at mw.

            ......welterweights moving up, he's been hanging around 160 all these years for one reason alone to fight welterweights moving up. What has been his MO the past 3 years? Calling out Floyd, Canelo, and now Kell Brook, anything to get a smaller man in the ring with him.

            34 years old and not once coming close to moving up to 168, ridiculous when you started your career at 160. Dude is clearly trying to pull a Hagler but as someone pointed out before there was no super middleweight division in Haglers day, he'd have to go straight to 175.

            Golovkin fans should see now that he is exposed, fighting smaller guys is not what the " most feared" fighter in boxing should be doing......knock out bigger men in higher weight classes if he wants to impress his detractors! What exactly does beating an unproven Kell Brook do for his career?
            He stays at middleweight because that is his natural fighting weight. He doesn't want to fight welterweights. He wants all the belts at 160 as he has told us about 1000 times. He wants to fight Jacobs and Saunders but they don't want to fight him. Brook challenged him and he said yes to a career high payday. What boxer would do any differently.? He doesn't seek out welterweights and most of his title defenses have been against the best middleweights who would agree to fight him. He defends his titles 3 or 4 times a year and that's twice as often as many of today's champions. He said he will pursue fights with Jacobs and Saunders after Brook. He also said he will fight at 168 after he has all the middleweight belts. Maybe he is pulling a Hopkins. They both turned pro around 24 years old. They both won middleweight titles when they were about 30 years old. Hopkins stayed at 160 until he was almost 41 years old. That gives GGG at least 6 more years at 160 to copy Hopkins. Be careful. If you hate GGG any more your head might explode. What does top light heavyweight Ward fighting a 168 pounder nobody ever heard of do for his career?

              If there are no fights to be had at Middleweight then you move up, thats the way its done, thats what is expected for P4P fighters to do.

              .....and to answer your question, it sets up Ward to fight Kovalev in November, I guess you conveniently leave that out

But you should be fighting a guy like Bute or DeGale at 168 before you fight Brook WTF. It's not like you won't make money fighting them.
                GGG signed to fight Eubank Jnr, then was offerd Brook on the same terms when the Eubanks backed out. Of course he's going to accept the fight.

                Brook will be a bigger test than Lara or Andrade, imo. He is basically the same size as them and a better fighter either of them.

                    No need to explain, I already know why GGG gets all the hate here.. It would be good if you and your buddies could move on from that schit and start enjoying the sport for what it is.

                      From Eubank's own promoter. Have you even been following this story, or just doing your usual thing of posting shit about GGG without having a clue what you're on about?
