    Hands down.
    How about the middleweight lineal champ who hand picked the guy who got KTFO at 135 and 140? Not cherry picked enough for ya?

      Um, you'd think they'd have this **** figured out BEFORE signing the contract, not after...

        Yeah that was a huge cherry pick too but that was at 155. And lets be honest Canelo may have been Lineal but Golovkin's clearly the best at 160.

          He is and let's be honest if Canelo didn't back down we'd be seeing them fight in Sept. Or if Eubanks pops didn't wanna run the show we'd be seeing that fight. Or if Suanders had balls we'd be seeing that one. Canelo chose Khan because he had a name and was a easy win, he could have literally fought almost anyone from 147-160.

            No way! Imagine if this fight was talked about before they announced

            It would get laughed at more than it is now....well maybe not

              Yes Canelo-Khan was a huge Cherry Pick but Golovkin-Brook is worse. Golovkin could have fought Lara who has been calling him out for a long time now. Or any of the top 10 Junior Middleweights, instead he chose to pick a welterweight whose best win is Shawn Porter.

                Besides Lara I don't think anyone at 154 wants to fight GGG.. And seeing how they just sold out in 11 minutes GGG made the right choice financially. I wanna see the Lara fight though. Hopefully Jacobs is next if the WBA orders it.

                  No it isn't. Khan is far worse of a cherry pick. Khan isn't even a mention for top 3 welterweight. Compare that to Brook, and everyone agrees he's top 2.
                  Khan got knocked out at lower weight classes, and moves up to fight a heavy handed man who weighs in 170 minimum fight night? Khan doesn't even weigh what Brook does. Brook has come in around 160 on fight nights before a few times. Khan had to bulk up and get slightly fatter to get close to that range.

                  Enough of that bull****. Canelo weighs slightly more than Golovkin on fight night. It's been proven. He cuts more water weight and get's away with it because he's young. Just wait until he learns his body can't adjust to it as well when he ages.

                  LOL, Lara. Lara who probably wants more money than he's worth. Yeah ****ing right. Make Golovkin take a huge cut in pay to fight a guy who brings no exposure? Absolutely ******ed. Difference between Canelo and Golovkin is none of the top middleweight's in Golovkin's division wanted to fight him. Canelo? He doesn't even talk about the top Jr. Middleweights. Big ****ing difference.

                    Ugh, Jacobs makes me sick right now. Can't believe he's taking the Mora rematch.

                      My initial thought when I read this was, "good, maybe GGG will see how corrupt the ABC groups are and forget this ****** belt quest." Then reality hit me and I realized. GGG already doesn't give a **** about the belt quest. And it only becomes important when they start asking him about fighting somebody that might kick his ass.
