Comments Thread For: Hopkins on GGG-Brook: Time Will Reveal All The Frauds in Boxing

[robertzimmerman]

He's still choosing to engage in a fight that he called disrespectful and bad for boxing. When you do that, ridicule should be expected.

Sure, I accept that.

[robertzimmerman]

im not businessman, disrespect boxing, etc, etc....

It doesn't really matter what he said about Canelo. At the time he was right to say it, and he couldn't foresee the future.

Yes, he'll have to take the criticism on the chin and move on.

lame excuse, hbo did not set the date, it was k2, hbo didnt force anything...

It's not a lame excuse.

HBO set the date of September the 10th in March of this year.

K2 dealt with Matchroom to fight Eubank on that date.

Again, why would he have put that date in jeopardy and walked away from a big U.K. PPV when his camp was due to start in about 10 days time?

Nobody would have done that.

Sure, it's to be expected that a lot of people are unhappy about the situation. But they've got to realise that GG actually signed a contract for Eubank and handed it back in.

[robertzimmerman]

every single word on that post was truth and unbiassed, both fights are crap, there should be no excuses... im a canelo fan and i did not make a single excuse for his fight with khan, it was BS...

I agree with you. But one was taken through choice and the other one was taken through necessity.

[robertzimmerman]

B Hop was & is right

Bernard should shut his mouth, because he would never have moved up in GG's current position.

[robertzimmerman]

yes they were different, but they are both crap, canelo gave khan 5 months to go up 8 lbs, ggg gave brook 2 months to go up 13 lbs, thats also one of the differences, but it doesnt matter it shouldnt excuse canelo or ggg from making a joke of fights...

Again, they're both rubbish fights but it's ignorant for anyone to ignore the circumstances.

GG didn't give Brook anything. He accepted him as a last minute replacement. Your post implies that GG made him take the fight and wouldn't give a CW or let him have a longer camp etc. That wasn't the case.

[STREET CLEANER]

Now a days when the fighters say that they want to fight the best they mean the best pay day

What a knowledgeable poster you are.

We're blessed to have you here.

I know, thanks.

GGG took on Brook because, the other negotiation fell apart..

GGG took on Brook because, the other negotiation fell apart." Brook’s promoter Eddie Hearn offered the Golovkin fight to him after the negotiations between Golovkin and Hearn’s fighter Chris Eubank Jr. failed to produce a fight"

Hopkins is doing what Charlatans like La Hoya do best. Twisting things and confuse people, trying to get something for nothing.

There is a huge difference in size and skills between Khan and Brook. Brook will take out Khan if they fight. Brook is as big in size as GGG, Brook is a much bigger name than Khan.

Hopkins, why don't you convince you golden boy Canelo to fight GGG, this year, not 5 years from now when he is old.

Bernard should shut his mouth, because he would never have moved up in GG's current position.
