Comments Thread For: 30 Day Weights: Gennady Golovkin 165, Kell Brook 176!

[Metho_4u]

The most difficult opponents for Golovkin would have been Ward, Mora, Lara.

All are movers/spoilers who are notoriously difficult to look good against.

Oh, and Canelo at 155.

Not saying any of those guys would definitely beat Golovkin, except Ward.

3 of those guys wanted that fight, 1 wanted it - rightly-or-wrongly - under his terms only..... but none of those fights happened.

And I don't believe the pile of silly excuses they rolled out for Ward, Mora, Lara..... the only reason why you furnish a pile of silly excuses, is because you do not have 1 genuine reason.

And I don't believe they tried to make Jacobs/Saunders either.

They offered Saunders 1.5mil and they offered Jacobs "Quillin money"..... Kell Brook is making 4mil because they wanted to fight Kell Brook.

They also are using brook being from the UK. Bring him over here and see if the fight sells the same way. 98k maybe? Lol

Cong****, you came in fat as ****

[animelive]

If Floyd was fighting him, he'd be picking on an unknown...and don't you love the "shooting for the stars" comment? I lmao @ that...it's like watching a friggen figure skating routine by an 8 year old kid. Never saw someone defend such a Bull**** fight in my life.

In what universe is Brook unknown? Is that why the fight sold out in 10 minutes? You can make a lot of arguments against this fight but popularity isn't one. That is ****** so you are ****** too.

]Brook weighed 175 pounds on fight night against Porter....Brook is huge.[/B]...this is not a mis-match in the least....Brook would likely beat any middle weight, except for GGG....all the middleweights have been ducking GGG...and all the welterweights have been ducking Brook....Brook has balls....and let's forget Andre Ward.....Ward called out GGG one hour after it was announced that GGG had a contract to fight Lemieux.....this can be checked out for a fact in the transcripts......second of all GGG's team had been trying to come to an agreement for two years with Ward....the problem was first Ward was in trouble with law suits with Goossen...they were suing each other....Goosen won the lawsuit three times.....then Ward signed with Roc Nation....the first thing Roc Nation said was that Ward needed two tune up fights before they would let Ward fight GGG...then Ward fought one fight at 172 pounds....GGG and his team got tired of waiting for Andre Ward to make up his mind what he wanted to do...then look at the numbers....Ward fought in his own home town and he could not put 4000 people in the arena....Ward fought at the Citizens centre and there were only 3000 people....every single word I have put here can be checked out by anybody simply by looking at the transcripts....and if that is not enough for you then here is a video by Tom Loeffler.....either Loeffler is lying or Ward is lying....only problem with that is that the transcripts will back up Loeffler and not Ward....http://www.fighthype.com/news/article23436.html?

Wait there for a minute...you realize the IBF has a 10 lb rehydration clause right? I believe he was 156, not 175...if not, please provide a source.

I told you guys, Brook has always been a gigantic WW. He starved himself to make weight and he still looked great. Imagine how he'll look at MW? Sure, he'll probably lose to Golovkin but he'll go on to win his next 10 fights if he stays at MW.

Hatton should have fought sergio martinez

I've always maintained Floyd should have fought Martinez while he was the his peak....And Floyd would have won IMO.

Ask the average fan, the ones who aren't looking at boxing news if they know who the f***kell brook is...guaranteed they say, who is she? ****** ****head

I agree with you brook is challenging himself. But for every khan, you get a srr or Duran or rjj .......success stories. At this poi nt we don't knoiw hoiw well brook will fair, neither does GGG know how tough brook will be. But we can't criticiuse gggg too much just like we cant criticiuse hagler or Ruiz for fighting rjj.
Brook could turn out to bee a monster

History will judge this fight , because currently you are comparing Brook to ATG`s , if in the end of his career he will be remembered as such , then sure it will be a great W on GGG resume , but if he goes to obscurity after this fight , then it was a mismatch , i am not criticising GGG for taking the fight (Eubank bailed on the last second and no one at MW wants it) but it doesn't make it a good fight for me with the information i have infront of me , there is not a lot to suggest Brook can be a live dog in there , as i said time will tell!!!

[Metho_4u]

If GayLoveKin was going to fight WW's then I'd pick spence over any other WW... it's an inexcusable fight either way however.

The avg brit boxing fan ? or the Avg american boxing fan ? there is a big difference......
