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

Looks like he's been getting his ass kicked, though I'll concede he looks fairly solid.

We've already been down this road, but I'll ask again, if the guy is sooooo avoided, then start looking around @ 168. There's plenty of no names and cab drivers that are at least the same size. I'll also ask that if criminal domi**** Wade can make a half million, why not offer the fight to someone like Medina? He gave Degale hell, and if he beat him handily, that would look MUCH better after Degale struggled with him than beating a guy who's not even proven at JMW.

So you at least acknowledge that there were no better fights he could've made at 160?
Why should he have to move up in weight? he is clearly not a big middle or struggling to make 160. I understood why he was willing to move up to fight someone like Chavez or Froch in the past - bc they are big name fighters - beating them gains you notoriety and fighting them makes you more money.

Beating Medina would look better to who??? No joke, I don't even know who medina is??? I don't watch as much boxing the past year or 2 as I used to, but I am still more than a "casual fan". Your "better" fight is for him to move up to 168 and fight some no-name for less money as opposed to fighting an undefeated welterweight champ who is, by far, more well-known to boxing fans? ok...

The very amusing part of this is that the best that can be argued is that he "signed" to fight pirog and we are then supposed to worship the great sweetlovekin, Ward signs a contract to fight Kovalev, he gets jumped on by every gggay fan here....double standards. Oh, we didn't see the contract doe, we don't know if he signed doe...meanwhile Loeffler has been blowing smoke for YEARS and not signed a damn thing, but we're just supposed to believe him and his loser team.

No...I think the best that can be argued is that GGG has ko'd about 20+ fighters in a row, many of which were legit top 10 contenders, and that GGG is clearly willing to fight anyone at 160 lbs. The fact that he doesn't want to move up to 168 (despite what his idiot trainer had claimed over the years) should not be held against him, especially considering Hagler did the same thing ans did Bhop (until he was over 40 at least)
Also, who "jumped" on Ward. Every boxing fan I've talked to can't wait for Kovalez v. Ward. I don't even understand your point there.

[rasdun]

Lol I LOVE that list lmao! What a **** resume hahaha

anyone that talks **** about GGG's resume never points out who he has failed to fight at 160. Martinez, Cotto, Canelo, Saunders, Quillin...they wanted no part of him. All he does is fight a few times per year, usually 2 of them are against legit top 5-10 contenders and KO everyone he fights. We should applaud him as we applauded fighters like Hagler and Bhop, but we don't. Bc everyone is a keyboard warrior - picking apart every fighter's resume and talking ****, instead of appreciating his exciting fights and KOs

They sold out because of brook in ENGLAND...no one in the US knows who brook is.

The fight will probably pull 2m viewers in US. UNKNOWN. Brand is unknown. Brook is not unknown. Learn your unknowns

I had no idea wtf brand was either, I know that afterward that him fighting Kovalev is what matters. Who does GayLoveKin have lined up after this fight?

If you don't know boxing well enough, then you need to look it up, beating him would make a fight with Degale very enticing.... you know, the guy that said triple asswipe WOULD'VE fought AFTER the fight with brook was signed

Brook arguably the best WW, Floyd would be hailed if he fought Brook instead of Berto.

Who knows what the future holds. Those who fight for future instead of concentrating on their present end up like Fonfara. Human beings can only take the burden of thinking about 24 hours. If you think about the past, you will get depressed. If you think about the future, you will get anxious. Live in the present.

[The Hammer]

Right. I mean you can't throw a dead cat without finding a guy who's jumping 2 weight classes to fight the divisions top guy.

Hatton should have been fighting LHW, AMIRITE?

Maidana definitely should have been fighting Klitschko.

Bunch of ducking going on, eh?

Hatton and Maidana got fat.

Brook gained MUSCLE.
