Comments Thread For: Spence: Brook Can Drop Out of Golovkin Fight, Face Me Instead

[AD86]

****** seasons in full swing I see, to even try and insinuate that Brooks avoiding Spence by putting his unbeaten record on the line by moving up two weights against one of the most avoided fighters in in the sport is crazy. Although the GGG fight is for good money its less as whats been discussed for him fighting Khan so its hardly like it can be described as purely a cash grab either. Both Hearn and Brook have said in interviews finding good fights for Brook has been troublesome as fighters are asking for too much money to make it viable which was why when this fight was offered it was taken, the amount of people that were moaning Canelo ducking GGG over 5 pounds should have been enough for Brook to get the credit he deserves for going up 13 pounds for this fight.

Nobody here knows who Spence is, only people follow the sport closely.

It would do the same numbers as Brook v Jo Jo Dan or something, maybe a little more. I'm not saying they're similar level of fighter of course, but the British public don't know either of them.

People need to stop overestimating Spence's worth right now. He's still basically an unknown fighter outside of people who watch the sport religiously and the types that come on these forums.

Nobody is saying he isn't good but he's still not a known fighter in places like here. Far from it.

The only reason why people on here even know who Spence is because Mayweather mentioned him as the future. 90% of Spences following are Mayweather fanboys that cant think or judge for themselves, they rely strictly what comes out of Floyds mouth.

I see Brook is so overyhyped to the ****ing gills on this forum, the slow kunt hugged Porter to death, is only 'name' on his record in over a DECADE of fighting at welterweight and now SOLD HIS UNDEFEATED RECORD just to to lose to Golovkin. Hope Brook get's smashed and sent back to some chav haven where no doubt his ****sexual desires will act up again and this time hopefully the attack will be swift and precise.

He negated everything Wlad does well. So yeah, he did a good job at doing what others couldn't do for a decade.

It wasn't pretty at all, but it was effective. Those two fighting as never going to be a good fight to watch but i felt Fury was stylistically wrong for Wlad.

fury fans are falling over themselves. i think wlad being a wuss had more to do with fury winning than anything else. imho

you come off as utterly ******ed. Is he a household name right now, of course not. Regardless of what Floyd thinks about him, Haymon and the networks like his potential and seem to think he has a bright future ahead of him.

Teddy Atlas spoke at length about him on the most recent card. ESPN did a short feature and interview with him. NBC just gave him an opportunity on a Sunday afternoon. He has headlined other cards.

Spence is a much more winnable fight than GGG. But Brook is headlining a big PPV card and getting payed very well to do so. Asking him to drop out to face Spence makes no sense.

I doubt we see Brook fighting at WW again anyway.

Maybe but Wlad always fights scared and others could never capitalise on it. Fury did, so he still did what others couldn't do. So he obviously did something right that night.

I'm not really a fan of either guy anyway. I don't really care about seeing them fight again as it was ugly but if someone can't recognise what Fury did well that night, then they don't know what they're looking at and should probably find another sport to watch.

Spence sounds ****** and naive to how boxing works. Brook ain't ducking him he's literally moving up 2 weight classes taking a much harder fight and making 4X the money you could ever offer. How is that ducking?

The real shame is that Haymon has all these fighters at welterweight 2 of which have titles yet for some strange reason Spence has been steered from day 1 into fights to jump up the IBF rankings fighting eliminators to get a mandatory shot at the IBF belt that Brook owns rather then just directly fight either of the Haymon belt holders or top Haymon fighters. He don't need eliminators just Haymon's sign off. And if you buy the BS that these fighters won't fight him and it's not haymon calling the shots then why not steer him into fights to climb up the WBC or WBA rankings to force a mandatory against Thurman or Danny? Truth is Haymon don't want these guys to fight so steered them all to get their own belts and avoid one another that's why he's calling out Brook a NON Haymon fighter when in theory a in house fight against Haymon fighters and champions should be the easiest fight to make.

Damn Dunn, did I hit a nerve? Never really got the impression from past posts between you and I that you would resort to childish name calling but it is what it is I guess.

Anyways man, I stand by my original assessment of him regardless of the points you are trying to prove. The only reason why he has any exposure is because he has Mayweathers blessing which is HUGE dont get me wrong about that but there are lots of other guys in boxing that gained notoriety on their own merit, not piggybacking off a retired fighters blessing.

youre right. fury did something no one else has in this run of his. the rush to match him vs ATGs is insane though. imho
