    GGG is not a small MW....That's just foolish to say. Cotto, Martinez, Hagler....They are small MW's. GGG is a big MW. He was more imposing than Murray who's whole schtick is being a big MW. He dwarfed Lemieux and Stevens(who has fought at 168 I believe).

    Brook is rather big though and very talented and if he can take GGG punches even for a second he is gonna win this fight but that doesn't justify it, it's a money grab for both guys with the added motivation for Brook to leapfrog his legacy and GGG to leapfrog his exposure.

    De La Hoya/Pacquiao was still a cherrypick even though it went wrong for Oscar.

      who did GGG beat to indicate he can beat a 6'1" strong 168er with a good chin, power, long reach, a good jab, good stamina and underrated boxing ability?


      no one


      Prime Froch beats the dog ***** out of GGG....Froch dominates guys who come to him.

      I seriously doubt GGG would outbox him considering he eats his opponents punches on the way in and doesn't do a lot of work once he gets inside

        GGG's resume is far more stacked than these 2. Just count how many top 10 guys he's fought. I don't find GGG overrated at all, Ward ducked him at 168, Froch ducekd him etc, that tells me enough. When 154 pounders start ducking Spence, or 147 pounders start ducking Crawford I'll re-evaluate my thoughts on them.

        If you have GGG as overrated feel free to put him on your list.

          well GGG has been pro far longer than both Spence and Crawford... Ive never said GGG is overrated but if you want to use resumes as a premise of saying everyone else is overrated then the same logic should apply to what some call the #1 or top 3 boxer on the planet. Ward did not duck GGG that is an overused statement, GGGs management didn't think it would be good business and passed (no reason to feel bad and make up sht, its life) nobody ducked anyone in that situation.. there were never any negotiations just talk. Spence and Crawford are on the rise GGG is nearing the end, hopefully he gets some big fights soon.

            When HBO sat Ward and GGG down who said they were not ready? GGG wanted the Ward fight, Ward only wanted the fight when GGG had fights lined up. Is it only a coincidence that Ward offered a fight when he was signed to fight Lemieux, and promised a fight with Canelo after? Stop tryig to make it sound like GGG passed because he thought Ward was too much.

                Bigger and more dangerous? GGG is far better than Kovalev. Everyone knows this, Kovalev was GGG's sparring partner. GGG knocked Kovalev in sparring and beat him up.

                His team passed? WHO IS THE ONE WHO TURNED DOWN THE FIGHT WHEN HBO SAT THEM BOTH DOWN? Ward you ****** chimp. Also his team never said anyone at 168, they said they'd take the fight at 168 if it made SENSE. And Ward like the coward he is offered a fight when GGG had Lemieux lined up and was promised a fight with Canelo. I'm tired of you demos lying acting like GGG or his team turned down the fight because they didnt want Ward.
