Comments Thread For: Golovkin: This is Different, I'm Not Doing What Canelo Did!

Yeah, ALL credit to Brook, but the fight is still a farce...even so I'd beyond love to see GayLoveKin lose and his career be over, would be fantastic.

It will be epic if Brook pulls it off.

Can you count? What's 155-147? Now what's 160-147? OK we have that established. Brook asked before the fight was signed several months ago about a 157 lb cw. He was turned down and GayLoveKin said "he's too small", which he's now gone back on and said that's he's his size...changed his mind quick with his people scripting all his stuff.

Brook was asked after Eubank fell through, and jumped at it because of the money more than anything I'm quite sure. Brooks not too small when the 160 pound assclown is making career high money. It's conveinient huh?

You can try to play a numbers game if you want, but Im not giving Canelo any advantage because he chooses to fight at the bare minimum of the weight division. Thats Canelos choice. What we have on one hand, is a MW champ supposedly tuning up for a fight with another MW champ, by choosing to fight a welterweight contender. On the other hand, we have a MW champ, accepting a WW champ, after being ducked amd given a belt by a MW world champ, then being ducked by the British MW champ, and losing months of potential negotiating time in the process. If Canelo had been a 154 champ rather than a 160 champ, I would agree with you. But Canelo was, and still is, a 160 lb WORLD CHAMPION.

Wtf is 155...?

I just wish the great GGG was as willing to fight guys that campaign in divisions higher than his home spot. As he is to fight guys campaigning in divisions lower than his beloved 160lb max.

Funny gggs critics say brook fight is a farce. Because we know theyd then say GGG should fight someone his own size. Once GGG beats eubank who is bigger than GGG, eubank would be a bum, like lemiex and Murray.
So don't know which is worse bloating an opponent or fighting bums

Most vaGGGina fans already have said that themselves lol. I NEVER thought Eubank was some world beater to begin with.

I do not consider Canelo a MW world champion at all. In fact, imo he won't ever fight Andrade, the charlo brothers (or not the better one at least), he's not going to give Lara a rematch, and Saunders ducked Rosado to hold that belt in order to keep it as leverage for Canelo to fight the weakest champ @ 160...therefore, I'm not giving him ANY sort of pass...the khan fight was a farce too. I'm telling you that no matter how you slice it, GayLoveKin is doing the EXACT same thing by fighting Brook, even though Mr 154-168 wouldn't come down 3 lbs. So now it's a 13 lb fighting weight advantage, how one could say what Canelo did was worse is simply idiotic...BUT we are talking about old Manny fans and haters of Mayweather so yeah..

[Chuckguy]

Yes it's worse, the WW is going up 5lbs more.

I agree me Clarke
GGG is making a ww move up two WHOLE weight classless! Fawking shameless

Green for the vaGGGina haha

[puga]

yes you are, well, similarly but brook has not been KTFO like khan did so i guess what canelo did is about 3x worse, still a **** fight

[Fetta]

It will be epic if Brook pulls it off.

No win situation for GGG.

He loses and he was a hype job who lost to a WW, he wins and he was a MW who beat a WW.

Horrible decision to sign

One step forward followed 3 steps back

You may not consider Canelo a MW champ, however the MW lineage, Ring mag, ESPN, Fight News, and others disagree with you. I am glad you can see the ducking ways of Canelo. I guess we'll just have to disagree on this being the exact same since I dont see one guy selecting, seeking out, a welterweight contender as being the same as accepting a welterweight champ, after seeking a MW champ of the world, then the British MW champ. Just not the same to me. Again, you mention 157. 157 has nothing to do with this. GGG was signed to fight Eubank. Eubank tucked his tail and Brook stepped up. Hearn made the offer to Brook for 160. 157 was never discussed. Brook signed the contract to fight at 160. If you have a problem with that, you should take it up with Ezekiel Brook. Its not Golovkins fault that 2 MW champs wouldn't fight amd a welterweight champ agreed to the terms set forth to fight Chris Eubank. You should also take your grievance up with Eubank for leading not only Golovkin, but all of us boxing fans, on for several weeks.

Like it has been pointed out, time is not on Golovkins side career wise. He doesnt have time to sit and wait, or go back to square one with another fighter who could just jerk him around like Canelo and Eubank have been doing for months now, when there is a guy willing to step up to the plate and be a man
