Should GGG - BROOK Fight have been allowed?

[Jim Tom]

After watching how Liam Smith worked out Brook I couldn't help wondering why the GGG - BROOK was even made. Brook is slow, has a double chin and will just be a punch bag. He can not get out of any shots this will not be good to watch.

Question is why such a fight would have been allowed to go ahead?

Brook is not slow and he will be ripped come fight night.

When you say allowed, do you mean legally?

I think it is clear why the fight was made. Kell Brook can't get any big fights at Welterweight (for whatever reasons) and Golovkin can't get any big fights at Middleweight (because all are running scared). GGG's team were in talks with Team Eubank, and after that fell through, Eddie looked for a quick replacement in Kell.

I feel like you already know this, and just want to express your hate for GGG and this fight.

I dont mind fighters jumping weight classes etc but at least prove your self at the weight before getting a shot at the title. Guerrero did basically the same thing but had to prove himself he can handle himself at the weight before opportunity came knocking.

Should ****** threads like these be allowed?

This fight is how LEGENDS are made.

Far from it. Actually I think GGG is a genuinely nice guy and he is definitely good at what he does. I also think his team protected him from some good middleweight because he is not a spring chicken yet he has fought no one. Yes fighting Brook is a new low but seriously I think fighters should be protected.

When a guy is bowling everyone over at his weight I believe he should move up to test himself, Brook hasn't cleared the decks at his weight and the fights he has had against highe echelon of fighter had left bigger questions than answers.

Why GGG is fighting a guy two wrights lower than himself is brutally evident, for the pay day. Do I agree with this fight, no. Do I understand why it's happening, yes.

The WBA would also appear to share your belief.

In that case, many legends would be prevented from becoming legends man.

Who exactly would not allow this fight????? If you have any knowledge of boxing history you should know boxers have moved up this much in weight and often much more in weight hundreds of times. None of those fights were not allowed. Bob Foster, the great light heavyweight champ moved up to fight Ali who was weighing about 215 pounds. Henry Armstrong was a featherweight who fought for the middleweight title. Light heavyweight champ Michael Spinks beat 215 pound heavyweight champ Larry Holmes. I could give you a hundred other examples of fighters moving up much more than 13 pounds. The fact that Brook is a 6 to 1 underdog doesn't make the fight illegal either. Spence was a 100 to 1 favorite to beat Bundu and nobody outlawed that fight. Brook is a world champion and he has weighed more than GGG the last two weigh ins.
