    Brook fought at SWW multiple times early in his career and fought at MW once.

          Duran and sugar ray legacy would in fact exist because that was the norm back then as 154 was nonexistent so moving from 147-160 was the next option

            We all know it's a business fight, however as soon as Canelo vacated the WBC belt, the WBA should have ordered GGG vs. Jacobs! The WBA is part of the problem, i.e. "regular champ," "interim champ," etc.

              We all know they part of the problem but doesn't change the fact they did right thing especially considering brook not even a WBA belt holder in division he was a champ at

There is no reason on earth for GGG to have fought Wade unless we got bs ass alphabet rankings saying he needs to cuz certainly fans weren't screaming for that fight to happen or the first 20 fights they'd like to see GGG in.
                Exactly! Why the **** was Wade made a mandatory? How did David Avanesyan become Keith Thurman's mandatory for beating 44-year old Sugar Shane Mosely?

                  They did the right thing here, but they just did the wrong thing again just recently! They made Avanesyan the mandatory for Thurman, because he beat Shane Mosely! WTF???

                    Duran fought at 154 then Hagler at 157, not 13 pound jump.
