Comments Thread For: WBA Prez: Golovkin-Brook Rejected Because It's a Business Fight

[REMOVE SHARK 55]

I'm so tired of people trying to compare this fight to Leonard vs. Hagler! Brook's resume @ 147 is nowhere near the level of a Sugar Ray Leonard! To put Brook in the same sentence as Sugar Ray Leonard and Roberto Duran is blasphemy!!!

It doesn't matter whether you're tired or not. This fight draws parallels with that fight as you have a 147 title holder vs 160 champion. I've been vocally negative about this fight but you can't deny facts.

How about comparing it to Simon Brown vs. Lonnie Bradley, or compare it to Canelo Alvarez vs. Amir Khan, but don't compare Brook to Leonard or Duran! That's just plain disrespectful!

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

Brook fought above 150 many times and as high 155 early in his career, before he became a champion at WW.

He is naturally much bigger than Duran. SRL stated recently that he had to work hard to bulk up and maintain weight in order to fight at MW. Brook had to cut weight to make 160.

GGG/Brook is going to be a MW against a MW.

It's a welterweight vs a middleweight. Racism is something else.

No, neither were welterweight champs when they fought Hagler.

Bronx my man I 100% understand where you're coming from. The Fab 4 was my childhood, Kell Brook as it stands has nothing on SRL. Check my post history I'm not a fan boy.

However the parallels are there. 147 Champ vs 160 Champion. That you can compare. If Brook beats GGG is it not comparable to SRL win over Hagler?.

Both Duran and Leonard were 154 pound champs you moron. You keep lying.

As one of the worst racists at this forum, that's something you know a lot more about than I do.

No problem with the implicit comparison between GGG and Hagler?

Whatever I said that's racist you bigot? All I want is Golovkin to move up like all the Black non heavyweights but you want him to get special treatment.
