Why do people complain about the Kell Brook fight? All the other MW did not want to face GGG, that's Canelo, Eubank, Saunders, Jacobs. Kell did it for the same pay Eubank declined, and Kell Brook is more popular than Eubank and Saunders.[/QUOTE

Because those 4 aren't the only middleweights out there and most people believe if you can't fight a guy your size, you fight a guy from a higher weight class. Eubank didnt decline, Hearn walked away because if the negotiation difficulties with Eubank Sr. This is a business fight...just like the WBA said.

So why did Floyd fight jmm? There's so many he could have fought but chose jmm. Why did he choose berto? He wasn't coming off long lay off so why fiught berto?
GGG is fighting on brooks turf so that's a big disadvantage enough

If GGG fights anyone outside the top 4, he gets drilled for picking on scrubs.

It's a no-win situation.

Except for, you know, his W-L record.

This fight is pathetic, notice how all of the picture were from that upward angle so you wont notice the dramatic size difference between the two. Yet you can still see how far up Kell is looking up at GGG.....SMH

Gena looks a bit thin never seen him like that.

I won't argue the merits of Mayweather fighting JMM. He did enough before and after to get a pass either way. Berto was a soft touch to go into retirement. Not even anything a reasonable fan should use to defend another fighters decision to fight a soft touch in his prime.

From a pure boxing perspective it's better to fight a ranked JMW, a lower ranked MW or SMW than fight a welterweight. Saying it's a no win situation is a copy out to calling a spade a spade. I ain mad at the cash grab though.

He fought Wade and people still complained.

He gets called out because he is a coward and a liar.

He said he would fight Degale and Ramirez and then turned around and said they were not well known enough to move up for.

He said he would not fight Lara because he wasn't a MW but pulled up a WW in Brook.

GGG is B*tch made plain and simple.
