Comments Thread For: Gennady Golovkin Tested, Stops Kell Brook in Five Rounds

[Robbie Barrett]

After this fight everyone should call for Lil G to fight the Ward-Kovalev winner. It's acceptable for fighters 2 divisions apart to fight now according to Lil Ginas.

Once GGG destroys Brook I'm going to remind it to you.

And I will say Kell was the WW champion and GGG is a coward, which is true. A cherry-pick gone wrong is still a cherry-pick.

Who should he have fought instead?

Brook is undefeated, large for his current weight class, and should be respected as an opponent moving up for a legitamate challenge.

Any links that show that he tried to make a fight with a LHW or a SMW?

No.

Then why are we calling Brook the next best option?

Why would/should he make a fight with a LHW or SMW?

Did any of them challenge GGG and agree to move down?

Because Brook challenged him and agreed to move up.

And GGG has already said he is unifying 160 first, so why expect him to move up before that happens??

Don't worry, i'll wait.

1. Because YOU talked about respected opponents. Fighting a JMW or a SMW would provide a 'more respectable' opponent/challenge for GGG. Remember this is boxing and some of us still expect boxers to challenge themselves.

2. Yes. Guys who are JMW and SMW have challenged GGG. GGG does not love in a reality where he can only fight at 160. Neither do you, by the way.

3. Brook did challenge him. So what? Broner challenged Pac. Are they fighting?

4. Is GGG unifying the MW division by fighting Brook? No. Is Brook a mando? No. Is it possible to go up for a challenge and come back down after to finish what he started? Yes.

1. That's just not true at all. Higher weight does not automatically = respectable.

2. Who has challenged him with a realistic intend to fight him at those weights?

3. What do you mean, so what? We don't give credit due to a fighter who challenges a fighter higher ranked and considered better? And what does Broner/Pac have to do with anything? It would be a good fight if it happened, but a win for Broner over Pac isn't as meangingful as a win for Brook over GGG.

4. This isn't a unification bout but the point is why should he move from the division without unifying?
