      The way to get same day weigh-ins is to tell Suleiman it will screw Canelo lol

        WTF does Lemieux have to do with G fighting Brook instead of one of the 154 pounders? Canelo fighting Khan?

        Nice try at deflection doe.

          Had GGG-Canelo fought Lubin and J-rock and crush them in similar fashion or better you would still crucify them regardless. Where were these fighters when GGG was looking for a fight at 160? Eubank Jr didn't sign the deadline and Hearn looked the otherway and gave it to Brook since Brook was the only one willing to sign in his stable because it was a contract with Eddie Hearn.

If Hurd moves up, middleweight gets a little better. Don't want Charlo to move up for a while because his brother is there and if they get titles, they'll never fight so it's a waste. But imagine Hurd vs Lemueix or either Charlo vs Jacobs
            Not to mention Canelo and GGG vs either. And I forgot Andrade just moved up also. 160 could be lit by late 2018
            I believe if the Charlo bros fights someone their own size that have good speed, skills and power like they would lose, like to Danny Jacobs and Andrade. Ronnie Shields already crossed out the possibility of a clash immediately for some reason despite being both under Haymon.

              Why are you setting the 154 bar lower for G?

              The 154 lb guys he shoulda been looking at is one of the Charlos, Lara, or Andrade.

              Any of those are more legit as a challenge than Brook.

              You don't go looking at a 160 lber, only to switch to a welter after 24 hours.

                That's because they're not named Golovkin. Personally I don't think a fighter has to move up to get acknowledged as a good fighter. I've always felt that way. Michael Spinks would still be an ATG if he hadn't moved to Heavyweight. He may not get as much buzz but he would still be an amazing fighter.

                  Why would GGG be inactive to chase a 154 pounder when there was already events planned, at september at 160 and WITH THE HEARN PROMOTIONS? Why would he cancel that fight in britain?

                  And why would GGG move down to 154 and vacate his belts to fight nobodies that doesnt even fight each other?

                    Why would he have to vacate to go down for one fight?

                    And, we both know the only reason Brook got the call was money.

                    There are other Hearn guys he could have fought as more of a challenge and you know it.

                      And why would GGG move down to 154? Why would he chase nobodies that doesn't even fight each other once again you avoid that question.

                      And tell me one fighter from the Hearn stable at 160 that is the caliber of Eubank Jr.

                      And tell me once more why GGG should cancel is fight at september when all of the events were planned and done?
