GGG ****ed up the Welterweight Division
Imagine if GGG didn't fight a welterweight and fought someone in his own weight class or moved up a weight class and had a one off fight. Jesse Vargas v. Kell Brook was a unification. The winner was mandated by the IBF to fight Errol Spence. Spence would have the WBO & IBF. Crawford would've had to fight either Thurman or Spence for a belt when he moved up. -
Brook/Vargas was gonna fall apart regardless because Vargas wasn't happy with his purse. doubt they could've worked that out. -
I know the reasons for why it happened, but I hated that fight from the get-go.
It's amazing how quickly a fight can happen when a guy is challenged by a smaller man, whereas it's so damn hard to get a peep out of them when they are challenged by a bigger man.Comment

Stop with the lies. Vargas had already agreed to the fight and was cool with his purse.
My next fight is confirmed for September 3rd in the UK vs Kell Brook. We are preparing for a KO victory and on becoming the #wbo & #ibf world champion. @dcblackkobra bigtexas4191 davidllevi Thank you for your support.

I signed my part of the deal a month ago but things have changed and I want to update and apologize to my fans. The date for my next fight has been changed do to the fact that Brook is having trouble signing his end of the deal. Thank you for your support and I will keep you informed. #teamvargas @dcblackkobra #wbo #unification #fight #boxing real_water

Vargas and Hearn both alluded to the fact the purse wasn't enough..
Anyways don't worry about Crawford, his first fight at 147 he wouldn't be going for the top guys.. Horn happens to be the weakest of the lot so it's a good thing there will be 2 unification fights against really good fighters..
Though I am fan of both Thurman vs Crawford would be awesome..Comment

Not true. Vargas had agreed to the money and signed his end of the gentlemans agreement

Yes, I remember that GGG literally forced Brook to fight him at gunpoint no less.
Because Eubank unfortunately forgot his signing pen and had a roast in the oven, he just couldn't fight GGG. So they took out the guns, flew to England and forced Brook to sign to fight. There was nothing he could do.

Nope didn't force him. But didn't have to fight a welterweight. Picking on guys 2 division lower isn't good for the sport as we're now seeing.Yes, I remember that GGG literally forced Brook to fight him at gunpoint no less.
