    But made the following excuses for a life long MW that fought a WW moving up 2 weight classes:

    When Gennady Golovkin was 18 years old he fought at Light Welterweight (141lb) in the amateurs.

    Andre Ward fought at Middleweight (165lb) and Light Heavyweight (176lb) in the amateurs at the age of 18.
    When Ward turned pro, he had a couple fights at MW (160lb)

    When Canelo was 18 years old, Canelo fought at Welterweight in the Pros. (147lb)

    When Kell Brook was 18 years old, Brook fought at Welterweight (147lb) in the Pros.

    There is that myth that some fighters moved up alot in weight and some others did not.

    Golovkin was in the Kazakh amateur program and didn't turn pro until age 24.
    Ward turned pro at Age 20.
    Brook and Canelo were already in the Professinal Rankings at age 18.

    Summary
    Age 18 and now, how much did each fighter move up?

    Golovkin 141lb > 160, moved up 19lb
    Ward 165-176lb > 168-175, moved up 0lb
    Brook 147lb > 147-160, moved up 13lb
    Canelo 147lb > 154-155, moved up 8lb


    Ward, after turning pro, had a couple fights at MW (160lb), which would put Ward at moving up 15lb from his lowest weight.

    Maybe that cleared up some myths up that are out there.

    GGG by knockout/TKO/DQ is 3:1, you surely want some free money?





    The real mismatch is Canelo vs Liam Smith according to actual odds and yet you try to downplay GGG vs Brook?

    GGG Brook is much closer than GGG vs Eubank/Saunders/Jacobs, who all opened at about 1:10 when they were listed

    Post prove of your bets on this fight or do you hate money?

    If you're just a typical hater, better shut up.

    I am not a big fan of that fight, i am just trying to be logical.

    Would have preferred GGG to fight Canelo, Saunders, Jacobs or Eubank.

    I hope they grow some balls in due time!



    I know the Anti GGG Agenda is in full force, but what about some food for thoughts about the situation.

    GGG needed an opponent, quick, very quick. Eubank pulled out for a fight in 8 weeks.

    Looking at 160
    GGG called out everyone. Every top middleweight ducked him.

    Looking at 168
    Zurdo has an injury, out for 5 months.
    DeGale and Jack have a unification at the end of the year.

    Looking at 154
    Andrade wants to unify first and face GGG for big $$$ in 2-3 years.
    Lara talks big on twitter and in interviews, never once his team contacted K2, also has no fans, also gets no $$ from HBO. Also his own promoter says fight cannot happen because of "TV problems":



    Charlo bros want nothing to do with GGG.

    Looking at 147
    Brook, ranked #1 at 147, undeafeated, huge at the weight, steps up and takes the deal Eubank declined, HBO already had the UK deal with K2 and Matchroom ready and needed a willing opponent for a fight in 8 weeks.

    Ding Ding Ding we have a winner. Probs to Kell Brook for knocking out all the cowards with one shot and giving the GGG Antis a meltdown.

    Marvin Hagler, one of the ATG MWs, his biggest fights were against the best guys from lower weights (Duran, Hearns, and Sugar Ray Leonard, who was a huge welterweight like Brook who actually defeated Marvin Hagler)

        I wonder if this is true. Like to hear it from Spence’s mouth.

                    Hmm. So you both agree that in 2009-2010, when Manny turned down/denied drug testing requested by Floyd, it was because he was using PEDs, ultimately tanking the fight. Right?

                      He's not the only fighter I am a fan of that I personally deem as suspect.

                      In fact I'll go as far as to say I think just about all these guys at world level are using some ****.
