Day 9000: On a scale of 1-10, rate GGG’s win over Brook

[Thuglife Nelo]

Khan is a small welterweight who can't punch hard. Brook is a huge welterweight who says it kills him to make 147 and he is so hungry he has trouble getting to sleep. Brook is anything but a natural welterweight. he is a big 154 pound boxer who can punch and his recent fights have been at 154. Brook is also a big puncher. Khan is scared to death to fight even a weight drained 147 pound brook. Brook was probably about the same weight as GGG when they fought and it was muscle not fat. Don't try to make fighting glass jawed Khan who never won a title at 147 the same as fighting Brook because it damn sure isn't. Don't tell another lie and say GGG picked out Brook and drug him up to 160. GGG was all set to fight hard punching big middleweight Eubank. Everything was set to go including the date the site and the purses of the fighters. GGG wasn't even thinking about Brook. At the last minute Eubank backs out of the fight and it was 100% Brook's idea to step in and take Eubank's place. Brook never asked for GGG to fight him at any weight below 160 nor should he have. In contrast Canelo had no fight and lots of time to ;pick an opponent and as the cash cow he can pick any opponent he wants. Canelo picked marshmellow small welterweight Khan and fought him at 155 which was Canelo's favorite weight at that time.

Khan isn’t a “small welterweight” at all! Lol. Who has more power? Paulie or Khan?

You’re right! Fighters are bullshetters innit? “154-168 is ez fomi”

"As I said in the last fight, right now I'll put on the gloves again." True, fighters are full of **** at times.

Would Canelo vs Khan at 160 been more fair? Derp derp

I think you might be the only guy in the world who says derp derp, Mayne, funna, we in this thang mayne and that's all she wrote on a daily basis..

Brook asked K2 for a 157 catchweight, Team GGG shot it down. Brook had to fight at the full 160!

So what, GGG was a middleweight champ, why should he have fought at 157?

I underscored Charlo's victory over Koborov but the more I think about it I think my 6 is an overscore for GGG here. He did what he had to do. Figured out Brook and then pounded him out of there. But with the underwhelming opponent I should have dropped it down to like a 4.

Both were Champions. Youre saying Champions have never met in the middle for catchweights?

There was only one title on the line. There is no freaking 157 or 155 title.

[JakeTheBoxer]

It wasnt GGG`s problem that Brook wanted to fight for a middleweight championship.

GGG is a big middleweight. Why should he drain him self for somebody?

So Geale thought Cotto’s “157” was ******?

There was no “freaking” 157 for Oscar vs Hopkins?

You Canelo haters really don’t think...

Brook asked for 157 even before the Eubank vs GGG bout was announced. GGG said “he’s too small, he’s a clown.” Just a year before he said he wanted to fight the winner of May vs PAC at 154. So was it really “small” or perhaps GGG is just a bullshetter?
