Originally posted by Redd Foxx View PostI get what you're saying but it sounds like you're playing semantics. 'Game' can indicate both willingness and readiness. Brook was willing, but no where near ready. His orbital didn't accidentally break, forcing him to quit. It was the byproduct of getting punched in the face. He didn't make it half way through the fight. You could say Kell was game to fight Genady, but I wouldn't say Golovkin defeated a game opponent in Kell Brook since Brook was obliterated quickly. Again, it's semantics. Nothing to get worked up over.

Originally posted by Redd Foxx View PostI think I found a point we can agree on. People don't realize that even a guy like Brandon Rios (my classic example) has to go through a LOT just to get to the level that he can fight the Pacs and Bradleys of the world. Years of working your ass in training, paying your dues. Sometimes, you're just not good enough and you choose to preserve your health rather than give the crowd the Roman colosseum type carnage they're lusting after. Few cowards make it to the upper levels of the hurt business.

I've been saying this for awhile. The whole "sweet pea"Golovkin theory by his fans is the most idiotic thing that I've ever heard of.

Anyhow, having read many stupid posts claiming that said champ is simply letting himself get hit for the fans, I thought this thread was funny. Clearly, it's an issue of defense and the fact that everyone gets hit at some point. Sad that people feel the need to spin it into some sort of brave act.
