Comments Thread For: The Mess in The Middleweight Division

[mrjoeblive]

I am a HUGE GGG fan and I totaly agree with the writter and Kagami this is sickening. I really like how well GGG has been fighting and I do believe his hype but just like every other boxer that makes a name for himself I believe everyone jumps on him because he cant sign the very best fight out there, But when he signs against someone 2 weight classes underneath thats disgusting really. I mean just like in Amir Khan's position I give Kell Brrooke a ton of props and respect but its all about the money for him kuz he has ZERO chance. This fighter really is the most ducked and dodged fighter of this time but his choice of signing this fight is just gross. This does not change my feelings about GGG as a fighter but he did lose a some respect from me today.

He is not the most ducked and doged fighter of this time. Not even the last year. He does have the best marketing machine that has people thinking no one wants to fight him. He should be ashamed of himself to take such a fight. If he is so feared how is it he can get a dude TWO FULL CLASSES BELOW HIM TO FIGHT? Kirkland and lara have been begging for a fight with ggg. But when it comes to them ggg is the big ducker. At least saul fought Kirkland and lara. Ggg wants no part of them. Ggg has been fighting soup cans the majority of his career. It's time for him to step up or shut up.

Blame Sergio Martinez who gave the title to the highest bidder. Honorary mentions to Miguel Cotto and Canelo who likewise showed no cojones.

OK... Martinez passed the belt in exchange for his only big money fight. Cotto wanted Floyd more, but eventually passed it to Canelo in exchange for his only big money fight available.

I don't understand why the Russian from Kazakhstan doesn't look to find financial support from his own fatherland... Golovkin simply can't generate big money fights in the U.S.

:hahaha::hilarious:
You've got jokes man.
I'd be surprised if the two of them lasted 5, 6 rounds combined.

Boxing is a business guys. It's not really a sport. You take the fight that will provide you with the most money. Why should Golovkin pass on that chance to get a large sum of money ? Did he say no to any middleweight and chose Brook instead? No. He takes whatever is being offered to him. As long as he hasn't ducked anyone then he is doing fine by me.

Idk about you but it would have been nice to see how GGG reacts to someone of Lara’s caliber.

The same Lara that almost got stopped by a shot Angulo? Or the version who faded down the stretch against Canelo?

Middleweight is the biggest joke of a division in the sport. It is full of crap fighters who overvalue themselves and have no desire at all to prove themselves the best. It is quickly turning into the kind of **** show HW was at its worst a few years back, only at least then the HWs would avoid any real competition in hopes of landing Wlad.

This is like HW was, except none of them actually want to fight the best fighter in the division. There is ]not one top fighter (including Golovkin with this move) that I think deserves the support of the fans.

Kirkland? :gay: You haters are just comical.

Lara? Yeah sure:

DiBella would like to see fight a true welterweight or a heavier opponent. When I asked about Jacobs or Lara, told "TV problems."

Yeah you rather have GGG not fight at all right? You are some boxing fan. LOL. The fight is in 8 weeks, it was either Brook or no fight at all since Eubank pulled out at the last minute. Do you even have the slightest idea that HBO had a set date for Sept 10th?

Brook as a stay busy fight is MUCH better than Brand, pretty sure you support Ward because he agreed to fight Kovalev.

GGG agreed to fight Canelo, Jacobs, Saunders and Eubank.

He wants to fight again in December so what?

You guys had Khan winning against Canelo until he got chinned.

In which of his 35+ fights did Brook ever show a bad chin? Not even Porter could hurt him.

I like Brook but Carson Jones and Senchenko clearly hurt him, GGG bowls over guys his own size, what chance does Brook have of staying upright in this fight? None.

This is why you GGG fans have been exposed to be just as bad as the *****s and *******s of yesteryear, you will say anything to defend your favourite fighter, even stuff that clearly isn't true.

Brook is just as bad as Brand, just because he's more well known doesn't wash over the fact that like Brand he has no chance to win the fight. Brand had his last fight at 175 against an undefeated prospect, What does Brook have at 160, jackshit.

But keep spinning it, I don't blame you.... just don't try to paint yourself in a better light than the PBC fan boys you love attacking.
