    Duran or Sugar Rays legacy wouldn't exist with this thinking.

      Mendoza just said that Brook moving up from WW isn't the reason they refused to sanction the fight.

      Interesting that the best thing you could say about Jnr is that he lost to BJS!

        GGG can't fight Jacobs next because Jacobs has signed for another fight.

        This is professional boxing - every voluntary defence by a world champion is a business fight, if you want to look at it that way.

        Something dodgy is going on behind the scenes. We'll have to wait to find out what it is.
        This is the worst fight in boxing history, if you weren't a blind little fan girl you'd realize that.

          Did you you just compare Kell to Duran and Leonard? Both of whom had fought at 154.

            Yet Golovkin hasn't fought Saunders.

              Maybe they are prejudice vs whites like anyone who calls that fraud out.

                people actually mad at WBA here but this time they made the right decision

                foh with a guy jumping up from 2 weight class lower fighting for MW belts all that sudden. Only IBF is understandable a little because Brook is their champion in ww at least but WBA did the right thing and WBC should do the same...

                  The WBA are ignoring the fact that GGG signed to fight Eubank Jnr and only accepted Brook as a replacement when Jnr refused to sign himself.

                      And if the WBA see GGG/Brook is a business fight, why wouldn't they see GGG/Eubank in the same way?

                      Eubank isn't GGG's mando any more than Brook is.
                      Eubank was top 5 in WBA rankings for starters, brooks not even a WBA belt holder in weight class he fight in most of time you see guys moving up in weight to fight for same belt in new division,also brook announcement came out of nowhere, loeffler let Hearn punk him into a cash grab and scrutiny so you GGG fanboys deal with y'all idol can do no wrong in y'all eyes anyways so stop all the b1tching
