Well, it gets Lara's feet wet and cancels out the old "Lara should get his feet wet in the division before calling out GGG" excuse.

Lara couldn't handle Cameltoč at 154, he'd fold like a chair in a round vs Triple Duck.

The thing with GGG is he is in fact exciting, but he's taking liberties with his own fans. I'm not exaggerating I was likely a GGG fan before most on here, I'm a huge Klitschko fan, I've seen nearly every K2 fight in recent years for as long as I can remember, I used to have GGG and his logo on my Facebook cover photo and then he exploded and it became too casual so I dropped it, then all of a sudden he picked up these most de****able fans from god knows where and it became ugly to be his fan upon the victories he was scoring against he opposition he was facing, it got out of control so fast I had to distance myself. They're all anti Ward and Floyd degenerate haters, I don't think it's a white/black racial thing just an anti Ward Floyd thing as they're the two best boxers in the p4p, I'm sure his core fan base is Pac's. that explains shyt.

That's what the general consensus is. Hey, when your guy gets KOed by old man Marquez and then utterly outclassed by his #1 arch nemesis in the biggest fight in decades, a fight 5 or 6 years in the making, you gotta find someone else to root for, right?

Saunders: no thanks
Jacobs: no thanks
Eubanks : guess not
Canelo: maybe late 2017

Brook signs in 24 hours....I guess you take what you can get if your GGG... It's a crap fight with a already determined outcome but at least they won't try to make it PPV like Canelo-Khan was...

When the fk will these MW get in the ring with this guy? It's ridiculous

Better yet, when will Saunders/Jacobs/Eubank get in the ring with each other? It's not like they need to fight GGG to maintain dignity and relevance, but they aren't even fighting the second-best options. MW is all ****ed up right now because we barely get match-ups that matter.

Na.....we got Jacobs-Mora 2 and Saunders vs a no name bum looming hahaaa

Hearn is cashing Brook out. Joshua is his main cash cow now.

After Brook beats GGG he's going after Joshua next.

[IMDAZED]

Ehh, I'm over the initial disappointment. It's almost to be expected that GGG will underwhelm with his choice of opposition.

[darius45]

It will be hard to root for GGG in this fight, even being a GGG fan. Not that I want GGG to lose, but I'm not itching for the annihilation of Brook either. At most, I'd like to see Brook still standing after 12 rounds, but realistically, I'll be counting down the minutes until he gets KO'd.

This is great exposure for GGG, and a terrible decision for Brook. Brook should be focusing on Garcia and Thurman, and once his "0" is gone, he'll lose leverage in those negotiations.

GGG has literally run out of opponents. And Ward has seemingly left the picture for good, now that he's at 175.

[Jubei]

Not a huge fan of that fight, but what other option did GGG have?

Lara? Even Haymons little puppy Lou DiBella, says the fight would have "TV Problems"

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

First of all I respect your honesty. But where I disagree with you is the bold part. Ward and Mayweather or much different out the ring. I hear MANY people say they don't like Floyd because he is: Arrogant, Flashes money, a woman beater etc.... So why not like Ward when he is the completely opposite?

I will take it a step forward. These same people claim they Love knock outs but don't like Deonte Wilder? But like pussie g? It's all about racism period. These are three great fighters ONE of them has a higher KO% than pussie g yet they are all hated by the same type of people. I wonder what these three have in common??? HMMMMMM

People don't like Wilder not because of his race. It's because the dude is a terrible boxer. Watch him fight. Sooooo off balance, constantly. Absolutely no defense at all. The reason he's gone as far as he has, is cuz of his power. That's it. He's been facing journey men type of fighters and he gets hit clean by them. Some of them actually get him into trouble cuz of how terrible his defense is. Wilder's untested, and yet he's a champ. How can a champ be untested? It doesn't make sense.

I know why he's a bad boxer though. It's cuz he got started in the sport late. He started in his 20's, whereas most of the top fighters start when they're 12. I'm still a fan of Wilder though. I just know what he is and what he isn't. He's an exciting fighter with a lot of KO's and he happens to have a piece of the Heavyweight strap. I also know that he's no where near as good as some people on there think.

A little update about Lara and Jacobs, DiBella being asked why his fighters are not fighting Golovkin:

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