    Got to give credit to Brook

    Can you imagine GGG signing to face Kovalov?

    Would rather he fought anyone else at 160 than making someone come up 2 weights

    Just like the Canelo V Khan fiasco big pay day regardless of the outcome Brooks reputation wont be massively damaged no matter what as he will be a massive underdog.
    Then he moves back down for a big pay day against Khan .
    Could we see fights with saunders eubank brook khan etc all in and around the same aight class ..could be some great match ups in amongst them

    That James5000 guy might need consoling. Jr added another L to his record

    Doesn't this add credence to the thought that nobody at 147 wants to face brook.

    How can Vargas turn down $2 mil.

    100% agree GGG deserves the same criticism Canelo recieved for taking the Khan fight but it could entice Khan into finally fightin special K

    Brook took what Jr turned down. He aint treating it as a cash out

    Fair play to Brook..

    This is a massive step up, but he had options of Thurman Garcia Spence Vargas Bradley All top 147 fighters..

    Again like Khan he a big underdogg this guy punches harder than Canelo..

    Brook never had those options. Thurman just fought Porter. Garcia doesn't want it. Vargas turned down $2 mil. Spence hasn't made an offer.

    Brook didn't have much options at WW once Vargas didn't sign.

    No you are wrong. None of the above are ready to fight kell now. Garcia doesn't want it.

    Brook can fight GGG and no matter what the outcome has had the Spence fight as a mandatory next year.

    Vargas got greedy and ended up with nothing.

    Well Fair play this is a tougher fight out of all of them, and at 160.

    To be fair Brook looks like he out grown 147, and 154 would be natural way up but to 160 that's crazy..
