    That's correct. Every fighter who takes to the ring deserves respect for this very reason.

    Brook has taken the hardest fight out there for him; the very hardest fight there is. Of course there are pay offs. Of course there's money :)lol: "he's doing it for the money"). Of course he can spin a loss (like almost every fight). You'd have to be a ****ING MORON to take this fight without these payoffs.

    But refusing him credit for taking the most dangerous available fight because there's money and because he can excuse the loss is also moronic. In fact, it's disgraceful. Because Brook hasn't taken a fight with a guy you like, or a fighter you think he should have met, you are trying to write off an exceptionally brave move, probably the bravest piece of matchmaking i've ever seen.

    Pathetic.

    And maybe Brook will "check out" before he has to, that's possible. It's also possible he'll be knocked unconscious. There's no way for you to know. At. All.

    I don't look at it that way.

    There's no call whatsoever for this fight. Brook done nothing to warrant it or even make it the slightest bit interesting. Its an noncompetitive mismatch.
    He saw the reaction Khan got for fight Canelo and clearly wants those same accolades. He's not doing it cos he thinks he can win.

    Lop sided mismatchs are not good for the sport.

    Brook has plenty of competitive options in his own division. He should be perusing those fight , especially after his weak run of opponents since he won the title.

    There is no need for Brook vs GGG.

    I agree.

    Do you think it was brave of Sammy Scaff to fight Mike Tyson?

    Nonsense, with no basis in reality. Khan came with an excellent plan for Alvarez and i thought he executed it well and was leading at the time of the stoppage. He was, of course, in danger of KO every second of that fight, which is why it was brave of him to take it.

    Obviously, but you're muddying the water. This has nothing to do with your statement or my objection to it.

    Right, but he believes he's best served taking a far harder fight, against a far better opponent and it's got absolutely nothing to do with you whether or not he takes the much, much, much, much easier, less risky fight you are so desperate for him to take.

    He's taking a huge chance in pursuit of greatness (and money :lol:) at risk of his life. Admirable and brave. I wish more fighters would take try to take the very hardest fight available to them, even if armchair fans expected them to lose it. It would lead to mismatches, but overall the sport would be way better.

    The criticism, and this is ESB so there has to be criticism, apparently, should be aimed at Golovkin. A fighter who puts his life on the line against a pound-for-pounder should always be admired for that courage, even where it seems a forlorn hope that he can win.

    Yeah yeah, no need for Tyson-Douglas or Baer-Braddock or Ali-Liston either I suppose. You don't have to watch it. Brook will be fighting Sammy Vasquez or some such next time out and you can get all lathered about it.

    Ya but he is more likely to suffer serious damage vs Golovkin. You make it sound like a walk in the park a win-win but cares about boxing we are impressed because Brook is putting himself in serious danger.

    I don't know what heavyweight have to do with anything.

    I'll still watch as i'll be rooting big for Brook to win , but i'd rather see him fight the big names at welter ive been waiting for him to do for the last 7 years.

    Id rather not see him take a career shortening beating at the hands of GGG.

    I also don't want to see a beast like GGG select guys two divisions lower.

    Canelo got ripped for it. So should GGG.

    Thats exactly why i have no interest in it.

    Look at Canelo and Oscar jumping in joy after almost killing poor Khan. Sad times.

    It's clever what they're doing. They don't want to risk the belt against the Thurman's and Spence's they're simply not confident.
    So take a big money fight against GGG that they're not expected to win. Sure risk taking a beating, but nothing's lost you've still got the belt and kudos for taking the fight then continue to fight tomato cans.
    Very clever.

    It's a different kind of risk though,I think all of us would have preferred Vargas.

    Yet again, the relentless Mr.Gee manages to insert the Welsh Dragon into a totally unrelated thread.

    At some level, you've got to admire that kind of tenacity, like a dog with a bone !


    Speaking of a bone, is it possible that Missus Gee and Kell might be secretly....don't know how to put this....well... you know...?

    I see a lot of but hurt ameriCANs upset that two British welterweights in a row went up a chasm in class and weight to fight against all odds, while their countrymen are making up excuses and citing business decisions. Add to this Fury going to Germany brimming with confidence and beating a seemingly unbeatable machine in Klitschko and you got a lot of fragile egos crying online.

    Face it. British showed yanks what fearless looks like. You pussies got soft with your safe spaces and your court cases.

    Indeed. It's very bizarre but Herol's been acting particularly odd of late.

    In reference to your post the nickname 'The Italian Dragon' might have been the least catchy in all of boxing. He should have just called himself the Prince Of Wales and been done with it.

    On topic - I think we'll finally see Khan vs Brook post GGG knocking Brook out with both talking about how they only lost to Canelo and Golovkin due to being at size disadvantages.
