    Hopkins fought about 3-4 former welterweight champions during his middleweight run, Golovkin is fighting one and he gets criticism for it.

    HBO never labeled Hopkins a beast that could knock out heavyweights like they did for Golovkin.
    Plus GGG clearly avoiding any fighter in a weight class above him is shameful. He is no different from Canelo.

    Exactly " former"

    Brook is still a welter

    Marquez wanted the fight and was never in any danger of being KO'd.
    GGG is suppose to be a beast, he now looks more like a *****.

    You guys are damn ret@rds how many "Current" WW Champs did Hopkins or Hagler fight, Roy Jones started his career at LMW was he still a LMW when he fought Ruiz jeez you guys are stupid.

    Also Brooks in ring weight is the same as guys like Khan,Garcia and less than guys like Thurman, Porter so how is he this huge Welter do some d@mm research its not that hard to find.

    He is a beast saunders and jacobs admitted themselves they are not ready for him he is the man at 160 and that is very very clear

    Golovkin is a monster no one under 175 stands a chance with him

    Hopkins fought Tito former WW who looked like a beast at 160 vs Joppy also DLH was the king at 154! Brook is a small WW who has not even had one fight at 154 so Dumb thread !

    Small WW, GTFOH, dude's a massive WW. Not defending the fight but let's not start making up BS.

    Unfortunately as much as I think it's a disgraceful move it's annoying to be on the same side (or relatively at least) as these ****ing hypocrites, you're right. Floyd, Hopkins Canelo and whoever else can drag up fighters, it's fine. GGG does it, all hell breaks loose.

    Sooo what Floyd and Golovkin have done is essentially the same thing? 12 lbs vs 13 lbs.
