"Canelo has to move up" -wrong. Lemme cut you off there. He actually doesn't, ever.

    Oh I see what u mean
    Yea , if that fight happens next of course people could say Brook ducked Spence Jr to fight the easier man in Amir Khan.
    Absolutely

    But lets just wait and see what Brook does next BEFORE we call him a "duck"

    I'm not saying it will happen next coz let's face it Khan has ducked Brook for years now. I'm saying the fact there saying they can't make 147 anymore so they will be going to 154 but said they would come down to 147 for Khan is very dubious to me.

    Of course is dubious, but Brook has been chasing Amir Khan for years , not just now that Spence came on the scene

    But if Brook was crazy enough to get in the ring with GGG ( for good money lets be fair) I dont think he'll be "afraid" of Errol

    That could be a great fight in the future, I dont see Spence staying for years to come at 147 , he seems a big welter too

    Don't think you have to be completely afraid of someone to duck them, you only have to think that the risk does not balance with the rewards. Don't know if you can see the difference.

    Canelo moved up after Floyd showed him who was the man in the division.

    Yea I agree 100%
    I dont think boxers are afraid per say to get in the ring with someone. Sometime they know the L is coming and they claim more money without admiting why.
    Errol is now a high risk low reward for everyone around his weight. It will be hard to get " names" in the ring with him. Kinda like Gennady was in a lot of ways.

    Yeah people are acting like if the Spence fight was 3 mil he wouldn't have picked Spence instead of GGG. But I would rather see him fight Spence because it's a competitive fight GGG brook was not. He got stopped just like most sane fans said he would.

    What's crazy is Brook was in the same position high risk low reward now he's doing the same ****. But fans don't mind coz they would rather play business managers than see good competitive match ups.

    Yea I hate the fans that say " my man makes more dough so he s A side ur B side " BS like that kills this sport.
    If ur a champ and you gotta fight everyone. Thats why this system of one mandatory/ one voluntary is in place, so everyone gets a chance to be The Man, some just abused it, and the sport as whole loses. Dana White is smiling right now

    I'm not a fan of UFC but i like there mandatory system, it seems you fight them or you get stripped. If I'm being serious boxing will be more dead soon HBO are getting the **** out, top rank is done, Golden boy have one guy, PBC are losing money and seem to be putting less fight.

    Yea interest in boxing is steadly going down. And for some time now. But in US. The rest of the world seems to be doing ok. Just look at the UK. Boxing is booming over there

    His body won't be able to drain 20+ lb forever. And 154 is definitely stacked with talented fighters. Many of them would beat Alvarez, and most of them would provide boring fights. Alvarez isn't going to draw viewers for much longer...even though he has that built-in fanbase, they're turning on him.

    Its not fair to say its only cuz of Joshua.
    Just think that Tony f××××ng Bellew headlined a stadium fight not too long ago. Bellew was KTFO by Adonis in Montreal some years ago, he s no world beater. The 2012 London Olympics helped alot. And it s not just AJ that won medals there. They have a different mentality over there compared to US. Too much ego in US IMO and we the fans suffer cuz of it
