Come to Louisville, Kentucky. I'll prove more than my name to you. Pimp C already declined the offer, you want to be #2?
ill think about...whats your name again? so i know whos name to shout once i step fight in louisville...louisville is small right? one or two blocks?
Nope, it's a big city. You can meet me at Shawnee Park on the West End, any cab can take you there. My name is Daniel once more. Just shoot me a PM on a time and date.
Bollox. His record is no different to Deontay Wilders. One good win. Thats it. And a competitive win at that. Fighting GGG was a PPV cash grab that came with a built in excuse for losing and with the added comfort of knowing he still retains his IBF belt.
They care even less about you. Who the hell are you anyway and why are you acting like your opinion matters? The WBA did not sanction it because it was a joke of a fight.
That does not contradict anything I said, I agree that Loeffler was keen on the idea. The point is that GGG himself said very clearly that he did not want the Brook fight. Loeffler, Sanchez, can say whatever, but clearly GGG had no thought of fighting Brook or he wouldn't have gone out of his way to rule it out.
that point means squat....weve argued that to death "guys say things they dont mean".....the bottom line is he didnt rule out because he actaully did it......he can say whatever he wants on camera....doesnt sanchez say a bunch of stupid things and people say "guys say things all the time...who cares its boxing"...... what i showed you did contradict what you said...clearly....loeffler and hearn could have potentially had this planned the whole time.......loeffler did nothing to remove himself from eubank without a signature by a certain time.... you wont allow yourself to be open to the possibility that ggg/brook was planned for awhile....because you cant let yourself...it will show a crack in your loyalty
imagine this....for the sake of argument pretend david lemieux is as big of a name/draw as kell brook for a minute....not talent wise or whatever...just as a name/sell...and lets pretend that lemieux isnt with golden boy...but with yvon michel or whatever so someone asks andre ward "would you be interested in david lemieux"..."ah no man lemiuex too small man hes a mw"......but virgil hunter suggests that it could happen and hes talked to yvon michel about it..... so andre ward is saying hes trying to fight adonis stevenson ....negotiations drag out till the "last minute"...but stevenson doesnt sign and ward says "welp sorry guys stevenson wouldnt sign...but i wanna keep my date at the bell centre instead of fighting a LHW so im gonna defend against david lemieux...ok guys? cool"? im sure ya'll would love that and see it as totally legit.....lol...cmon
I think we are talking at cross purposes. You are talking about Loeffler, you have proved that Loeffler liked the idea of the Brook fight, which I agree with. But note that does not prove that Hearn and Loeffler set-up the whole scheme with Eubank Jr losing his pen to get the Brook fight all along. I believe they'd set up the Eubank Jr fight, and only if it fell through would Brook get the fight. You believe that it was an elaborate stunt for GGG to fight Brook while dodging the criticism he would've got otherwise. Does that summarize our respective positions correctly? But I'm talking mainly about GGG. It's clear that he didn't want the fight. Can we agree on that? Note that I believe in separating the fighter from the promoter, e.g. I think much more highly of Canelo than ODLH as promoter. So I don't think I have double standards there.
Firstly let's ignore, for the sake of argument, the fact that Michel has Beterbiev, Alvarez and even Bute to step in. Let's say it's Lemiuex or nobody. In that case I'd see that exactly the same way, a money fight, but no credit from it whatsoever. Is that fair?
i would agree with your first paragraph...yes thats what i believe..and of course there is no way to prove it...but you know i can prove its possible...which ive done....other than them admitting it, which they never will, i cant actually prove it......but yes that summarizes my perspective correctly as far as ggg...it isnt "clear" he didnt want it...because he did take it......HE DID TAKE IT! if he didnt want it he would have told loeffler to get him a legit mw or a smw.....but he was fine with it....
