Imagine if that was Golovkin against Khan

At least they were the same size Derrick.

 

Who has ggg fought that was world class? Know one. Cannel wins because he has fought better opponents (Cotto, Lara, Khan).

 

LMAO Khan, seriously?

 

Monore was a Big middleweight with a solid chin. Huge Difference.

 

Gennady Golovkin is open to a fight with Kell Brook if a weight class can be agreed, promoter Tom Loeffler has revealed.

IBF welterweight champion Brook would be interested in moving as high as 157lbs for a catchweight fight against a big-name opponent, his promoter Eddie Hearn said last month.

Golovkin's representative Loeffler has responded by challenging Brook to follow in the footsteps of legendary welterweights who have made the move to middleweight.

"If Kell is really serious, it would be something to discuss," Loeffler exclusively told Sky Sports.

"Brook is one of the best fighters in the sport. He's at 147lbs and Gennady is at 160 so the only question we have is about the weight, nothing else.

"A lot of great welterweights have fought at middleweight - a classic example is Sugar Ray Leonard, who moved up to 160lbs to beat Marvin Hagler.

"Any comments we have made about Brook have not been disparaging, we have a lot of respect for him.

"His win over Shawn Porter was fantastic - I rated Porter as one of the best welterweights in the division so for Brook to come to America and beat him speaks volumes."

Golovkin, the WBA 'Super' and IBF middleweight champion, is the mandatory challenger to the WBC belt that Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez will defend against Amir Khan in May, and has made it clear his eventual title shot will not be held at a catchweight.

Loeffler says Golovkin would only consider moving up a weight, rather than down, and would admire Brook if the Sheffield puncher also chose to leave the comfort of his welterweight home.

"If you outgrow your division, I don't consider it a major accomplishment if you move up," Loeffler said. "What is a big accomplishment is fighting outside of your division when you don't have to.

"Kell clearly can make welterweight so if he ever moved up to middleweight to challenge Gennady, that would be a big statement. Kell is the type of fighter that I would give the most respect to."

Golovkin recently extended his unbeaten run to 35-0 with a second-round stoppage of Dominic Wade, while Brook holds a perfect 36-0 record having dispatched Kevin Bizier in similar fashion.

 

They(GGGs side) are talking up the fight in other articles too. Look it up.

Wrong, After Khan turned down Brook for Canelo, Brook said "get me Golvokin" to try and better Khan.
Hearn told the story himself, when the Canelo Vs Khan fight was announced Brook rang Hearn and ordered him to make it.

So Hearn rang GGG's team and asked a few questions. It wasn't the other way around and Golovkins team didn't take it that seriously.

Brook won't fight Golovkin, Brook settled down and is now close to announcing Jessie Vargas.

 

I tend to think GGG would have seriously injured Khan and very glad that question won't be answered. Khan had me worried after Canelo caught him. I was scared he damaged his neck.

 

Blame the IBF you clown. It was a mandatory.
