    GGG is taking a page from Hopkins' book by preying on WWs.

    Sky have Brook at 7/2 with GGG 1/7. They're giving Kell much more of a chance than I would.

    Good point. I don't blame brook. Vargas is a **** asking for too much and there are no other WW for him right now.

    pretty sure most of us GGG fans will be calling this what it is - inexcusable. I get that no 160 wants to fight him, but I'd rather he move to 168 for a fight over picking on a WW. I don't care how much Brook wants it and believes he can win. He's a WW. He's also the only one coming out of this looking good even if he gets stopped.

    Ward strives for greatness.

    GGG strives for a payday.

    Excited for this fight!! Excellent KO coming up.

    Trying to understand the english psyche....is there some honor in being BRUTALLY ko'd by a bigger man? Is this inevitable slaughter preferable to possibly fighting and losing to a man your own size??

    Khan and Brook fight is interesting again. See who's more ruined.

    Would like to see eubank and bjs rematch. Winner fights GGG.

    At 1/7, I'm almost tempted to break out the piggy bank and put a bundle on GGG.

    ^This. I immensely enjoy watching Golovkin, but I don't like this matchup. I'd rather see Golovkin fight another mandatory against a legitimate middleweight than see this.
