    i think there is a good chance golovkin-de gale will happen in the future. golovkin's team appear to have formed a good relationship with eddie hearn so i think we could see golovkin fighting a few more times in the uk especially considering he's getting paid good money to come over here. de gale, eubank jr, saunders all possible opponents...

    The fights at 160 and Kell is moving up 2 divisions to face the biggest puncher at MW. It's not that GGG is seen on "another level" from the the others you mentioned. It's that GGG has every advantage really.

    Whereas Pac and Mayweather are noticeably smaller than Brook. Cotto is a little smaller too, probably. While Canelo is maybe a little bigger. These are all closer match ups in terms of size and skill gaps.


    If this fight were fought at 154 or lower, the odds would be different. But, at MW it's a complete mismatch. The skill gap is not wide enough to make up for GGG'S physical advantages, with good skills to boot. The saying that weight classes matter, rings true here.

    Right but that's different. It seemed like he was mocking the actual statement rather than the relevance.

    Despite Brits dominating hard our fighters are, for some weird reason, still massively underrated. There's going to be a lot of people very shocked I feel.

    I mean i'm not one to call this a huge mismatch but all are smaller than golovkin. Nobodys saying anything except the weight gap is too much.

    mayweather pac are smaller than kell, canelo is only one weight class above and cotto is a small 154lbers who came from 140...

    Brandon Rios is a natural light heavyweight draining down to welterweight, and even JR welterweight at one point, for a weight advantage.

    The only person you named people would hype up Brook fighting is Pacquiao because people love everything he does regardless.
    Mayweather would be bashed for picking on an unproven hypejob.
    Canelo would be accused of picking on smaller fighters.
    Cotto probably would get credit through.

    How the fu(k is a former SFW,BW,LWW, & WW fighting another Welter the same as a MW fighting a WW. GGG-Brook isn't a bad fight isn't a good fight either but get serious, and stop with these jokes to try and make it legit.

    Yes he does.. I don't post here much at all anymore, but I see people are still arguing with trolls.. He could say GGG would KO anyone from 175 down but everyone keeps ducking him and could get at least 5 pages of ****...:lol:
     
  13. *This is obviously a very poor example because Rios got really fat between fights. I obviously know it was not good weight and that he looked like garbage against Timmy, but I will use this to illustrate my point because I'll do anything to discredit GGG, his opponents, and I'm just flat out intellectually dishonest.
