    Just to be an ******* in an easy mud drag for team GGG, I will help some of you maintain your dignity. This should prove to you to be "FIGHT FANS" and not "FANBOY/MAN LOVERS".

    Canelo was criticized for fighting Khan.
    Golovkin will be criticized for fighting Brook.
    Replace either name at 160 with Mayweather and it is suddenly a fair fight, why?:huh

    Floyd is held to a much higher standard than any other 147 pounder. His ability is such that the weight difference can be circumvented by sheer boxing brilliance.

    TBE

    Nobody should demand Floyd go to MW, but he does bring it upon himself by calling himself TBE and saying 160 champs are 'easy work'.

    Floyd is a generational fighter and is held to a higher standard. With that being said I have never cared for the fight. First of all because the fight was never even on the drawing board. From the very start GGG was saying 154, not 160. I have only ever heard of 160 thrown around for a Mayweather fight from Mayweather and his fans. Second of all, despite my thought that ATG's should be able to beat fighter larger than themselves, GGG is just too large of a fighter for Floyd to be getting into the ring with.

    Claiming that Floyd should fight Golovkin but Brook shouldn't is basically admission that you believe Floyd is truly TBE.
