    Then counter and refute the mans post with facts! Was what he said not factual? Did G bring up a welter in his last fight? Has G tried to move up in weight? Just because certain facts about G may be unpleasant to read or hear does not make the person stating them a hater!

    The Eubanks fight has nothing to do with him fighting a welter weight. He could have fought Lara who was calling G out. Which plays into G being a small middle weight, he could have fought Canelo at 155 or Lara at 154 in that case since he's such a tiny MW.

    Do me a favor and look at my posts regarding G. I like the guy but, his fan boys act like he can do no wrong! So you're telling me that just because the Eubanks fight fell through that G had to pull up Brooks , that there were no other options. And the reason he doesn't move up is because he is a small MW? Come on dude! Those are some very weak excuses! Why didn't he take on Canelo at 155 if he's such a small MW. Let me guess, Canelo was being greedy and didn't want to split the purse evenly! At some point G needs to bite the bullet and concede on certain things in order to put himself in a better position. The man is flat out awesome but, he is running out of time! Lets hope he gets the Canelo fight at 160.

    You need to step back and evaluate your post for a moment, friend. BeterBeast has never had an issue making 175 and always look extremely in shape before his fights.

    Golovkin would not beat the majority of 175'ers, what are you talkin about? A big guy with skills beats a smaller guy with skills. Triple G is not a master boxer, and is average to above average sized 160lb'er. He would have been physically handled and pushed around by Ward at 164. A good 175lb'er would use his weight, reach and strength to clinch and smother golovkin. While also being able to push him back to the center of the ring after a tie up.

    Manny off the top of my head has beat-Morales, MAB, BATB, DLH, Mosley, Cotto and JMM. All besides Tim Bradley being HOF locks.

    Floyd has off the top of my head beat-ODLH, Chico, Manny Pac, JMM, Cotto Mosley, all pretty much HOF locks.

    Golovkin is a few years younger than Pac-Man and hasn't fought anyone who would have an outside chance of possibly being in the HOF. Plus, Pac and Floyd grew to 147 from smaller weights, but triple G can just coast at 160 his whole career? Poor comparison, and post in general, friend.

    He avoided Ward at 168 do you think he will take a risk with a hard punching fighter at 175.

    Ward had his chance, and blew it.

    It's clearly evident that some of you just want to see Triple G badly hurt.

    This is *almost* a parallel scenario of GGG v Brook, only with Gennady in the role that Brook was in. There are a few differences though -- the most noteworthy of which being the certain impossibility that this fight would ever happen.

    Next we will see another post wanting Golovkin to fight Vlad, or perhaps Godzilla?

    Kell Brook was a last minute replacement.

    The contract for Eubank had already been signed.

    It's silly for anyone to say that he dragged up a WW. He didn't, it was just circumstances.

    No, he couldn't have fought Lara for various reasons.

    Again, he'd signed the contract for Eubank. The terms had been agreed to. The venue had been set, HBO's date had been set, and his camp had been set up. Everything was ready. Kell came in at the eleventh hour to save the show at the 02. Yes, GG didn't have to agree to fight him. Yes, he could have walked away. But there would have been no logic in him doing so. Think about it. In the end, he just used Kell as keep busy fight for a great pay cheque, that gave him great exposure. That's how simple it was. I've no doubt that any of us wouldn't have done the same thing had we been in his position. He didn't have any other options to salvage that date, and again, it would have been beyond stupid to have given it up to have fought someone else for less money.

    The reason he hadn't moved up yet, is because he's still got things to accomplish first at MW. That and the fact that the best SMW's are either tied up or injured.

    He was never going to take on Canelo at 155. You don't defend 2 of your MW belts in a huge unification at a CW.
