    Yeah. He has a better chance than Canelo since Brook had the cojones to sign the contract. But...that's it.

    So Khan jumps up 2 divs. to take on a big name fighter and he's
    "selling out" but when Brooks does the same he's got "major cojones"?

    ESB moving that line again.

    So Khan, a featherfist who has no chin and had been rocked and dropped several times in previous matches, and had been KO'd twice previously against average punchers at best, jumps 2 weight divisions to take on a big name fighter, with moderate power in an effort to duck Brook, and headline a US PPV.

    And Brook, who's a huge WW who beat Matthew Hatton far easier than Canelo Alvarez, and who's never been down as a pro, who's been hurt vaguely once or twice, who's a fairly big puncher, will be moving up 2 weight division to face one of the biggest P4P punchers in the sport, because he wanted to.

    Yeah Brook does have massive cojones.

    He was like 19 y/o at that time though right and at WW? I don't think that really counts. He has physically grown a lot since then and has been in with full blown LMWs. He hasn't been hurt. His chin is solid. Golovkin, who hits very hard, can probably crack it. But, it's not suspect.

    True. But, really Canelo is the boss. It was gonna either be on his terms or no fight. We all knew that. Team GGG tried to play chess and came out with the belt, but, no big fight against a LEGIT opponent.

    Brook does not have that kind of leverage. But, he still gets credit for taking that big step up. He could have chosen Jessie "Average" Vargas.

    Most of the stuff you wrote is the usual pointless fluff designed to try and prove that you're being objective but you did exactly what I had pointed out.

    You just moved the line.

    No I didn't move the line, Canelo was supposed to fight a MW to prepare himself for GGG, but he chose a LWW with no power and no chin, instead of a legit MW, and then dropped the title afterwards, ducking GGG again. Khan was ducking Brook, he knew he'd get KO'd anyway and went with the more glamorous option. Khan had nothing to lose.

    GGG was negotiating with CEJ who decided to duck him as well, and Brook a WW stepped up and volunteered himself and his undefeated record, because he wanted to test himself to see just how good he is. Brook has nothing to gain but a loss.

    Khan ducked KELL BROOK to face Canelo.

    Kell ducked Jessie Vargas:lol: to face GENNADY GOLOVKIN.


    Yes..... he has massive cojones.

    Eh, you could sort of say Kell has nothing to lose as well. Yeah, he'll give up his 0 but he is selling it for $5 mill+. Not a bad trade. All the while he keeps his WW belt and status in that division. Hell, if he puts up a good fight, the other welters will be quaking.

    Edit: Yes, anyone, let alone a welter willing to step in the ring with Golovkin has cojones.

    Canelo beats that hype job Brook, aka the porter slayer. Easy work for GGG.

    Saying Danny Garcia is an "average puncher at best" shows a good lot of bias, friend.

    Especially when you going to then claim Brook "a fairly big puncher."

    C'mon now.

    Kell Brook wouldnt be even top 5-10 fighter at 154,Canelo is one of the better arguibly at 154 or was,got few gifts tho but anyway.

    Brook isnt even top 147 fighter,stop making jokes-he has 1 good win and thats it.

    Hes not a big puncher even at 147,not slick,doesnt have good chin either,all he has is brits hyping him in this very forum.Hes not better than Thurman or even Danny 'Gift' Garcia.
