    Yes, it's been well over a year since Froch last fought. Yet you give Ward a buy for fighting someone like Smith, but expect Froch to fight Golovkin.

    Berto is a bigger name in the states....well Frankie Gavin is a bigger name in the UK than all these guys who have fought on HBO like Alexander and Chaves and Rios and whoever you keep saying Brook should've fought instead of Gavin (but only Chaves could have actually fought for the title was approached but was injured) and the gulf in class between Gavin and those guys (and I'd pick Gavin to beat Rios, and it's close with Alexander and Chaves) it's FAAAAAR less than the gulf between Brook and Berto.

    And yes, if Mayweather had paid his sanctioning fees and beat Brook it would've helped his ATG status because in the era of split titles nobody has ever unified the welterweight division. And that's an achievement listed amongst Hopkins 'ATG' resume.

    See the difference between Gavin being a bigger name than those guys is Brook is coming off fighting jojo the bum dan. Floyd is coming off fighting the #2 p4p pac lmfao. Do you not see the huge difference between these situations?

    Nope, it wouldnt have helped him at all becuase the opponent is Brook. They'll completely **** on it and say "brook only fought bumsw his whole career", "his resume is a complete fking joke, he was coming off fighting 2 bums ffs". The only way to help his ATG resume now is to beat way bigger guys.

    But Floyd doesn't need to fight mando's because without a title everyone in and around his weight class will still take that fight.

    If Brook doesn't have a title, do you think Haymon or Arum will risk a defeat by putting them in with Brook?

    And Mayweather has had the Sept 12th date booked since he beat Pacquiao (who hasn't been p4p number 2 for some time by the way). Everyone at welterweight will still fight Floyd. He is not being asked to fight at 5 weeks notice. Yet he cherry picks a fighter when there are at least 30 better fighters in the same division.

    Do you not see the difference. Brook needs a title to get big fights- and even with it they aren't exactly queing up. Mayweather does not.

    And one of the thing people often say about Hopkins was he is the only person to unify the Middleweight division. Does it matter that one of the guys he won it off was Keith Holmes (who was far less accomplished than Brook). No.

    Mayweather would become the first man in the split title era to unify the division. Not the 17th. Not the 9th. Not the 2nd. The 1st. And yes, if it counts for Hopkins, it counts for Mayweather.

    Ok he got the mando out of the way and it was a terrible fight. So why fight another bum right after? You see the difference? Dan can be excused because he was a mando though he's a bum, but 2 bums in a row is a :nono.

    And Pac was #2 p4p before the Mayweather fight, he hasn't been #2 since he lost :lol:. Also who says he's fighting Berto? IT's not even official. But either way, we all know everyone is willing to fight Brook too besides Khan. Brook is ducking Rios ffs LOL, he's looking for Bundu and Van Heerden.

    GGG by stoppage, possibly getting off the canvas to do so

    We've been through this multiple times ellerbe. You seem to have reading comprehension issues.

    He had 5 weeks to make the fight. If he didn't make the fight Gavin was going to be demanded into a final eliminator with the guy Dan beat- Kevin Bizier. So he would have had to fight him anyway.

    I've also challenged you multiple times to name the fighter that steps up and 5 weeks notice. You have failed multiple times. Bear in mind at that notice the fighter HAS to be ranked in the IBF top 15 and CANNOT be coming off a loss.

    So all you are constantly doing is giving Brook stick for fighting Gavin on May 30th rather than waiting until he beat Bizier. You know this, so why continue to do it?

    No Pac has not been P4P number 2 in a while. Before the Pacquiao v Mayweather fight was signed you was not saying that either.

    Secondly I've asked you to find me ONE credible source. Just ONE other than a video of Khan lying through his teeth that Bundu and van Heerden are being targeted. Yet you keep failing. And as I've told you multiple times- Bundu is not ranked by the IBF, he is coming off a loss and already ducked Brook when he didn't want to get stopped so fought Thurman instead.

    Here is Eddie Hearn to tell you those rumors are nonsense who will have more of an idea than Amir Khan just picking a name off the top of his head:

    If I was in with GGG I'd punch him the ear. I've got a sneaky feeling he is sporting a glass ear. :nod

    If I was in w/ GGG I wouldn't punch him at all. I'd just get on the ground and into a fetal position..

    This is how I see the fight going:

    Round 1: Golovkin comes out cautious. Feels Lemieux out. He doesn't throw any huge punches, focusing more on his jab and getting Lemieux's distance/timing down. Lemieux tries to establish his own jab. Rushes in a few times but without prevail, as Golovkin creates the distance he needs with his superior jab.

    Round 2: Golovkin comes out more aggressive. Now every time Lemieux rushes in he counters hard. His activity increases and begins to punish Lemieux for his mistakes. Lemieux answers to Golovkin's increased aggression by being more aggressive his own. This round we will see how Lemieux responds to Golovkin's power and vice versa. Lemieux finds it hard to hit Golovkin clean and is instead countered hard. He keeps rushing in but is paying a costly price. He stumbles/may go down. Golovkin establishes his dominance.


    Round 3: After the 2nd round, Lemieux appears more worried about Golovkin's power than showing Golovkin his own. He is being forced on the back foot and Golovkin continues to break him down. Cutting the ring off and forcing Lemieux into corners. Lemieux has moments of where he tries to release combinations but they often come with a price of GGG capitalizing on the mistakes. Lemieux can't seem to force Golovkin back and instead is being pressured more and more. Golovkin's superior technical abilities are on display.

    Round 4: Golovkin puts Lemieux down on the canvas. Lemieux survives the 10 count. After this, he is now begins fighting not to lose rather than to win.

    Round 5: Golovkin continues to break Lemieux down. Lemieux's corner pleads with him to increase his activity and try to land something big on Golovkin, but Golovkin's power has totally disrupted Lemieux out of his gameplan. Golovkin doesn't seem worried about Lemieux's, but then again, hasn't given him many opportunities to land something big.

    Round 6: Golovkin has Lemieux on the ropes. In a final attempt to make something happen, Lemieux takes a huge step forward and they trade left hooks. Lemieux's punch lands but Golovkin is more accurate and he hits Lemieux right on the button. Lemieux goes down unconcscious. Pacquiao'd.

    THE END:D

    I'd rather be brutally KO'd by GGG than Kovalev.

    At least I'd get called a good boy after and not a piece of s**t
