    Considering nobody will fight Golovkin, I don't see how this is debatable.

    At least Canelo set a catch weight of 155. GGG is saying 160.
    At least Canelo once fought as a Welter and for the majority of his career was a jr. middle. GGG has ALWAYS fought at middleweight.

    Yeah and at one point I was 8 lbs. 7 oz.? What's your point? Nobody wants to fight Golovkin. Brook is the same height. Brook hasn't been slept multiple times at multiple weights. I'm not saying this fight is ideal, but come September there will be PLENTY of clowns like MVC! and others saying Brook will win. He will get KO'd then people will bash the win. And above all, Canelo doesn't want to fight Golovkin unless its 155.

    "Is normal."

    Canelo-Khan is more deplorable, since Canelo ducked his mandatory & Triple G signed to fight a legit middleweight that ducked. but insofar as the actual fights in the ring, Khan had a better chance than Brook does. Triple G is a seek-and-destroy assassin & Brook is fairly easy to hit. Khan had speed, skill & legs advantage against Canelo.

    Canelo v Khan because at least Brook is the number 1 WW whereas Khan isn't.

    This is much worse. It’s worse because unlike Canelo, Golovkin has been going around saying how he’s a real MW, the real MW champ. Golovkin Brook is also worse because Canelo vs Khan had a catchweight of 155, so Khan only had to go up 8 lbs.

    Brook has to go up 13 lbs and has to give away 13 lbs to GG !!

    That gives GG a much greater weight advantage vs Brook than Canelo had vs Khan.

    It’s also worse because GG said he sent a contract to Eubank but Eubank never got it !!

    The list goes on an on !! Golovkin is a JOKE of a MW CHAMP ! Taking on Welterweights at the FULL MW LIMIT ??

    i'm sure Triple G would rather fight Saunders for that belt. Eubank would've been better, but you take what you can get. Canelo is a certified DUCK, dropping his lineal belt like a little girl and running away from a mega-fight.

    Khan was and still is the #1 Contender and Mandatory to Danny Garcia’s Title!! A big deal was made of Canelo being GG’s mandatory when he held the MW title, but yet no one seems to care that Danny Garcia isn’t taking on his mandatory in Khan !

    The best overall WW is a hugely debatable topic. You got Thurman, Garcia, Brook. There’s no clear #1 overall WW.

    This is far worse for the obvious reasons of amount of weight given away, Golovkin’s claim as being an actual MW, unlike Canelo, who never claimed that, etc.

    This is really going to be fun, because all the reasons why Canelo was criticized for fighting Khan can be applied to Golovkin fighting Brook only WORSE !

    :rofl

    Extremely unproven

    Hugged his way to a victory over porter and got his clocked cleaned by jones.

    That's about it for his highlights

    Of course the bunch of losers supporting Golovkin will vote for Alvarez vs Khan, when in reality both are the same.

    He's still fighting a guy two weight divisions below him. If he's ranked highly, he's ranked highly TWO WEIGHT DIVISIONS below him. Can your disturbingly limited mind comprehend?, I highly doubt it.
