    A pass? You're crazy or what? Yes, I think that Spence is special but GGG is a much more dangerous challenge. How can you blame him for that troll?

    So Khan ducks Brook to go up and face lineal/the man middleweight champion of the world.

    But Brook isn't ducking Spence to go up and fight average joe middleweight champ GGG?

    You can't have one without the other it doesn't add up.

    Brook barely beats Carson Jones but then gets bashed by GGG and now he's the man to beat at 154? Hell to the no he ain't

    Brook is a small 154lber that is out muscled and out athlete'd by any of the better guys in the division

    I wouldn't say he ducked Spence either by fighting GGG, but Khan didn't duck Brook by fighting Canelo either.

    Brook did have nothing to lose fighting GGG though as can be seen by him getting bashed and hospitalised and his stocks apparently going through the roof regardless.

    Thank you, I agree, he was in a win win situation because he got paid well and got the respect of many fans now he has big fights being discussed as soon as he comes back.

    Did you give Brook a chance in that fight I gave a 5% chance, I even guessed round 4-6 he would get stopped and made a lot of money off the fight. What brook did is what Khan did rather than possibly risk losing to a guy in his division he opted to jump and lose to a name for a lot of money.

    Please. Prior to Brook agreeing to fight GGG (Only happened because Eubank didn't sign) they tried to get Garcia, Broner and then Vargas to the UK.

    He wasn't avoiding anyone at WW? Al Haymon and team Spence never made an offer to Kell Brook. There was no choice of GGG or Spence? The Spence fight wasn't on the table to try and claim Brook opted to take a loss v GGG instead of a possible loss vs Spence is BS.

    The difference with Khan was he could of fought Brook and earned more money than what he did facing Canelo but for him a loss v Brook is too much. Khan isn't prepared to take that L.

    Canelo is far bigger scalp than Brook and a much bigger profile builder for future pay days.

    So regardless of how much he may or may not have made for each fight Canelo appeals much, much more especially if you back yourself to win.

    Imagine what beating Canelo would have done for Khan's legacy? Tbh it is a bigger win than Brook over GGG because Canelo has a legit resume, GGG would become a new Lacey/ Bute and he is already old and on the physical decline I could easily see him rack up a few losses after his myth is busted

    Forget Canelo. Khan fought Chris algeri over kell brook.

    Are you crazy your saying beating the man with three belts that Canelo is ducking, is not a bigger win legacy wise? I could see an argument for saying its a bigger win money wise but that's it.

    Algieri was a last minute sub for pacman according to Khan

    Yet he just destroyed brooks orbital bone? Brook has a chance against Canelo he had no chance against GGG.

    Canelo has a resume stacked with real wins.

    GGG has a resume stacked with fantasy wins

    GGG and his team refuse to make concessions to get big fights and they are running out of time to build a real legacy.

    You're talking about 2 different things, now aren't you! If you don't like the mismatch then say so! You're trashing Brook for moving up and fighting a much larger and accomplished fighter in Golovkin than Spence! No need to criticize Brook for that! As far as me liking mismatches, I don't!

    He has the same chance against Canelo as GGG which is slim to none

    Canelo does but it all goes out the window when he's ducking GGG. There's nothing Canelo can say about GGG whilst he hides in the 154 from him that I can take seriously. GGG looks to be having big fights lined up soon to be fair so they were right to do what they did with Canelo.
