Which fight is worse?

[mikeeod]

GGG wanted Canelo in September and Canelo ducked him, he then signed to fight Eubank jr., and he ducked GGG, so I'm ok with him fighting Brook at this point. It won't be an impressive win to me, since Brook is a much smaller man, but I don't blame him for fighting an opponent with name recognition. As others have stated, all dominant middleweight champs have defended against Welters: Hop, Hagler, Monzon, Robinson, Lamotta, Emile...etc. I would like to see GGG crush Jacobs and Canelo, but after that, there are no real threats to him.

Like in any profession you go the Xtra mile take on a bigger challenge. If GGG were white or black this would not be tolerated. He is basically copying Canelo with a pathetic resume of opponents.

Good points made on both sides.
I will say Canelo taking on a fighter moving up without a major win and getting knocked out more than once along the way is far worse.

Both are bad but canelo khan is worse. The reasoning is that it was specifically billed as a huge fight and was primarily made. It wasn't a backup plan. GGG at least had the desire to fight a middleweight but eubank ducked out so GGG picked a welter to fight. And Brook is seen as maybe the best welter while khan was closer to the 10th best welter.

With all that said, it's unfortunate that this is the fight we get.

The hell with the BS fanboy sale job what matter is the end result after you criticize Canelo's decision to not fight this fall at 160 you counter and challenge a welterweight. This is head and shoulders worse . GGG has surrendered the only leverage he held previously over CANELO. Now it is obvious he is an even greater coward and his resume needs to be scrutinized more. So he will fight a smaller fighter just not a Canelo, Charlo or Lara. Hoping the cherry picker gets plucked. GGG needs to stop using Mexican Style phrase asap !

First off good on Kell Brook for jumping at the chance to take that fight....he's going to get his ass beat something fierce but he'll make some good money doing it.


Both of these fights suck, but let's lay the blame where it rightfully belongs....at the feet of Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez. He was offered the fight at 160 for the 160 belts, the money was good the people wanted the fight to happen and he didn't take it.


Now something similar might be said about GGG not taking the fight with Andre Ward, but when we're talking about that we're also talking about where Ward fights (his back yard, ALWAYS his backyard be it Oakland or San Jose or LA) and that makes a difference....I do not believe location was an issue for GGG-Canelo and I do not believe weight was an issue either as both guys are smallish middleweights but could still move up with some success I am sure.

Not sure who is to blame for Ward-Kovalev not happening, but that one deserves a look as well

Let's lay the blame where it rightfully belongs GGG has been a pro for 10 fuqen years 10 FUQEN years and has yet to fight a marque name or have a signature win. GGG had no leverage then and further lessens his ability to dictate anything in a match with Canelo in the future. He could have moved down one weight class ad discredited a Canelo opponent instead he calls out a welterweight to fight at 160 . That that is a pussier move than Canelo has ever maneuvered. This is another PPV stinker for GGG

GGG is the Middleweight Champion of the World why should he move down a weight class? Especially if the titles they were to fight over were the Middleweight titles! Why indeed?!?

If Canelo wants the Middleweight belts he's going to have to fight at.....anyone? anyone?



MIDDLEWEIGHT!
