:scust:I absolutely hate the way these UK fighters choose to maneuver in boxing.

Guys in recent years like Haye, Khan, & Brook.

You got a guy like Haye, who spent his entire heavyweight career trying to talk himself into a big fight. Khan trying to talk himself into a Mayweather fight. Brook content fighting bums until a Khan fight.

At least Froch put in some work.

Anybody with sense knew they should build up the fight until fall next year and fight at 160. I said it last month this should happen and that's what exactly happened. the WBC are idiots for taking the belt off Nelo tho with that ridiculous 15 day window.Well I wouldn't say idiots, they could have stood pat and not jump the gun.

But......will he go be great and go up to 168 after Canelo is THE question :lupe:

The fight is happening sooner then I thought it would. I honestly believe GBP was looking at May 2019, which made sense because GGG would have been about 37.

I see the new hbo trend though. Sign the big fight like 18 months in advance and have tune up fights to build up to it.

Imagine if Khan-Brook signed up to fight each other. Their verbal agreement would be in 2021. Nyggas making trailers 4 years before the fight. 3 years before the fight, they do a 24-7 style show. 2 years before the fight they are having press conferences.
