And so the tale continues for Kell Brook and GGG. Today in a major surprise, Canelo Alvarez has agreed to fight Amir Khan on May 7th. This fight wasn't even talked about as a possibility. They will be fighting at 155. How this is a better fight for Khan than fighting Brook is beyond me. He might lose to Brook. He will get knocked out by Alvarez. But again Alvarez fights as a middleweight at something less than 160. As for Khan, hope the money is worth it to him.

Alvarez, Khan finalize deal for title bout on May 7

First to hold and defend three titles at the same time. One of the best P4P ever.

Not given enough credit for being the first to break the color barrier in sports. Was eventually removed from the sport under the auspices of the BS Mann act for transporting a white woman across state lines. Credited for the term great white hope.

Retired undefeated but fought during one of the lesser known heavyweight eras. Has name fights on his resume but most were past their prime. Still ranks as one of the best heavies ever.

Some say he is the greatest ever P4P. Crossed over into show business. Moved up to middleweight despite heavily outweighed and still dominated.
