"I want to test myself with the best fighters out there and Triple G is the best fighter out there," Brook said. "We offered fighters, champions, so-called champions, millions of dollars to come fight Kell Brook and all we received really was silence and bluster," Hearn said. Welterweight champ Kell Brook hopes that jumping two weight classes will let him prove he's just as talented. Brook has been hunting for a major fight since winning the IBF title, while Golovkin has had trouble getting any fighters to challenge him. "To be a great fighter, you have to do great things," said Brook, who described himself as "an animal" who has "a leap and a step to this fight."
