    Honestly he's not that small, he's a massive welterweight. He'd be a big 154lber, just a little undersized @ 160.

    Would you pick any to beat him? I would only take Murray and Lemeiux as having a chance against "The Special One"!!!

    Kell Brook is a p4p talent and he's big enough to fight @ 160!!!!!

    Sometimes I wonder if you're really just a Golovkin fanboy masquerading as a British fanboy.

    The problem is that GGG shat all over Canelo's choice to fight Khan at MW, but then goes and pulls the same ****, and doesn't even concede to a catch weight or anything of that nature. This is terrible.

    Catchweight would make Golovkin look worse, because he declined one for Canelo.

    Yeah, doesn't look too good on GGG's part.

    Yeah, but Canelo is a division below him, while Brook is two divisions below.

    I honestly don't think a catchweight makes much of a difference. Both Golovkin and Canelo rehydrate to 170. It's just easier for younger Canelo to cut down.

    But the fact is Brook hasn't even fought @ 154, never mind 160. You can say what you want, look at the facts. GGG has a ****ing terrible resume and he is pushing 35.

    He's 8 months away from being 35. How is that" pushing 35"?

    I am/used to be a big fan of GGG, but the new fans that have attached themselves to him are hard to deal with sometimes.

    Kell Brook would beat Khan IMO and would give Canelo ALOT of trouble.

    The reasons I feel this is worse than Canelo vs Khan is

    1) It seem's quite hypocritical doing it after Canelo vs Khan
    2) I was really looking forward to GGG vs CEJ

    I don't think the weight difference is any worse, Brook is bigger than Khan, he has a much stronger build and doesn't rely on speed as much any way.

    :patsch

    Canelo was supposed to fight GGG but chose Khan.

    GGG was supposed to fight anyone but no one wants.

    That's the difference.

    An unproven WW is a step up from the bums GG fights

    Sounds about right
